I don't think many would have predicted that we would have spent just £8 Mill and signed 2 'Loan' players with limited first team experience by the start of the season.

Oh I did. So did Bexleydave and a few others but are viewed as too negative and nobody wants to hear the truth. But this is not the only issue.

Frank is new in the country, League and club, yet has ploughed on with this 3-4-3 with some mind boggling preparation and changes league day 1. Unnecessary unless you're trying make your point to the football world asap and risk it going t1ts up. He's here long term. What's the rush with 3-4-3? Slow down, play to our strengths a bit more, get some points on the board, keep yourself in the job and is in the league.

Only one match gone but I wouldn't experiment regardless for long if I was him.

Perhaps not to the exact detail !

But I can appreciate what you were thinking when others were seduced with stories of us being linked with established overseas players who would have cost a tidy sum in transfer fees and wages.

Still the 'Transfer Window' is still open for a while !

BFS "retired " and put us in a position where we needed a new manager. The board decided that they wanted a change in direction. They wanted to play a more possession game and selected FdB to achieve it. The board are the holders of the purse strings and decide if they are going to release funds in order to purchase the players the manager requires. If we fail to convert to possession football and do not collect ant points there is only one body responsible and that is the booard. They selected the manager and provided the funds to bring in players. If neither were up to it then the fault always rests at the top as a result of poor decision making.
On the other hand as it is very early in the piece we may well find over the next couple of weeks players come in the fortunes of the team turns and we start picking up points and we will all be happy again.
If not the poor decisions of the board will be where the fault lays or if it succeeds where the praise should be directed.

Judging by some on here, he should already be gone, lol.

How many so called "SA Fans" must have thought that if he was on charge on Saturday we wouldn't have suffered an abject 3-0 defeat.
