Re: Fed up
Ramsey and Amdouni are passengers in this team currently. I can’t really criticise Vitinho because he is neither a RB or LB. It’s not his fault he is having to play in these positions and even though he is struggling he gives 100%. I feel for the lad. I agree with this and I felt yesterday he (Viti...

Re: Stability or Tinkering
The problem is not just playing four regular defenders. It's playing four GOOD regular defenders. None of our defenders has proved to be good enough most of the time - none of them. That's why VK has had to bring in two more on loan to try and improve things. Roberts - not good enough and now gone....

No way should Massengo and Benson be on a possible "outgoing" list. I understand why they are, but in my opinion we should be giving them far more of a chance to prove themselves. They can't do any worse than those in the team who have only won three times in over 20 games!!!
