Said in the summer that i'd like to give him to january to see what he does with the squad, but I understood why he was sacked.
Honestly, i'd take Nigel Adkins back in a heartbeat.
For all this talk about Gabbiadinis movement, he's not exactly making himself available or getting on the end of these balls into the box.
Tadic is on the left and Redmond on the right and, shock horror, we actually start to look better.
Van Dijk gave the ball away so cheaply, midfield went awol for the ball coming out of the box and Forster forgetting what a goalkeeper does. F*cking awful.
Passing it back to defence from the right corner flag area is criminal. What are we building from the back for if not those kinds of opportunities? Gabbiadini been poor so far too.
I do agree that Austin would suit our style of play much more than any of our other strikers, but i'm interested to see what Long and Gabbi can do together up top. A lot of good movement in that front line, and Tadic has shown in the past he's capable of picking the killer pass.
