Originally posted by Slimey Toad I hear all the arguments that we are essentially a counter-attacking team, but then what is the motive behind employing such as FDB? Isn't that like asking Placido Domingo to sing the Birdie Song? This is my favourite post - both funny & true. We all knew that FdB was being brought in to rebuild our team and develop the academy. So let's at least give him a reasonable chance to do this. The "wonderful" Pulis & Allardyce both left us in the lurch at the last minute and were also alleged to have been involved in some less than genuine activities. Not people I would want to manage our team or represent our club.

Originally posted by dazza Well this is what a lack of investment does for you we can make as many excuses as we like 3-0 at home to Huddersfield is a total embarrassment. We have to accept that if we want to stay up you have to spend money if not then let's go back to the championship. 2 loans and 8m pound signing just not enough. I really thought bringing in FDB we were going to really back him and allow him to bring the players in that clearly is not the case and I really fear for us this season. A total disgrace. And if we had bought those two loans and spent, maybe £40M, you would still moan? Or would that be enough. How about you just give it a f***ing rest. It was shocking yesterday but it was one game. ONE game! Edited by Kodg (13 Aug 2017 7.53pm)

The time for real worry is if we go 5 games and we are in the mire with abject performances and no points on the board.
