Re: Getting promoted too early

We didn't get promoted too early. We have completely messed up our recruitment, to follow a venture capitalist approach. Additionally, we have signed far too many wingers and still not replaced Cork. In particular, our ability to defend is hopeless. Also, we are too easily bullied all over the pitch...

Our recruitment is borderline mismanagement when you look at the gaps still in the squad, now we are linked with another winger, I cba with January tbh.
It's worse than that. He's making unnecessary subs just to try and keep a few wingers a bit happy.

Re: Jack Cork’s absence on Saturday

When Jack came on at Everton with just few minutes to go it was greeted with cheers from the Burnley fans that were every bit as pointed as the cheering of Muric every single time he touched the ball. With Muric, it was like that at Forest and at Salford too. That's a shame. The more they do it the...

So no signs of VK experimenting to try and stop teams bullying through our centre midfield. Unbelievable. At least he could have started Cork or Massengo alongside Cullen. He's quickly going from genius to a stubborn fool. Tresor and Berge in cm is as barmy as it gets.

We need a complete reset. Every opposition manager knows that we can't beat a good press AND that we don't have the accurate long passing to go over it.
