Londoner Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I don' blame the players, I firmly blame the board and the manager. In january we had the perfect opportunity to add some quality whether through loans or permanent signings to add EXPERIENCE to this squad, experience that was NEEDED. We didn't, we instead signed players who aren' even getting a look in our side...."one for the future"....what about now the best opportunity for premiership footbsll in 10 years. This is made even more ridiculous by our injuries so what we do.....square pegs in round holes again and again and again. An embarrassment and not good enough. Wright is not a rb, brownhill who was on fire earlier in the season is completely ineffective on the right wing. We negate the football that sorted us so well to accommdate a big target man....goals yes, and he deserves credit for that, but ruins our fast flowing footbsll that we did so well under. I don' care if I get shouted down, look at the squads of the top 6 full of proven championship English experience. We don' have that in depth. The board you made your decisions in Jan and now we are paying the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 We are a good enough team to finish in the playoffs, but something seriously goes wrong during the halftime break because we come out like a bottom 6 side and start hoofing it around and Flint starts to play up front leaving us exposed at the back reliant on Magnússon who isn't strong enough and Wright who would rather get the wrong side and go into the book.

JBFC II Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 In reality we have the 17th most expensive squad in the division and we are 6th, it was never going to be kept up so we should all be proud of how much we have improved over the past year. It is really disappointing but the club has taken so many strides forward it's astonishing really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Meh. Better than to panic buy and waste money. Last January was even more underwhelming and now we seem stuck with a few investments that haven’t really made a difference bar Bailey Wright. I am happy to chance it with the current group than waste 2-3m in wages and loan fees on players who may have taken time to adjust just like the ones we did sign.

Bryans Left Peg Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 We've done remarkably well to be where we are. We were tipped for relegation pre-season. I would rather build towards promotion than go up when we aren't ready and come back down immediately. The progression made this year has been nothing short of fantastic, yet people can't seem to look at the bigger picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we would've went out in Jan about spunked a fortune on players and then went through a patch of poor form then everybody would be talking about how we shouldn't have disrupted the squad bringing in all these extra players! I remember this forum being happy with the transfer business done, possibly RB aside, when the transfer window shut. Hindsight is a beautiful thing - the club can never win.
