Words fail me. Five straight defeats in all competitions. OK, we all saw this one coming. But when Alfie May equalised hope was briefly revived...
Both goals conceded were poor defensively according to Brownie and Curbs. No surprise there, there's always a mistake waiting to happen with our defense.
We will ruin the confidence of our youngsters if this continues. That plus the inevitable injuries to our already injury prone squad will see us in the relegation places before too long.
What can Holden do now? The team is too young, but Kirk McGrandles and DJ are dead weight. He won't play them, so they're hanging around like a bad smell, and until they move on he can't bring anyone in. The biggest disappointment for me is Michael Hector who was expected to be the leader at the back bringing on the kids, buit it ain't happening.
Depends what he was promised. If he was promised 4/5 top players plus EPL loans then he should walk as he’s been lied to. If he wasn’t and he’s just part of the con, then he’ll hang around for the relegation battle and carry on raking in his salary until he gets sacked and then he can enjoy the payoff rather than the playoff. Let’s see where we are at Christmas.
Maybe they are, it would explain why our youngsters are in the shop window. But Holden doesn't strike me that way.
Put it this way, I think his appointment was from the saying 'it's not what you know but who you know'.
