Stiepermann is in the building

Done deal, three years. Not sure how I feel about a player that can play holding midfield, left side midfield or left back. Let's hope he's good in all those positions, particularly after Husbands debut, even if it is one game.

Missed attacking midfielder from his list of positions, ha.

Plus it looks like he's a bit of a unit, 6ft 3". 

Thank god we've got a manager who actually understands that if you are playing three 9 stone midgets up front you need to make up for that with additional physicality elsewhere on the pitch. It was so blindingly obvious in the away games that I went to last season that we were losing all the physical battles.... it was 100% the reason why we lost to Barnsley and Rotherham last season. 

Barnsley away was the game that made me realise that Alex Neil was a really poor manager who didn't understand how to build a squad or pick a team. Perhaps he's learnt from it, but not really any consolation.
