This year we have a bigger budget better resources than ever and more been put into the science side of the game...

BUT we look a poorer team with an argument that we have a couple of stronger individuals.  It's been a good few months for the team to show what they can do and honestly I'm not too impressed,  we definitely don't looks as good as last year as a team on the pitch despite the playing budget being increased quite a bit.

Paul Hurst is a good manager and has been for us , I'd like to think every town fan respects him but we are definitely not showing too much on a match day.  I'm not to the stage of Hurst going as he's earned the right at our club to be given time and respect for what he's done for us but things need to pick up imo.

Something is not quite right atm and whether it's the quality he's bought in isn't quite what he thought it was I'm not sure but he has some searching to do in the dressing room.

The manager seems to agree with you going by the post match interview.  To be honest it has been obvious for several weeks but for their own reasons some on here wanted to shout down anybody saying what they could see with their own eyes.

At least now we can all agree something is not right, the players we signed are not performing so now the attention turns to what we are going to do about it.

It is Hurst and the coaching teams job to do something about it, and they have got two and a half months to work with these players till the next window to see if they can mould them into a cohesive and hopefully an attacking and entertaining unit.

We have a large squad but nobody who regularly scores. So if we don't have a rock solid defence it's pretty obvious we'll struggle to challenge.

Our three new strikers have all been hampered by injuries and we haven't been able to play them together. If we could keep them all fit and playing regularly then we might have the goal threat we've all been craving

We don’t have a large squad. With no loans permitted outside the window, this is the main issue for me. We’ve suffered a combination of injuries, loss of form and older players perhaps not quite as good or able to last the pace. We don’t have the quality to bring and our younger prospects, Bramwell and Gardner, aren’t quite ready (otherwise presumably they would be picked for league games on the bench).

Wonder if anything’ll happen with the lad Murphy at Newcastle as rumoured in the summer? 4 games for their u21s this season, not been in the squad for their EFL Trophy games & nowhere near the first team squad from what I can see.

Regular but not impressive. We need somebody who is impressive. How many on here are impressed. I am depressed.

Almost as many times as we've had 3 fit strikers available. (Yes, I agree that only having 3 strikers on the books at the moment is a problem)
