He’d have needed Pickford, Rice and Kane as well.

We have Starbuck, Rose and JB for the RB position. Are we in a position to support 4 RBs?

Eighty five. Yes, he must have missed the first 15.

Although I thought we were better than last week the same problem was clear for all (except AB) to see. He continues to praise the quality of his squad when only the “first 11” and a couple of others are good enough for this league.
Replacements for Evans are the nearest to being satisfactory but weren’t at their best yesterday. Westbrooke looks decent but a step or two down from Ewing. Roberts and Whitehall are simply irreplaceable from our current squad and probably within our current budget. (Disclaimer :- would Whitehall have scored the Carlton goal yesterday? No but he would have affected the game more, we were short of height when defending set pieces, a job Whitehall does well.) Keeper situation well covered elsewhere.
For supposedly one of the the fittest teams in the league the last 5-10 minutes seems to be a big problem, why is that?4 users thanked author for this post.

Crikey he’s an unlucky bloke isn’t he? Or maybe it isn’t bad luck?1 user thanked author for this post.
Andy lives up to the Yorkshire stereotype. A Yorkshireman is never wrong.
If he was a Yorkshire stereotype he wouldn’t need a budget, they don’t like spending money. (Allegedly)

However we were shockingly bad at Solihull last week and were lucky to escape with a point against a very poor team yesterday.
If you can’t handle a bit of criticism with good grace when your team plays poorly it might not be the career for you.I think his problem might be how he sees a performance. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him use the word poor even though fans can see that it is.
“Need to be sharper in both boxes”
“Need to be better through the thirds”
“We weren’t really on it”
But never poor. Nobody wants to see a team b********g in the middle of the pitch but players need to be left in no doubt that what we are currently watching is totally unacceptable before the fans do the talking and walk.1 user thanked author for this post.
Following on from MKI’s post I also think that some of the “important” players have lately been performing way below what we know they are capable of.(No names but they and we know who they are) Could it be a little bit of complacency? “I’ll be in next week anyway”

Saving them for the next game when the game in progress is “won”? (IHO)
I wonder if some of the players are not 100%, but start with the hope that they can last an hour and have the game won. Butler wants his subs to make an impact, today we had Scales, Howe, Dawson & Rose – did they? Did they ****!! The only thing of note was Howe’s failure to put the game to bed.1 user thanked author for this post.
