And therein lies the problem. People getting excited because we’ve signed some foreigners they’ve never heard of, so they must be good.
Our squad’s paper thin and seriously lacking quality where it matters. Ronald, Eom, Cullen offer very little threat. Vip can blast one in from 30 yards but is otherwise not involved in games. Inoussa and Widell have moments but are inexperienced. We have one RB, one LB and 2 kids covering CB and LB between them. Fulton and a featherweight kid is our midfield backup with Stamenic out.
If we’re honest, we know the players are not up to it at the moment. We know when we have a good player, we’ve seen enough and very few of these make our Championship best 11 of the modern era.
The last owners fkd us. What little money we had was spent on crap, some of which barely played before being loaned out or offloaded. It’s going to take a long time to fix us OR a lot of money/effort (and I’m not convinced we’re in a good place in terms of the leadership team).
We can see the players care and they’re collapsing on the pitch knackered at the end of games because they’ve given everything. It fks me off that fat knackers with 8 pints in them who can’t even be arsed to watch the whole game and can’t walk up the stairs without breaking into a sweat start hurling abuse at them.
We used to be better than this. We used to support the team through thick and thin, but that’s rapidly disappearing.
