Holy shit you knew it was abject but somehow it just gets worse and worse before your eyes. Centre mid is killing us aswell as not having a RW - Shelvey and Longstaff are breathing out of their arses after 20 mins - neither can press, neither can track back then there’s Fraser - just what does he offer? Just a little bloke running in circles - have no output from that wing position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad needed extensive improvement. Because it’s clear that the owners are fucking clueless. - Sacked Bruce too late - Took a month to employ the wrong manager - Appointed a transfer consultant who it now appears to have been sacked 10 days into the transfer window - No Sporting Director or DOF i guarantee they’ll dither for the rest of the window and panic buy like they’ve done with Wood. We’ll then get relegated with an ageing squad on high wages which will struggle to get us promoted. it’s been an absolute shit show from start to present day.

black_n_white Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 It’s always been about center midfield for me. Having shelvey be the driving force of your team is destined to fail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schecter Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Was at the match today, depressing to say the least. Thought we had a good chance of staying up, however this season is beginning to feel like previous relegation seasons. Too many draws against relegation rivals, bad luck, narrow but key officiating decisions going against us and obviously some piss poor performances from the team and senior/better players not stepping up. Although I'm thrilled with getting rid of Ashely etc, the new ownership feel like they are making too many mistakes when they can't afford to. Maybe harsh as they've only been here a very short amount of time. But in the current circumstances there needs to be some direct and drastic action taken. Some very poor individual performances today and obvious we need a new midfield. Edited January 15, 2022 by Schecter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree with every point The DOF strategy is crazy, they’ve been outsourcing the recruitment to some agency and apparently won’t be concluded until well after end of January.

Awaymag Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) PIF need to decide what they are going to do. Are they: a) going to go all out for staying in premiership? If so then you will have to just pay the inflated prices and get Botman/Carlos and a CM in by Tuesday. b) Accept relegation and stop chasing champions league class players. We'll find out at Leeds as if Shar and Lascelles, shelvey and shortstaff play then it looks like b) was the decision.

Dr Jinx Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Yep big week, think Botman is over as far as this window is concerned but we should just go all out for the next best, the Serb at Fiorentina and Carlos. Bring in two box to box midfielders and let Joe play DM from now on. The manager needs to be absolutely ruthless now.
