I can see why he was purchased (my issue was always that it wasnt much earlier to trigger the fee and get him to Portugal).
Hutch played well........more intent and effort than CHO.
I think he is trying too hard at the moment..........once he is settled in and relaxed he will be a far more effective player.
Needed the pre-season and a decent manger (like one) through the season.
Similar to Sangare who many people said was, yes, a donkey and we need to get rid of him (you know who you are) and now he has come good.
Players are real people, they are affected by all events around them like anyone else.
Confidence breeds better and better performances........we will get there.
Im one of them
Said Wood was a donkey, delighted he proved me wrong, literally nobody including probably himself thought he would score 20 last season.
Said Sangare was a donkey. He still is at times but has learned to adapt to the league. His illness first season didn’t help, again delighted he has come good.
They are probably the exceptions though. Do you want to give all of them time? How long? Because we might just find out they only come good in the Championship. We all remember Big Kevin Campbell fondly, the truth was he only actually came good in our promotion year in his 3rd season here, only established himself as a PL player with Everton. Just proves it happens a lot.
This is the problem we spent big money to be competitive this season, its not worked. Managerial chaos hasn’t helped any of them.
So back at you. Should we give managers more time? You were adamant you wanted Dyche out. Yet to be honest our problems this season, particularly scoring goals have been consistent across all 4 managers. Would we have been better off sticking with Ange? Im tempted to say so.
Its a difficult one..........Ange no. What happened next was the problem.
Had we appointed Vitor after Ange I dont think we would be in this position now. Ultimately the wrong appointments have created the mess, as well as the incorrect recreuitment strategy, we should have purchased a couple of decent proven players and not all talent for the future.
