He's had a year to clear up from Worthington
To get rid of the likes of Bobinson, Hughes, Louis Jean, Thorne, Fleming. High earners basically, but he's had to replace them and build a side
That takes longer than a year to do, some clubs do it straight away, and are lucky
Earnshaw leaving was inevitable, though quite how fast the little s**t jumped was a smack in the face. Same with Etuhu for me
Strihavka has scored, but hasn't generally settled, I agree Brown isn't the best, and Cureton isn't the saviour some thought. Basically a partnership and understanding hasn't formed, and until that happens with time, we're lightweight up front
Brellier hasn't settled into the team and was injured early doors (he might still be too, we'll find that out when he starts playing well and the pink un do a piece about him playing through the pain barrier for the last 2 months like none of us haven't noticed), Murray I'm not sure about, I thought he was bought as a centre back but has only played left back
Smith who we're all looking forward to seeing hasn't featured, Dion's filling in the gaps of a difficult start to a difficult season
I didn't expect us to be setting the world a light, I am expecting things to improve.
Grant not picking Strihavka last night doesn't mean he knows f**k all, we were minutes away from a point against a team expecting to be champions on their own patch. It was nearly a good result
