I have been a staunch supporter of this board since they came in and have defended them on many occasions while at the same time being a bit of a critic of Dickov...But events since last season finished means I'm now not so sure... Every man and dog knew this squad wasn't even close to been big enough to cope by the time we kicked off..And already a few games into the season we are fielding sub benches full of pure kids..So is that down to Dickovs poor management or the boards lack of backing needed to give us a chance of promotion...Dickov has always said he was happy with it but then he would wouldn't he.Managers who have a go at there own board,don't last long.. So I was hoping that yesterdays transfer window would give me some pointers..There was talk of up to 3 coming in and I was hoping at least one would be a right back on a permanent deal...In the end we got a midfielder to replace Wellens who didn't go anywhere and he now faces a tough month or two trying to convince a sceptical Rovers public that he actually gives a toss... So why didn't we do more when we clearly needed it? Was it just that the players we needed weren't available or Dickov didn't want what was??,I doubt it..some very good players in our bracket moved yesterday..Or was it a case of the board just said no..!!! So I'm still none the wiser..Answers on a postcard please...
If the board said no why did they say yes to the 2 we did bring in.
We have borrowed a couple that's all,thats no investment in our team for the future....We have no right back STILL which is crazy...And we always have injuries more than most...This squad was too small in various positions with poor cover...Yesterday was the last chance to give us long term balance and a chance and for me they have failed to take it...
