I don't agree about the chairman, where would we be without Tan's money. I accept loads has been wasted on crap players and managers. For someone so experienced at running businesses he was royally shafted , particularly by Mackay and especially by OGS.
Managers- Slade's time was up so fair enough he went. Trollope deserved a chance but seems to think we have players akin to Barcelona who can just play a different way to how they've played for years. Only 7 games gone and we are in a desperate situation, with largely the same players as last season.
Players- Agree . We have 2 right full backs in Peltier and Richards and he is now playing a winger in Harris there? Connolly was poor on Saturday so gets dropped, after being one of our best players for a while. Manga , agree, he looks as though he can't be arsed. And defending from Peltier and Morrison last night was poor. John was taken off!
Manga and Pilkington will be gone next summer if not in January. They won't want to stay here, and we won't offer them silly money again.
Harris is still inexperienced and if he plays should play on the wing in a 4-5-1. There's no creation in midfield so obviously we leave out Whittingham! John has indeed proved he is no full back or even a wing back. Best wing back performance I have seen this season was from Peltier against Blackburn.
So instead of Malone and Peltier at full back we now have Harris and John, and Wilson in goal instead of either Marshall or Moore. No wonder we are losing. Amos will play on Saturday surely?
I think the same players can get us out of this if they play in a system that they are more comfortable with. The only person who seems to think he can persist with 5-3-2 is Trollope and he must start to realize if he carries on he will do himself out of his job.
If we lose to Leeds and Derby he'll be gone, and at the moment it looks like we will lose the next two.
