...or does the Paul Douglas role need redefining?
There's no denying our success on the field since the arrival of Steve Evans but there's a huge question mark over his selection and handling of players. Nobody can have a 100% success rate with players they bring in but our record is shambolic. If you change the personnel often enough you're bound to strike lucky with one or two but this is a very high cost strategy that negates stability and consistency in team performance.
From the first batch of imports, Sharps, Wilson, Odejayi, Ainsworth etc to the current situation where we have seven players (?) out on loan - unsustainable with a club our size - we've seen a procession of comings and goings seemingly based more on trial and error than sound initial judgement and assessment. We all have opinions as to whether Mullins and Nardiello should have been shown the door but whatever your viewpoint they should not have been released without adequate replacements being lined up. The same
