Disagree. The Championship winning team had a core of quality players with pedigree and a proven-track record: JJOT (16 goals for Bristol Rovers; L1 experience), Rico (proven lower-league goal scorer), Moloney (L1 experience and had played for Forest), Nicky Adams (proven lower league assist king). Later we signed the likes of Collins and Martin on loan.
Recruitment quality matters. By KT’s own admission it wasn’t good enough last year and that’s why we went down. Saying ‘they know a lot more than us so let them get on with it’ is not very helpful. Did you ‘have faith’ in Curle’s recruitment last summer? How did that work out for you? As fans we have the right to scrutinise core processes such as recruitment as it has a massive impact on the quality of the product we pay for. It’s also important that they are held accountable for the promises they make.
Sorry at what point did I say recruitment isn’t crucial??
Last years completely different. I never at any point had any confidence in Curle both on and off the pitch.
Sorry I don’t understand your point?
Just saying there are many players out there that haven’t fully reached their potential or have lost confidence over the years that we can pick up.
You don’t have to have heard of them before!
I’d like to think all players have some ability, they are professional footballers for god sake.
An element of luck you certainly need but the main thing is the players happiness at the club and the feeling of being settled, then you’ll get the best out of them and confidence comes with that.
Just stop the bloody moaning and let’s just get behind the team and the club with what they are doing!
I’m personally very excited and looking forward to the season ahead.
