He had 2 half season scoring streaks under Karanka and Lamouchi but thats it, in my opinion he has gone as an effective striker.
Any manager is going to struggle if we stick with Grabban and Taylor up front we are a bottom 6 side. By the way this is not me defending CH, IMO we should have parted ways 3 months ago.
I would agree Grabban has peaked (I said we should have sold him last summer and got flak for that call). But he’s not as bad as he has looked under Hughton. He scored 2 pens and 4 goals from open play last season, that’s 1 goal every 500 minutes from open play! He’s better than that. And bottom 6? I bet way more than 6 clubs in our division would like to have him (just in terms of a player this season, ignoring budget constraints etc).
Get them playing with a smile on their faces, creating chances and enjoying their football. More chances, more goals, more confidence…
I just think if we bring in a good coach who lets these players show us what they’re capable of people will be pleasantly surprised.
Well that wasn't so hard now was it?!
Glad we have some pleasantly surprised Reds :)
