Rob k Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I see Cotterill and the players all getting slated after today's shambles and rightly so, however, How does 'burt' seem to escape any Critism ever, he managed to secure 1 signing over the summer, he's as much (or more) to blame than anyone. The failure of our summers work is why we are where we are and I have zero confidence he can change things in January. How has it come to this after last season?

nickolas Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Failure is not the recruiters, its the board and their commitment to a stubborn wage structure. BTW i see Gray scored twice again today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get me wrong I fully agree with that and said elsewhere that it will be SC stubbornness to change formation that will cost him his job but I still think our poor summers recruitment has put us in this position - we were up by March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the board down to the players. It's a combination of everything. Horrid summer, stubborn manager and players not good enough. The club has failed us and themselves from June up until now. Everyone employed in the part of the team that plays matches needs to take a hard look in the mirror and say I haven't been good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The failure of our summers work is why we are where we are and I have zero confidence he can change things in January. How has it come to this after last season? I've lost confidence in Cotts ability to find players better equipped for the Champ than we have. With the exception of Baker look at what he's brought in and then doesn't use. It speaks volumes. He's basically saying 'I screwed up again' every time he fails to play them (and he hasn't really given some a chance - Robinson for one). I'm not saying they are the answer, they just add to the reasons why Cotts is not the man for us in the Champ. Burt too if he recommended them.

Robbored Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 There are a number of very different reasons why City have been struggling. Question is where to start? Its been a major step up in quality since last season and it most definitely shows. Recruitment, or lack of it during the summer. That leads on to why that happened. Was it Senior Lansdown who refused to pay the wages? Was it that players didn't want to come to AG? Who knows? Formation. That falls directly at the feet of SC. 3-5-2 hasn't been paying off and we saw that again today but Cotterill refuses to change his style of play. Other managers at Championship level know how to play against it and set up accordingly. I don't see the need to appoint blame - not yet anyway.

Yep exactly...where do you stand do we need change? I still believe there are 3 worse teams than us in the league and watching Preston v Bolton reaffirms that, at least we look like we can score! i haven't hit panic button yet and think cotts needs a good November to try and turn it around, other than Sheffield wed, reading and today we haven't been outplayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
