Not the sole reason but a major contributing factor, just simply doesn’t save enough shots, I’m convinced if we’d have signed Darlow we’d have been having a different conversation but alas we didn’t and got stuck with one of Rosie’s lost boys who he insisted to play despite bringing in a young expensive keeper from Europe who statistically is ahead of Allsop in every single metric bar anticipation which is only one point less. (This is data backed from the last two seasons on sofascore of which I am aware that Pandur played elsewhere and it could be an argument that lacks some merit based on that but does back up the eye test that Allsop failed disastrously)

I agree regarding Allsop. The stats are damning, even if they don’t tell the full story, but the eye test alone from watching us this season shows he just can’t save for ****. One of the worst shot-stoppers I’ve seen for City.

Problem is based on everything I’ve watched and read about Walter. Unless he’s explicitly told not to play him I can see Allsop getting game time

We got good players in but did we improve the squad? That’s debatable.

Pandur, Ohio and Sharp for varying reasons didn’t bring much to the table. Appreciate the former 2 may be down to bad management but who knows.

it’s a load of nice names that didn’t gel in time. That’s not necessarily on Rosenior. If these transfers had been done in the summer I think the argument of not improving could be made

I think Ohio brought something to the table. Three important goals that, by his own reckoning, earned us seven points.


Long term I don't think he's the answer but as a punt I think he probably paid off.


Pandur was never shown where the table was and Sharp basically ate all the burgers whilst pointing at a manky, out of date bag of rocket, saying 'I brought that if anyone wants it', between mouthfuls.

If the price was right I’d punt on Ohio. He’s got all the physical capabilities and he certainly seems to have a finishers eye. It’s the bits inbetween he’s a bit raw in like hold up play and so on but we won’t ever get the finished article at this level

Pandur is going to get his chance most likely. Up to him to take it.

I suspect Sharp was brought in with a view to merge into the coaching staff in the future but alas that’s not happening either

I’ll never get this argument. We didn’t get worse. We stayed about the same. We earned 1.5 points per game from season start to Jan 31st then from Feb 1st to season end we were on 1.55 points per game.

In reality what ****ed us was the period in December to Jan when were on our arse with injuries. Which happens sometimes.

Others around us improved and we didn’t catch up. Not to mention the supposed “top talent” only one produced regularly with goals and assists. I like Omur but he has yet to get himself on the scoresheet.

I seem to remember people saying that it looked like no one wanted promotion when all those in the play off places hit a bit of poor form.

Depends entirely on how a manager is going to set up on how worthwhile Ohio might be. Doesn’t suit possession football at all IMO but play him like Niasse and use him as a battering ram I think he’d be a bit of a beast. Big strong fast striker charging at defenders always causes panic and problems.

Fabio - brilliant player who we say the best of

Giles - looked good at the start, got injured then suddenly didn’t look the same

Zaroury - Flashed at points but lacked consistency, then got injured

Omur - cracking player. Didn’t get a goal or assist but contributed in other areas

Omur crossed the valley for Greaves to head the winner at Huddersfield so there's one assist without even checking
 
Saw a tweet linking us with Bryan Reynolds again. He was that right-back we were linked with last summer when he was still at Roma. Ended up at Westerlo last summer.

Both Westerlo in Belgium and Fortuna Sittard in the Netherlands have Turkish owners and I imagine Acun has a working relationship with both since we sold Allahyar to Westerlo and bought Pandur from Fortuna Sittard.
