Chasing Our Tail

[wassy04]

2 seasons ago we finished with 51 points.

last season we finished with  53 points

we currently have 57 points with 4 to play.

Slow slow improvement on pitch, huge improvement off pitch.

let’s be honest AK recruitment was very average. He was asked to build a side capable of promotion and fell well short of building that squad IMO. No wonder hierarchy weren’t happy when he wanted to flip his own squad again in Jan

He made about 30 signings and less than half have been good enough.

Fig, Daws, Robbo, Yacob, Lolley, Grabban have been good value
Watson, Guedioura, Hefele, Panti, Soudani haven’t provided value at all
Also the loans he brought in were largely poor - Dias, Goncalves, Janko, Ansarifard

Not sure how much say he had in the Portuguese signings, more of a sounds good I’ll take them. 50% success rate isn’t too bad really, shame on a few injuries have limited some. Probably more you look at the sheerness amount of players and wonder how many were necessary and how many were always likely to become deadwood fast. Perhaps he would’ve been better off relying slightly more heavily on the academy. Also not signing a backup left back was criminal!
