We've gone from mid to lower table hopefuls punching above our weight for the first part of the season who looked like there may be some sort of game plan happening - even if it was an artefact of last season's plan - to being nailed on favourites for the spoon with a coach whose best tactics are telling his players to park the bus which almost cost us the draw because if there's one thing we've show in recent games is we aren't any good at parking the f*cker, there's too many holes at the back when we go defensive mode, we may as well kick the ball in the net for the other team and be done with it.
I'm starting to worry putting a numpty like Deans in charge was a guarantee for failure and excuse to sell the licence to a new franchise, his brand of football is already turning the punters away slowly but surely, were they anticipating he couldn't do it so it would make their job easier to pull the plug?
