Whilst the current squad has serious short comings I don’t think it needs much to transform it. The biggest requirement in my eyes is a leader on the pitch. Add to this some width and pace and we could see a remarkable transformation. Everyone could see that the squad had issues from the start. Thinking back a lot of us were concerned about how long it took to bring this squad together initially. For me this indicated 2 possible reasons. The first was that JE was unable to attract his first choice players to the club. Therefore some we ended up with could be option B, C or possibly D. The second was that the brakes were possibly put on recruitment due to the arrival of our investors? This would have thrown any plans into disarray and resulted in quick ill thoughtout changes of plan? Many have drew comparisons with the past, but the truth is that the transfer window has added a dynamic that wasn’t there in years gone by. Get recruitment wrong and you have to live with the consequences for half a season, and don’t we know it. Whatever the reasons all I know is we have one more round of business and that’s it, because come May, we’ll be down without some creative recruitment. IMO there is some undoubted talent in this squad, but due to the glaring short comings it is often being asked to play with one leg tied behind its back. The players we bring in need experience, steel and pace. I’ve held off asking for a striker with 20 goals as getting that in January is akin to winning the lottery. Realistically no chance, but with the right players coming in, perhaps not as vital as we think hopefully? This is not the worst squad in terms of talent we have had at the club by a long long way and JFH is not the worst manager. What it is is the most unbalanced illogical squad ever to grace our dressing room. Given the opportunity we had at the start of the season that is scandalous, and it’s unlikely that JE is solely to blame for that.
