The side selected was 7/8 players short of the previous game! To me, KC had no real intention of winning the game. The subs were all made far too late. Yet KC was not on the touchline yelling instructions; normally you can hear him a mile away. Personally, I think he reacted to players complaining about too little game time. So he stuck all the complainers...with perhaps a simulated result. Of course, this is pure speculation on my part. Agree with most of your comments except the final two para's.
Whatever we may think of Curle he is a manager good enough for the Club, of all the Town managers he is by far the most likely to ensure L1 safety. As for those wishing him out based on personal prejudice and to play 'proper' football I have little respect. I daresay if we had a goal-scoring centre forward KC would revert to some form of hoofing in a flash.
I've told you before, leave the cooking sherry till the weekend.
