It's just like you said mate... Certain combinations click at certain times.
At the moment, nothing is gelling for us. I would love it if we could just get a little of traction for the remainder of the games.
It’s no coincidence that, after our flying start, any wins we HAVE managed have tended to be squeakers by the odd goal.
When we had a firing first XI we were on fire. When we had knackered FBs we played the wall and kept clean sheets galore, relying on nicking a goal to win. But yeah, our manager plays the same tactics week in, week out...
We have a very good first XI, good CB cover, a couple of promising, raw FB talents, arguably Davies and Sigurdsson are fit for purpose as squad cover and that’s your lot, and yet people don’t get why we aren’t maintaining a top 4 challenge.
With a VERY good window we could maybe end up with 15-16 very good players and be well on our way to a squad we could call worthy of a European push. It is inescapable fact that the Koeman/Walsh era buckled us as far as our quality and our available finances to rectify the problem. Anyone who thinks we’ve peddled out this excuse for too long needs to have a look at some of the names still taking a massive wage from us.
