On reflection I wonder what we all expected with this appointment. To appoint a manager whose peak of achievement was,I believe, 10th and 15th in this division, is the way it’s turning out really a surprise.

What concerns me is that RM is starting to sound like Nathan Jones in his ‘my way or the highway’ approach to his tactics. Reading his Sky post match comments has led me to believe that he was at a different game than me, in my opinion we were pretty clueless. I don’t think Leicester were that good, it was just that they had done their homework and knew exactly how to play against us. Far from delivering promotion this season, unless things change this manager will be fortunate to avoid relegation. I get that it’s early days still, but the way he seems determined to stick to his style of playing, woefully inadequate as it seems at the moment, and would appear to be resistant to change, is concerning.

If most of the squad are internationals they should be playing a whole lot better they currently are. Tactics? Manager? Players still wanting away? Something is badly wrong there.

I do wonder if, perhaps like AA, he isn’t really at premier league level which perhaps only makes him an afterthought buy for the more successful clubs. Perhaps he doesn’t see the point of going to a club which he thinks might struggle this year. His prem stats aren’t exactly earth shattering. https://www.premierleague.com/players/10905/Ché-Adams/stats

Well I did say there are reasons for this not to happen….😎

My son and I were having a discussion awhile back and the subject of a good defensive midfielder came up. We don’t think that Romeu has ever been replaced and we were wondering if perhaps Lyanco could fill that role. He is obviously a stopper, he’s quick and seems to have vision and a bit of flair about him. There are probably quite a few reasons for this not to happen, but we just wondered if it was worth a go.

I do get all the players moving on to better themselves etc comments . I just find it annoying that these players did not turn up for the club last season,did not give 100% effort or commitment, and did not play to the best of their ability. Agreed bad managers and tactics came into it but in my opinion that is still part of the reason why the club got relegated. Those same players will now move on to better wages etc, doesn’t seem right in my book.
