He has Fondop, a big unit who was probably the only player earning his corn with 5 in 8. Drops him for a quick dummy merchant who has never scored. And doesn't actually seem that quick as we're playing deep, on the back foot and he isn't getting onto much knocked over the top/through for him. And still hasn't scored. Then tries to sign Matt Smith who's an even bigger, but less mobile, unit than Fondop. Remember when Dominic Cummings nicknamed Boris Johnson "Trolley" on the basis he was like an out of control shopping trolley careering all over the place, bouncing off cars and walls......

Smith can control a ball and head it somewhere near the intended target, which would have made him an upgrade on Fondop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goals are goals and all that, but two of those were against were a side 16th in the Conference North. He's got 3 League goals in 18 this season, and one of those was questionable at best cos I'm still convinced the Eastleigh one was an own goal...

The only thing I could think of was that he pulled up during half time when the rest of the staff were in the dressing room and didn't tell anyone for fear of being seen as Ronaldo like for refusing to come on. Surely someone must have clocked this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then was out for the rest of the season and we went down having played without a striker. His brain isn't exactly his main attribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitching, Rooney Plus loans for Clarke, Peck, Abraham And I haven't seen any signs of improvement under DU so far. In results terms, we've actually gone backwards. So far I haven't seen anything to say he's going to take us where we want to go. I'd like him to turn it around, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect him to improve the current players before he ties more down to contracts. At the moment him leaving before the end of the season looks more likely than seeing out the 3 year deal so signing more players if he's leaving just means the next manager has more to clear out, having to clear out DU and Shez signings.
