Theres just little quality in that list, i can see the list of names and i can recall most of their transfer values, but as it stands we have 2 strikers who offer any kind of goal threat, still no consistent championship goalkeeper, and a lack of centre midfield options - if pack gets injured now we are totally screwed.

He's worked in football for a long while now and he has his badges. You would think that after so much training and experience in his role that he'd be able to note weaknesses on the spot. There is no excuse for a professional manager to have poor in-game management. The game that sticks out was Leeds last season, in which they were pelting long balls over Joe Bryan (who shock horror was getting his arse torn wide open), and using a big centre forward to break the lines between our midfield, and then utilise him as a platform with additional runners. I watched it on the TV, granted, but **** me, you could get a better angle in the ground if you so wanted. This is the one that boils my piss more than anything LJ does. An almost inability to consistently impact a game with subs or minor tactical alterations. Gah. This remains a mystery for me as well. I am sure from the sidelines that LJ and his coaching team don't get such a good view of the overall pattern of the game, and so the in-game management is questionable to say the least.. That's why at the very top level rugby coaches sit in the stands to see things better, plus have video replays etc. I know Steve McClaren sat in the stands in the first half when he started at one of his recent clubs (Derby?) and got some abuse for it, but it does make some sense. I admit to not having a professional's experience of watching the game, but having recently sat in row 5 in the same block where I usually sit in row 25, I can confirm that at the lower level I was struggling to see the bigger picture of the game in the way I normally can from higher up. And when coaches and players watch the game back afterwards, what view do they get? Not the pitch-side one for sure; it's from the TV gantry high in the stand.

RedRobin13 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 In response to the various comments with regards to Transfers I have crunched the numbers for the current championship teams for the 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons. As you can see we are towards the top but our number of incomings are by no means anything unusual!! 1. Bolton W- 61 Signings 2. Wigan A- 58 Signings 3. Notts Forest- 50 Signings 4. Leeds United- 44 Signings 5. Rotherham U- 44 Signings 6. Sheffield U- 43 Signings 7. Blackburn R- 42 Signings 8. Bristol C- 38 Signings 9. Ipswich T- 38 Signings 10. Middlesbrough- 37 Signings 11. Hull C- 37 Signings 12. Birmingham C- 36 Signings 13. Reading- 34 Signings 14. Aston Villa- 33 Signings 15. Norwich C- 31 Signings 16. PNE- 30 Signings 17. Stoke C- 28 Signings 18. Millwall- 28 Signings 19. WBA- 27 Signings 20. QPR- 27 Signings 21. Swansea C- 25 Signings 22. Derby C- 24 Signings 23. Sheffield W- 22 Signings 24. Brentford- 21 Signings It highlights to me even more so how well Brentford are operating and looking through their transfers the success rate is incredibly high.

Some of those above us went up/down during that period so there would have been a considerable amount of churn for Bolton Wigan Rotherham Sheffield United and Blackburn, so I think our 8th position is a bit generous when compared to other clubs who have been in the Champ those seasons..

A move for Peter Crouch next then, to replace LJ, would you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
