We've a midfield full of tidy players who are comfortable with the ball. Throw in Riedewald and Puncheon. Tomkins and Sahko don't score enough from CB.

McArthur, Wilf and PVA get their fair share but the last looks a liability in defence. Townsend is generally shocking when asked the question and we've not got a fit centre forward worth the name. Where is the attacking / creative quality ?

Roy has to take the can for Sorloth but the rest ?

Sadly think you are right, SP has to be responsible with the rest of the board, RH can only play with the card that he has been dealt. At least half our first team squad, if not more would struggle to hold a place in any progressive team in the championship. Parish, oversees all signings, that his way so he has to take the can. Even on modest budgets, teams seem to progress, just look at Bournemouth, Watford & B&HA they all have Chairman who allow their Managers to manage, something SP does not do, he is a control freak and can't " walk the talk"!

Can you name the other board members as its a joint decision on transfers.
Watford and the Pozzos have gone through more managers than most and you think they allow them to manage!
Results determine peoples opinion, if Lukas free kick had gone in instead of crashing back off the bar, the chances at 2-0 we would of gone on to win.
Anti Parish posts always appear after a defeat, last week after Burnley win nothing. Says a lot about supporters.

'Says a lot about supporters' .....yeap it's a result based business and I as a supporter of close on 56 years have every right to say my bit. So I will turn it round to you; are you happy with how our club is being run with regards to planning, transfer policy and scouting, the first and last could be included within TP. When at the top you take the plaudits and critisism. Performances on the pitch at the moment will produce quite rightly the latter. You have rose tinted spectacles on!!

Bring back Brolin

I actually think I'd like to see Roy prove it is the board/the hand he's been dealt.

Why not just play the next 3 games with Meyer in behind Sorloth, Wilf and Townsend on the wings and just see what happens.

If we win then he's a genius. If he loses even worse than we are now, all the fans will back him and say Sorloth's had 3 games with Wilf and Zaha in their correct positions and still not able to hit a cow's backside then heat will be on Parish.

I actually think Roy has the most football knowledge out of anyone at the club and certainly anyone on this board (shock horror) so if he thinks this 442 with Wilf and Andros is the most likely way for us to win then it almost certainly is.

So he's probably a bit cursed as it must go against everything in him to put out a different 11 just to prove the point he already knows. But football isn't an exact Science, if the ball goes off Sorloth's hand into the net and no one notices, he could go on a run you just can't predict. I think that's where Roy may have to lay faith in football God's, as on paper the best 11 are starting every week.

Never heard such tosh.

Every single one of our first 11 would walk into any championship squad. 5 or 6 of them would walk into most premiership teams outside the top 10.

Then there's our squad players, who are also decent championship level - Punch, Riederwald, Kelly, Ward etc.
