Evangelos Marinakis And Co

[Sabricadabra]

On paper I think Vrentzos and Co signed some good players in the summer and 99% of the members on here agreed at the time.

I really can't put my finger on what has gone wrong but in my opinion it's not fair or correct to put all the blame on EM and Vrentzos.

Freeman has ripped up the Championship in the past, Knockaert has ripped up the Championship in the past, Taylor has ripped up the Championship in the past, Colback should be more than good enough at this level as should Christie. These players don't just become poor players overnight and neither do players who were already here like Lolley, Figs, Ameobi and Grabban etc.

There is more to it than blaming EM and Vrentzos in my view.

I agree mate. There’s not much wrong with the players signed, and players like Christie and Colback have performed better than some are making out. McKenna is the best signing in many years, and Taylor is a good striker. Knockaert hasn’t delivered yet but he is the only one who looks to have the quality to unlock the better teams like Bournemouth and Swansea. I don’t claim to be as good a judge as Hodge, far from it, but what I see is a team lacking in confidence. As soon as they go a goal down the heads drop immediately. The humiliating collapse at the end of last season has knocked the stuffing out of the club, which unless we have short memories was on the rise and in the top six for month after month beforehand. Added to this is the loss of the best right back in the Championship (nothing NFFC could do about that), our top scorer being out injured, and our best centre back of last season out injured.

Hughton will get it right.
