The recruitment in the summer was wasteful and scattergun but somewhere in this bloated squad we have enough talent to mount a top 6 challenge. I am certain we have more talent in our squad than Sheff Utd, I am also certain that Karanka would have got us top 6 if he had stayed.
It isnt working now and we are going backwards and for that reason I am losing patience. But someone desperately needs to come up with a strategy that works and that we see through.
We were never top 6 all season under Aitor. We huffed and puffed and ran out of breath just before the international break.
We had such a slow.....slow start under Aitor. Wasn't it littered with draws? No back to back wins.
Our recruitment was wasteful and had a scattergun bloated squad yet we're good enough to be top 6 when we never were under Aitor who for any length of time and haven't been since.
'Nearly men' is what this squad is. Brittle and lacks character. But if you're wasteful and use a scatter gun for recruitment using £20 million on super agent and don't recruit using a British DoFootball?
You're asking for it.
And now?
We have it.
Again.
