This post is not about lumping all our recent woes at the feet off the strikers as I know our problems are all over the park but it’s just that I cant understand why we sign two foreign forwards when surely in our leagues there are ones who look more capable of handling the rough/tumble of the championship.Last season I was hoping we made approaches for Nahki Wells or Lewis Grabban and maybe we did .The likes of Jerome,Osombalonga,were possibly priced out but there must be lads in the lower leagues worthy of a punt because for me Delort(and I do hope he proves me massively wrong) isn’t up to it and Riera looks a better option albeit the winter months will test that.Fortune may well have been OK yesterday but ultimately does not hit the net.Holt looked a lot leaner and I believe he did well yesterday so what did he do to be totally frozen out by the manager? And why did Mr Whelan not encourage a truce and maybe get some return on his investment ?

And why did Mr Whelan not encourage a truce and maybe get some return on his investment ?I think you raise an important point here MR Brownbill. In other posts everyone (well almost) has thrown the the blame for our woes firmly at the feet of Uve, now then – and this is radical thought – how about our players are just not up to it with the competition around us (not saying we are shit, just not good enough). A few people on here, and in the ground, have remarked that we have one of the best teams in the league on paper. But that’s just it, it is only us who seem to think so – is it proving that ‘on paper’ is the best place to earn your spurs, because it’s not happening on the field.
I concede that the manager does have a big part in this with his team selections, but the lads have to cut the mustard when they are out there too.
