We should be establishing a core of players that work as a team and do it well.
I have to agree.
The problem is that when he isnt playing we don't really look a threat.
With the players we have, if we can stay in the game for the first hour then bringing Tomlin on gives us a good chance of winning a game.
Problem with that is we don't play very attractive football and everyone gets on the managers back.

We need a bit of realism as fans and manage our expectations.
We need competition for places and some quality in depth but as we've seen, our owners aren't investing enough to get to that stage.
Until that happens I'm afraid we will be marking time.
