I think the DCM and ACM are eclipsed by targets in or going to be in.

Ie. I think Tomlin no longer required or can now wait. And Colback? Too expensive if you can get twice the player abroad.

I would have liked to have had both in the squad but as first teamers some may argue they didn't pull up that many trees. However, they were robust not outstanding performers. (For the record, I liked what they brought to the side, especially Colback in the DCM position...) I felt they steadied the ship in a side that had become shot of confidence and the qualities needed to compete in the Championship.

But for the outlay, perhaps Forest can reach a bit higher and get better.
