Bianchi, Doukara, Antenucci, Adryan and Pearce (left), Morison looks set to join that lot and yet, we are STILL losing. So surely they weren't to blame and we need to drop even more??? Cook is pretty much the only midfielder yet to be replaced. 0 goals, 0 assists and is the youngest player ..... May be a decent prospect, but is he really gonna pull us out of this mess? We need fighters, not teenagers in a relegation scrap, they would be ideal in a side at the top end, but not down in the relegation zone. Cook would be excellent coming off the bench with his energy, but we need leaders on the pitch, not followers
Murphy, Sharp and Austin have made little impact on procedings, yh they've played well but we were lucky against Bournemouth, Huddersfield and not to get thumped by Brentford.
Your thoughts
So we've dropped

PS, what does Ross County have to do with this articel? Is Cook from there?

"Same with Delph, we sold him, brought in an experienced player in Doyle who ain't as good as Delph but had the grit to get us up."
Think I've made this point before, but that is an extremely simplistic explanation of why we suddenly improved. Better defenders signed, Gradel signed and we had a Grayson for a full season, if they'd have been in place with Delph I'm fairly certain we'd have still gone up.

Appears to be a trait of Shaun's, Crusaders and Halifax are a couple of recent teams who've also had a surprise visit.

Now, before anyone says owt, anyone there you don't know I didn't put them there, they were there when I stole them!.
Question, anyone know who they were?.

Oh, no takers?..
They were according to the internetty our team that got relegated from the Premier,(old first div!)so, the level of football they were playing, how high would you rate the players in this div at the level they are playing?..
I'd think there was some class player's back in that team even though they went down, a shame we ain't got a little class just to see us a little better then we now are!..
But think on, the board back in them days got it wrong, if only they'd done things differently!.
Bring the players down all you want, it usually is the wrong people that take the flak, but, just maybe if things at the top were done the way "other clubs" did it it might just be a little better!..
Its not the player's, and its not the Joe that's put in charge of them, it goes a little/lot higher then that!..

Agreed Germany, hard (impossible?) to succeed in a toxic environment!

Shaun continues his crusade against any academy players. I remember his over the top criticism of Jonny Howson a few years ago

Surly people haven't forgotten Shauns stance on strikers?..
The position he most hits out at now, funny how he won't come back at my question that I ask him once in a while!..
Shaun, why do you defend your two bods now when they haven't really set the world on fire, and the way you brought down Becchio was shocking, even though like I said if he'd stayed till the end of his last season I reckon he would have taken our top scorer crown!..
Only my opinion before anyone craps one!..
And Somma, you always wanted to bring a cripple into the side, that's almost as hard to workout as the slagging you did of Becchio!..
posted on 10/2/15
Ahhhh Somma the saviour
But in all seriousness the only 2 I would even remotely think about finding somewhere in the side would be Antenucci and Adryan.
Although as shown on Saturday the 2 up top scenario doesn't work as it has in previous weeks, so I'm torn.
As for Adryan, who knows what's going on with him. Is he not working hard in training? He has hardly set the world alight but he's good enough for a place on the bench if he's fit and his attitude is right

I to don't think things are right in the striking department, I think the players can do it but the player's we have are not the right player's for each other, in other teams with other player's they might be what we're screaming for!..
But the blame there has to go to the top, the wrong player's together are producing what we are seeing, and the systems we're always messing with, you need the right player's to play them!..
Wingers would work wonders with this team, but, we can only say what we see,(I know, that should read what the goers see!)but we can't do what needs doing!..
