I'm rather pessimistic. Preparing for a thrashing and anyone complaining about Paracki's form to eat their words to some extent. I don't think out midfield will function without him.
Will a CB (Fox or Mullen?) have to fill the DM spot?
Oh, I think Paracki is the best option we have there, but his form still hasn't been amazing.
I think he played much better against WSW, now that our midfield looked a bit more solid.
