? I think losing 14 games out of 18 at the back end of last season is the responsibility of the manager and the team who played those games and probably unrelated to the current transfer policy. Whatever that might be.
Totally agree both need to play in a two up front but not together! That's why I would like to see Bonne get a run of games with Armstrong in a 3-5-2
Unbelievable Oslo. There might be an alternate universe where Johansen had a good game but it certainly wasn't in mine. You can't link up the play by tapping every ball tamely backwards (assuming you haven't dwelt on it too long in the first place and lost it) or continually pointing others back to the keeper just in case they looked like playing an overly ambitious sideways pass. Perhaps there was an edited version on TV as the horror show in the ground was just too awful to show.
It's what all the talk was about in the stands before the Sunderland game. How Warburton and Ferdinand had a falling out and Warbs was basically thrown under the bus. Being up north, I'm not privy to inside info so just sat and listened but none of it sounded good.
We got Gray didn't we, maybe the window before the one you are talking about, who scored goals. I heard a rumour, maybe bollox, that Les wanted to send Gray back to Watford in January because he didn't think his head was with us. Warburton got his way, Gray stayed and if I remember right scored more goals per minute played than anyone else.
