I like LR but think the points about inexperience and niavety are very valid, and do sometimes think he talks himself up a bit too much, perhaps without really realising. That being said, I think people are being a tad harsh - we finished 15th last year, and if we're being honest, don't necessarily have the same appeal as other clubs in a similar position who either have a bigger following historically or are more appealing geographically.
Oscar scores goals, but we look noticeably better with Delap upfront. Twine and Philogene are exciting additions, Lokilo was a cheap punt as it's fairly clear Longman and Allyhar aren't up to the level, or at least not in LR's eyes. Connelly has started well and clearly gives us a threat running the other way. Left-back may or may not work, but has pedigree.
Agree with many about the lack of athleticism/legs/battler in midfield. Also agree the keeper is a tad underwhelming. Worth saying I also have no idea what's gone on behind the scenes and how much of our business has gone to plan. I think it's very possible LR's manner, coupled with his inexperience, has led some potential targets to pursue other options.
Before Davies opted to go elsewhere, many neutrals on Twitter were throwing our name about for the most impressive championship window. I don't think that's the case, but I also don't think it's the piss poor window many are making it out to be. Fingers crossed things go our way today.
