It's not obvious at all. Saying itvso many times doesn't make it true.
The upturn in form since Murics inclusion isn't obvious?
Blatantly obvious to anybody I know, he's injected confidence in to the team.

Of course that goes without saying but it’s do or die and we surrender points like that? So frustrating. I get what your saying but I think he's won us more points than he's cost us in his short run. Think it's become pretty obvious had Muric played all season we wouldn't even be close to the releg...

You’re making up crap as you go along, telling me who I like and don’t. I was a staunch defender of Muric last season, I said this season Id like to see him playing over Trafford. The fact is he’s made two awful mistakes at a critical time of the season and without those we might be outside the rel...

Don't know that the latter's the case. We were linked with Quillindschy Hartman last June-July and I was elated at that as a prospect, felt he'd be the better call than Maatsen, but for whatever reason nothing came of the rumour. But it makes me think we did at least have eyes on other players. Qui...

I watched the best bits of Mark Goldbridge's watch-a-long of the Manchester United v Coventry match on YouTube and made a great point regarding the handball.

You don’t think he wanted two full backs? The board did not deliver them. No point speculating on why, just stick to the fact the board did not deliver.
Board didn't deliver or VK pinned all his hopes on Maatsen which backfired?

The move would be a big opportunity for VK and he'd be wise to take it too progress. He gained promotion in style then messed up massively last summer resulting in blowing out budget, leaving us with some players not up to standard and relegation. If BHA take a gamble on him after that then he would...

Real shame we haven’t seen him next to Esteve yet.
Esteve and Beyer with Al Dakhil, McNally, O’Shea and Ekdal is serious quality and depth for the Championship!
Delcroix also who played really well at Spurs in the cup then hasn't had a look in since.
Ekdal and McNally will both be gone though.
