I don't think the players we've brought in are any worse than the players that left.
The difference is we've just got a grab bag of signings with no idea how they all fit and a poor manager.
We're playing 3-5-2 (or whatever variation you'd like to call it) with only 2 players really capable of playing WB at the club (and one of them has been a shit L/RW for his 3 years here).
Where's Batty? Or Powell? Why did we loan out Duru? Why has that Mularkey lad dropped off the radar?
I feel so sorry for Gueye.
He gets 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there and is slated because he doesn't change the game. He's clearly not an impact sub.
Ismael has drained all the confidence out of him.
The result doesn't match the performance - I'm stunned how we've lost this game - but it's the mark of a team going down that they lose games they should draw and draw games they should win. That's been our hallmark this season.
I think so, sadly.
This squad is less than the sum of it's parts. That has to be down to the manager and we know he's going nowhere.
To be fair if you were a player with any ambition you'd be running a mile from this club.
