Yeah cos, not having a designated right back, because the toss you brought in were s**te

(Louis Jean and Juergen Colin) was bad enough

What do you do next. That's right, you sign Robert Earnshaw for 3.5m, and get Johansson in for good measure too

Then you don't play them very often (whilst still having that difficult right back position not filled, so you stick Shackell there), then you rely on Carl Bobinson and Andy Hughes to command your midfield

Well deserved pay off. You leave that squad to Grant, Safri Etuhu and Earnshaw bugger off, and s**t really starts

That, is where it started, that's where poisoness atmospheres were already a constant. If packaging up those years as Roeder's fault helps people, then fine

It's just not the whole story
