    Or alternatively we could try and go out and buy better quality than both. Why you think bellusci's return would catapult us to top six after his previous seasons and our league position finishes is anybody's guess. For me that been our main problem, we change the personnel but not the quality.

    Wonder if Monk is brave enough to bench Wood....

    It's a big call!

    We dilute the quality. But I take ur point. We are not building we are dismantling due to the budget put in place.

    Chippy, yep that's what I mean is; swapping bamba fo bellusci, green for silvestri won't change where we finish, it's changing average with more average, need better than all of them if we're serious about promotion.

    Just pushed one out and it exited from the same place as yesterday.
    You need to replace the maggot with a dry fly.

    It is... He needs to be dropped altogether as does green. Turnbull and double barrel to play and be sub.

    Fair enough, seems logical to me, if you're unhappy with the way the club is being run, you tend to blame the person running it.

    But to play Antonnson and Roofe together would mean 4-4-2 and I ask (in general) again, did Wood miss sitters yesterday or was he not supplied with any quality balls?

    I'm not saying Wood is going to suddenly change and be Messi, just asking if dropping him would change anything.

    We have still conceded 5 in two games.

    I didn't see the Birmingham game but the QPR match was one of the worst I have seen, we had 11 problems on that day.

    We have spent the whole of (the short) preseason preparing for 4-2-3-1 with signings to fit that system and after two games we have gone 4-4-2 which sounded like it was a train wreck.

    At 2-3-1 we have the players to make it work, or we should have. If they are not good enough then the signings were poor. Antonnson and Roofe up front means nothing other than 4-4-2 and I don't believe that is the way forward.

    Cellino and Monk knew what we had with Wood, if he ain't good enough for 4-2-3-1 we should have addressed it. Why plan and arrange everything around him as a loan striker if you're not going to make it work.

    I would prefer a 4 in defence rather than just dropping them all and not replacing them.
    We were 9% better yesterday only 10 players were a complete embarrassment.

    I'm gutted to be honest, before the QPR game Roofe, Antonnson, Sacko and Wood on paper looked far stronger to me than previous seasons. I even made a post stating how many goals I could see them getting.

    I can't help thinking a proper preseason might have made a world of difference but we will never know. Monk chopping and changing worries the hell out of me and rumours in the press today.... Cellino has supposedly spoken out against Bamba and his lack of captaincy skills stating he will find us a new CB and captain.

    Now we might all agree with that but IF true what message does it send out to the players and how does if affect the respect they should have for Monk.
