Far too much emphasis is being placed by the media on players coming back from injury. All we're hearing from Wol and other sources is about the "sick list" of Adams, Colwill, Zak Davies and even the comeback of Sean Morrison etc as though they are going to make a fundamental difference to the club's fortunes. It seems to me the club is riding along with the notion as an escape route from the reality of it all.
FFS, apart from those unavailable through injury, we have 26 other fit players in the first team squad from whom to pick a decent team capable of winning games at this level. The current evidence is a damning indictment on the management of those we do have available. There's more than enough ability to do a job at this level to have us in a comfortable mid table spot but it's just not happening.
Anybody waiting for a few Christmas boxes from uncle Vince to be opened in January are in for a dissappointment - money alone is not going to change it. I like Mark Hudson as a player and much prefer him to Morison as a person, but have serious reservations about his management skills.
I maybe picking exceptional examples, but I'm old enough to remember the like of Revie, Shankly and Clough who "managed" their sides. Having all the "badges" isn't always the answer in management - I feel we need someone in who'll get a grip and shake the tree.
I don't see any evidence that it's going to change short term even with a zero sick list. If we're anywhere near where we are now going into the New Year, without a change at the top, we'll be in serious danger of League One football next season.
