Seems strange to talk about Tufan in that vane, not that I disagree with you, but it seems that the management team do. Since Ozan, who along with Omur, is one of my favorite players, assuming he starts, is one of the first players to be pulled in the second half. Yesterday it happened again, not that he was having a great game, but he seemed to be having a better game than Caravallo.
Whoever we bring in this summer, Ideally it needs to be before preseason. We saw with bring Omur/Carvalho/Zaroury in January they took time to gel.
I think we'll do things relatively quickly as we should know who's going and staying by now. Last season it was a bit of a fire sale and weren't sure what we'd end up with. We know we'll need a CB, LB, CM, RW and ST of first team quality and we have known that for about 6 months. We should have some indication of outgoing funds from Greaves, Oscar and wages from out of contract players.
Plymouth were fighting for their lives and played well, give them some credit. Leicester lost to Blackburn and QPR but they were still the best team in the League, no team wins every game.
I know but the common belief is/was that we struggled against teams who Sat back and defended, we were better against teams who played attacking football in a more open game. Plymouth were out to win, they had to. It should have been our sort of game, but it turned out to yet another of those games Rosie said we would never see again.
I'm sure the club would like things to be done relatively quickly, but it rarely if ever happens in practice. We can dream that it will be different this time. You are under estimating what we need to bring in, even when just talking of 'first team quality'. For example, we don't have even one striker of first team quality left in the club!! (It's not being negative, it's just reality).
We were just a bit ****. It happens. Don't recall Rosenior promising we wouldn't ever play poorly again.
We never got going on Saturday. Credit Plymouth for their desire and hard work - they deserved the win - but our passing game was uninspired and we were back to creating knack all. All the loanees were playing like it didn’t matter and that leaves us very short on creativity. Seri and Tufan were trying to create but Philogene has been out of form for a while now. It just wasn’t happening. Delap looked lethargic; Ohio looked worse. Bringing Billy Sharp on to try to win the game says it all. Basically no chance. Disappointing but it didn’t matter anyway. What the management team need to do now is work out how to kick on from the highlights of this season. I’d say the first conundrum is how to get points in the games where you’re the second best team and how to win close even games. You start with a genuine striker who’ll nick a goal for you. (Billy Sharp in his prime), because we haven’t got one.
Some one posted on twitter, since we beat Southampton on the 20th Feb and moved into 6th, in the 13 games since we won only 3, that’s ****ing shocking really, piss poor management, still if in his 4th/5th transfer window the might buy a proper striker and we might score a few, but no doubt be more midfielders and a brace of goalies.
They've got loads out of contract, and chansiri has said he doesn't want to invest any more. One of the play off teams will bin their manager off and rohl will move. Weds will be tragic, thankfully, once more next year
It's happened on quite a few occasions, and I may not have Rosie down word for word but he has said such a poor performance won't be seen again.

Slater crunches into that fifty fifty in the first few minutes and it sets the whole tone of the game and gets us on the front foot he completely bottled it the tart
agree, they wanted it far more, they didnt pull out of anything, they were prob sore as **** next morning and not just from the copious alcohol
