Gregg 'Greta Garbo' Broughton said as much when he gave his one and only interview - that we would look 'internally' for players first.

So he'll never make the final sub in case someone else gets injured. Even more bizarre than I thought it was.

That to me is more than just a lack of players thing. That's appalling. JDT needs to be pragmatic - if he hasn't got the players to play his high-pressing, sexy attacking football blah blah, then he needs to set up with what he's got to win matches.

Bayes and Gally on transfers. They reckon we need 6, they also reckon we don't have a chance of getting them. Bayes also rightly questions the 'ask Gregg' bullshit.

Watched it a few times. Still no idea what he means right at the end when he gives his reasons for not bringing on Dack. Very, very odd. it's as if he's saying playing with Dack is like playing with 10 men.

I hadn't seen it in writing anywhere, but LancsLive journo confirming it. I stand by my criticism last week (for which I got unfairly pilloried by some absolute brutes on here 🙂) GB should at least give an update (I didn't say 'running commentary' as the strawmen will claim) as it looks utterly unprofessional for JDT to keep saying 'ask Gregg'. It also makes the club look dysfunctional when JDT knows nobody can 'ask Gregg'. It's no wonder JDT appears very frustrated by it all.

If we sign Styles and he's shit it's on you😉 Nice of him to reply though.

I've been making the same point. It can't all be blamed on lack of signings.

Heat?🤣

Believe me, after 5 years of Mowbray I desperately want JDT to breathe new life into the club. The manner of the defeats however is very worrying. Two 3-0 defeats in a few days. I don't think it's subjective to say those two performances were bad. Hopefully you're right and this is a 'players' thing... time will tell.

Good managers go into clubs and improve the players that are there. They can't just sign a new team straightaway....although, in his defence, he's not been given much help by 'Ask Gregg'.

Fit in with you? 🤣

And Dack. That's half a team. Name me their players who are better.

I disagree. The manager's a novice. Nobody can say with any certainty the problem is purely the lack of players.

Have you seen their team? We have far better players.

The other view is that teams like B/pool have worse squads than us and aren't capitulating twice in a week. I'd suggest this is more that just about the quality of the players.

This fella could be worse than Mowbray. 😪

One of the jobs of any manager is to improve the performances of the players he's got. Is that happening?

You now agree that the 'system' is a problem and that it's not just about the lack of signings?

We're talking about an identity. Of course he needs players. Time will tell...

Kompany is doing ok. They have an identity already. Didn't take Big Sam to make his mark when he took over clubs. Maybe this is JDT's 'identity' and it's just not very good??

You'd hope high energy isn't THE pre-requisite when making signings.

We need something to look forward to.

Calm down dear.

A bit of humour old boy....but it's looks very worrying. Time in the job isn't really relevant.
