I would always want us to play in the top division. But I don't think we've got the financial clout to keep up any more. What money we do have we've become very good at squandering on dross. The championship is the natural place for us now.
Looking at the squad I am not sure what we can really do differently. None of them have game changing ability really. There is no alternatives to Hoj or JWP
It's a good development game for them. Gives the youngsters a run out and more goals to build confidence. No danger of losing. Easy training style win. No need to push too hard really.
Very few quality options though. Ings seems to have found form but everyone else is unproven or already shown they aren't good enough.
A bit like at the back I guess. We are mediocre.
Ings needed to put that away. Did everything right but good defending. There is a glimmer of hope but we will concede more. Its pretty much a certainty
Truth here. Money has been spent and squandered on dross. Can't blame the manager for that. And now there isn't any left.
But Ralph hasn't helped with some idiotic decisions either in games gone by.
