It was patently obvious at the start of the season we were at least 2 players short.Whilst we started off o.k it was glaringly obvious the squad was very light.

However Hurst was like a rabbit stuck in the headlights.His failure to address the situation in July was incompetent.What makes you think he will remedy the situation in January?

Started off OK? Glaringly obvious? Can I have the lottery numbers?

Was it?

Can't say I was worried about a lightweight squad when we were winning most weeks and smashing goals in from all areas of the pitch.

Well where are we now?it was quite apparent given one or two injuries we would be struggling and what are we doing?,

Must have missed your warning to Hurst.

The last couple of months have been worrying. We aren't as bad as November/December suggests nor, as it turns out (unless we all had your amazing foresight), are we as good as August/September/October.

A couple of reinforcements should see a 5th/6th place finish.

unfortunately a series of short term results is overshadowing the long term picture. I think most of us were a little worried at the start of the season we were light in some areas despite a large rebuild over the summer and then we have a massive winning streak followed by a large losing streak but if you look at it overall we're 10/2/7 and in playoff mix which I think is where "most" fans would hope us to be before a ball was kicked in anger.

Now I'm not trying to understate our recent bad run of form which need to change sharpish but if the losses had been mixed into the winning streak I think a lot less people would be bemoaning where we are atm.

Think you're what our American cousins refer to as a Monday morning Quarterback. You see everything after the event.

I agree and I don’t think it’s lightweight now. Underperforming, yes, but probably has way more depth than most squads in this division.
