i have to agree with NNW, Elixir. The last few matches have seen us dominate for large periods of the game. That's either because we're especially good or everyone else is worse than us. Either way, if we'd scored any of our chances, we'd have 7 points by now. That's the reality.
Good article NNW. I sense GT feels a weight lifted by Bazzas presence. People are looking more to Bazza for answers rather than GT who for a while, to be fair to him, looked like a ships captain but the ship had no rudder. There now appears to be a direction administratively which has the clubs interest aligned with the owners. On the pitch I'd broadly agree with your assessment with the exception on CI. He has the look of another Ellington about him. No one was going to really replace Graham but I do think it was an error to buy a player so different in style and that tactically has changed the way we play. For the worse IMO. CI looks like a 75th minute plan B. Perhaps either by loan or purchase we can get a striker that represents more the style of play we had last year.
The analogy about GT was superb FV. Once he (reluctantly) accepted the chairman role he was willing to step up. But despite Bassini obviously being less of a businessman than Ashcroft (even if Bassini is brilliant, he's not a billionaire who has never gone into administration), his arrival signals the first time that Taylor has been able to have any influence on the biggest shareholder. Taylor's biggest asset is a warm relationship with fans reinforced by a long track record of telling it as it is even if we don't like it. It just so happens to be number one on the list of things that Bassini and his original team lacked. His second biggest asset is a genuine understanding of how to run the football side of the club at a respectable gross profit. That is something that very few others inside or outside of the game can say.
