They can't improve us sitting on the bench or worse, still not fit enough to feature for the B Team. The £1.5M we spent on Igamane seems like a waste when our starting 11 is arguably worse than it was last season. So we should just stick them in the team, even if they're not ready? Or judge them after 0 minutes? Or only buy players who are immediately ready to start? And not buy any good prospects? I'm frustrated by it all but you're being unrealistic. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That we should be ready for the start of a season which includes qualifiers to CL and the financial rewards that offers? That's unrealistic? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unrealistic? I think it is, in the circumstances. How do you suggest we should have shifted the deadwood earlier, in order to fund bigger transfers? Pay them off? Threaten their families? We can't get rid of enough players due to poor decisions made by previous management. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't excuse the lack of fitness, lack of structure, lack of playing style....... questionable starting 11s and substations. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew when the CL qualifiers were, not a surprise and once again we've been caught short. .... like we the support knew who our targets were and whether we did not try to get them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutton_blows_goats 4,719 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Not sure what’s worse the starting XI or the options from the bench. How is Lawrence still on? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
