We have a pretty long recent history of not bringing players on.

An alternative way to reach an identical conclusion is that the results at the moment are simply dreadful.
There. I didn’t even mention ‘fo……..ns’.3 users thanked author for this post.
That’s the defence which will surely work better than the others, Cass.
Denton however, was better than Kelly last year. In a changed setup – he may still prove to be the excellent LB we witnessed last season.1 user thanked author for this post.
The players who began the season looked the part, Deerey. It probably all hangs on the fact that ‘we wuz sussed’.
So, yes. Pretty sure.1 user thanked author for this post.
Let’s take a step back and view the big picture.
Manager has won 3 games out of 14.
Manager has been losing very regularly to totally inferior opposition – teams cobbled together with: part-timers, ultra low budgets and many with an extremely low fan base etc.
Manager demonstrably struggling to get the best out of what is a decentish squad.
Manager inevitably facing rumours that he has ‘lost the dressing room’.
Manager’s claims that our superior fitness would give us an edge have proved not to be the actual reality.
Manager is overseeing a side whose passing is frequently woeful and which creates space for the opposition.
Manager and a clear majority of fans not in any accord over: the system being played; defending slender leads; on-field positions being filled with ‘unsuitable picks’ etc.
Manager believes that his side has ‘balance’ – most fans apparently do not.
Manager’s weekly rhetoric is oft repeated and fans appear less than convinced.
Manager had a superb start and expected that to continue – most fans were able to spot the weaknesses and did not.
I could go on.
There is a terrible irony here for AB. When (not if) the sacking comes – some lucky manager is going to breeze in and find that he has many good players who only need organising within a system that they like and fully understand to see a huge upturn in fortunes on the pitch.
Even now, at the eleventh hour, AB could rescue himself from the above. All he has to do is show some flexibility.
In my life, I have worked for leaders WITH flexibility and those WITHOUT.
Guess which types create the most success!10 users thanked author for this post.
What has happened to Evans? He was a class act last year.
We are trying to play 3 CBs.
Allegedly, there are 4 on the books. But, in practice, we only have two who are anywhere close to decent.1 user thanked author for this post.
Actually, I am a pretty heavy drug user. I can supply a list of what is currently keeping me alive if anyone is desperate enough to want the facts.

Like it or lump it, it seems that an ultimatum to AB from the board is the only thing which MIGHT kick him back into the reality dimension which he no longer seems to inhabit.
I support his sacking but would very much prefer not to be having to do so.2 users thanked author for this post.
I would guesstimate that 1 in 4 loanees we have signed has been very good for the club; a 2nd is perhaps better than what we had at the time; 3rd is a place filler and the 4th is a waste of space.
