+1If I had a Michael Bridges for every time I have heard this line... I'd have too many Bridges then bench spots.
Why are we constantly needing to turn things around, shouldn't our game breaking, creative mid who's apparently bashing the door down for more minutes / a starting spot already be contributing to turning things around. Maybe just maybe it's because this club has not only reached new lows as far a player recruitment and output but they have gladly accepted this depressing level of mediocrity.
FFS our ambition is measured by our desire to finish in the lowest 45% of our league...really is that it.
Why have we not recruited better visa players, why have we not got adequate cover for our right & left backs why have we not even got an actual left back on our books, why does this club insist on playing players out of position, why is a 35 yr old retiree seen as our only "impact" player ( & when exactly is he going to start producing this impact on games), why don't consistent youth performances warrant rewards, why are we so incompetent when it comes to transfers, why is it still a case of jobs for the boys, why are essentially rookie coaches being thrown to the wolves, where is the overall strategy, where is the structures' professional club we were told we were going to get.... but hey lets not ask questions, people might take offence at one of them. Let's not strive for anything greater then watching under performing players demand they want extra minutes, cause they are nice blokes or can do an occasional back heel or can camp around the corner flag on command.
Bridges is not the sole problem, but he is ticking a hell of a lot of my boxes of grievances with how the club is being run at the moment and I'm not just going to sit in the corner and pretend its not happening.
What he said.
