There wasnt that much pace last season, we relied on both full backs, we desperately wanted a bit of additional speed from forward players especially since our style was to play on the break. One of those full backs has departed and we recruited a load of pensioners, It was glaringly obvious to me that we were deficient. It showed last night, we poured numbers forward but it was just so pedestrian we never stretched the opposition defence.
Please dont tell me Mighten is the answer, Yet again its the bloody recruitment.
The biggest mistake in the last 6 months, was sticking with Sabri through the summer, giving him the players he asked for, and then sacking him.
He should have gone straight after the Stoke game.
I’m sure we would have had a very different squad, had Hughton come in with the close season to shape the squad.
I disagree, I think we need to stick with the right manager and although Sabri bottled it in my opinion I think we should have recruited properly and let him go again.
In essence he started this season with a weaker starting eleven than he finished the last, which is reality is shameful.
