Trouble with Maloney is he’s spent too much time playing under Martinez; who started this tippy tappy one up front nonsense.
He (Bobby) when he first arrived, was trying to play Champions League football, with Championship players, on a non-league pitch. Everyone except him could see it didn’t work.
Fast forward 15 years we’ve got his disciple trying to play Champions League football, with non-league players on a Championship pitch.
Verdict? Well the pitch is better than it was 15 years ago.
It’s early in the season for the cliches, but Saturday is already a must win game. Or at the very least, a much more attacking intent. Maloney will lose the crowd very soon otherwise. Sad, but inevitable without a change of direction.
