Poor squad depth in central midfield is quite obviously what I mean!! Pack as third choice is fine for bottom half championship team.  

Sorry Dave but it's not unreasonable to think that referring to "squad" depth means you mean the squad, not just a part of it. By definition.

Either way it's still a harsh assessment of our midfield options, which are greater than they have been for a long time.

Was talking Pack specific so thought reference to central midfield was clear.

Our ambition is greater so need squad depth to reflect that.  Taylor and Pack proving we could do with better options

We cannot complain... been generally very poor. Pato looks unfit, hardly been in the game at all and without him 'on it' nobody passing the ball forward on the floor for Bobby & Taylor. Neither Bobby or Taylor are going to win high balls, so possession keeps being conceded. Only outlet for us is COD, who has played well. Awful goal to concede, reminiscent of Leeds, with no City defender putting his boot through it once Fielding had failed to hold cross shot. Đurić needs to come on.

Both sides slightly below par, but we haven't been shocking. Their form of defence and attack is just crowding. We've been generally strong in defence other than one freak deflection that led to a goalmouth scramble and another mêlée that resulted in a goal. Would like to see Leko come on, as the pace and pressing of O Dowda has been our biggest threat and Paterson is quiet.

You are more than right.

It was hit and hope i cant lie because it was. They made 2 mistakes and boom 2-1 up. Palace could have been 4-0 up by then. 

How can we go from playing like we did vs Ipswich to just whacking the ball anywhere in the space of weeks? Why do we need to rush these players back from injury for as well?

Pack has gone from first choice to third choice which shows the depth has improved and the squad is progressing. I'm not sure what more you expect in a relatively short period of time.
