The last thing this club needs is a new manager with all the upheaval that entails. We need stability and continuity and not knee jerk reactions.
I’m not typing this through rose tinted specs as it’s pretty obvious to everybody that we aren’t doing as well as earlier in the season and that away from home we do seem to have a mentality issue.
But, like it or not, it’s no coincidence that we lost all the attacking and creative outlets that meant we scored for fun in the early weeks of the season. Every team would suffer if the whole of their first choice attacking unit was out for weeks/months on end.
Our backup isn’t cutting it because as a club we can’t afford to have expensive and well paid players in reserve.
We have a transfer window starting in a couple of weeks which may or may not freshen things up a bit. We also have the rest of our creativity edging closer to fitness.
Apart from the dimmest of the dim, most of us pencilled this in as a season of consolidation and steadiness. We’re halfway through the season and I reckon most would have taken our league position and points total if they’d been offered it before the Sheffield Wednesday match.
Let’s have a bit of sense and realism.
