I thank Max for his excellent coverage today. His comments were spot on – not the least of which was that ‘Hill has not gone from good manager to bad overnight’.
‘Could a different manager have made a fist of it?’ – Short answer – no!
(Hackney? – Send him back now.)
The root of the problems are a side which has:
1) No goalscorers.
2) No trickery.
3) No pace.
4) No central defence (Getting money for Manny may have cost us three or four points. But so what?)
5) No midfield leadership.
Loadsa eager young players. Perhaps they should be vilified and we should blame them?
Blame? – I suppose that the blame game is inevitable but to blame undercooked players and a manager not given any chance to change the team by forcing him to bring in leftovers in January is crazy logic.
Mr Swann – if you possess any sort of conscience – hang your head in shame!
