Anyone who is impatient or not looking at the bigger picture, needs to take this article on board. We'll said

 

[Dr. Winston]

The churn of managers and the constant shift in footballing philosophy have created a chaotic environment where long-term planning has been replaced by a series of short-term fixes

This.

It's not so much that we've bought nothing but bad players (although some have been) it's that there's been no consistency of approach since Potter left.

GP tried to take us back to the way we'd played on our way up the table with moderate success. Then he was replaced by Cooper, who had a more direct, defensive style. Then he was replaced by Russy and all his bullshit, and as a reaction to that the club did a 180 when appointing Duff, and in a mad panic when that didn't work out did another 180 and gave the job to Russy Mk2.

We have to pick an approach and stick to it again, otherwise we're just going to be signing a succession of players to suit a manager, only to have to discard most of them when the next manager decides to go in a different direction.

very good article and must agree with its content, our squad as a whole is improving and there should be more to come in this window, so as has been said lets give it some time and patience

Lack of quality options on the bench the article says. 3 of those players were ones we signed in the summer to improve our team, plus Cooper and Vipotnik. That bench was half decent.

Half Agree. I would exclude Congreve, Cooper maybe Parker. Other than that, it's a good bench.

Wales is unproven, and VP is hit and miss. The others are unproven. Overall we need more depth across the board
