Nail on the head piece from Paul Abbandonato

I agree with the journo on a couple of points. We have better players than has been shown lately. Has Bulut coached them badly. Possibly when you see Robbo half the player he was and Ugbo doing well at Wednesday.
The other point about us being too defensive at home is valid, but we do not have players good at counter attacking. Again perhaps coaching is to blame.
If Bulut is unable to get a tune out of his players this week he will have to go.

All our forwards of recent times, bar maybe Kaba seem to go downhill after joining, most starting well, but quickly turning to shyte…. I give you our forwards coach, Tom Ramasut. How he’s still in a job defies belief.

Tom Ramasut. How he’s still in a job defies belief.

I was mentioning this to my old man the other day. He's been here since November 2021 and in that time you can't say any players have really progressed. Decent players come here and seem to struggle with the basics. We play so many teams who are more adept at moving the ball than us. If you look at all the teams we've put out in the last 2.5 years, the one observation you'd make is that, no matter the manager, we always look badly coached. And he's the common denominator.

Also, that comment about wages is bollocks. The only way to accurately know what every team's wage bill is is through their accounts, which are not published until the following year. So that list refers to our wage bill from 2021/22 when we had several players on big wages (including, allegedly, Alex Smithies on c.28k a week). I would imagine our wage bill is now much lower, especially if we're under scrutiny from the EFL.
