That's it really. On paper I thought we had a good squad especially with the attacking options. How wrong was I. Bunch of failures. I don't see any of them bar Chuks being good enough for getting anywhere near another league 1 or championship side.

Two managers same problem. No talent

Most of the players haven't performed this season and aren't good enough for us full stop.

The only ones I can genuinely say I would be happy keeping would be Aneke, Gilbey, Nesbitt, Walsh and McGrandles. I wouldn't be too fussed if any of the others left.

There are a players that have shown potential, but again need to improve.

Aneke won't stay.

Getting shot of the garbage we have in the squad at present is not going to happen, we would have to pay them to leave.

But who would take him? He's constantly injured.

It's Karl isn't it?

Rewind to the summer....sounds like a thread we all posted about "who should RN keep, and who should he offload ?" - and even then we only came up with 5 or so names.
Not a criticism of Filthy at all....just more an observation of how depressing it has been with the players over the last year or so. That we are STILL having conversations along the lines of "get rid of them all, apart from a handful."

Is the chairman and his son to blame?

The chairman picked the manager and his son deals with recruitment.

No we have to start blaming the players. I know D50 will be on here defending all of them saying that they are only doing what they are told, but look they are not learning from their mistakes. It its like they just don't really want to play for the club. That's fine, but who is going to buy them when they have a reputation of being so poor. Especially as back in August I thought they were a really good squad on paper. How fucking wrong was I
