I see your famine in front of goal and raise you a defence that concedes in 86pc of league games.
Yes, you could say that but this is an appalling defensive unit and how many of those goals today came from defensive errors and frailty? Long also gave away the penalty they missed.
Dont forget our injuries.
We’ve downgraded in quality of manager as the years have gone on. If you have good players you need a good manager, otherwise you don’t get the best from them. Cheap isn’t always cheap, it’s costing us more going down that route. Recruit a manager of quality, we do have some quality players but it isn’t showing.
I dispute going from Fergie to McCann was an upgrade (certainly not on paper, or status). It only ended up being an upgrade because he had the basis of a very good squad.You also missed out Butler, Jon! I’ll say no more on that.
He wasn’t when he was appointed - that’s my point. It may have turned out that way (for the reasons I gave). When it came to him trying to build a side, he p1ssed off to Hull!

McCann is a much better manager than Ferguson.
Blunt may well be looking after the finances very sensibly and making sure we are sustainable but as a personality as Chairman of our Club I do think he a non entity. ( I am trying to be polite ) He has no personality, seems to have very little empathy with supporters when questioned at Meet the owners meetings and as a figure head for the club he seems to be a non existent presence. We all know JR was a great ambassador and sales person for the club and it’s unlikely we would see the likes of him again but DB is the total opposite in that we never hear a squeak from him. The club needs some serious leadership from the top, a voice of enthusiasm who is going to communicate with the fan base Even GB has been almost invisible recently. Communication has become inconspicuous by its absence and that is not helping getting the fan base on side. In fact it is having the total opposite effect.The club must replace GM immediately or we are going down a very slippery slope very fast. GM is not going to turn this round that is quite obvious from his interviews.We need a manager with a Promotion on his CV someone who knows League 1 and League 2 someone with motivational skills and excellent man management ability. And we need him NOW. Who that person is I don’t know but I hope Copps has been doing his homework in the last few weeks and we have a 2/3 potential candidates lined up as serious possibilities.
