With a lot of that best squad you refer to being injured for large parts of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the sort of situation they need to cope with. CC's managerial record suggests he doesn't cope well with pressure/expectation.

We have one of the biggest squads in the league and a lot has been spent on it. It's not a good enough excuse anymore and highlights how bad in hindsight our recruitment strategy has been. Semedo should be nowhere near the bench - says it all. Under Gray we finished top 10 with a mediocre squad and very little investment. That excuse would have been justified then, not now.

Problem is, that argument doesn't live up when we have the largest squad in the division. You look at the names on the team sheet today and compare it to the other starting XI teams in the playoffs. Even with "lots of the squad" being injured, you should still say we're a team that should be in the play-offs with that side. Makes it even more damning that we're struggling in recent weeks as we have been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One win in 7 after a lot of money spent and a good season last year. Id say the fans have a right to be annoyed.

Well said, if you dare ask upwards of 40 quid for Newcastle 36 for reading etc etc you sure as hell cant blame the fans for expecting the manager to at least have a clue what he's doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another " so called fans remark " We are fans because we care about what's happened to the side under the so called manager's reign this season. If you can't see there's something drastically wrong at the club, then heaven help you. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying lay into them on radio I mean off the field and wonder if that's now affecting performances I know what you mean but in all honesty we have no idea do we. I always got that feeling with Brian Laws, too nice to really ever lay into players. Not sure with Carlos. And with someone like Bullen on the staff I can see him being a strong voice.
