West Brom v Swansea, Sat 29 Nov, 15:00
Vitor Matos has his work cut out to turn our players into winners. At the moment they are feeling sorry for themselves and have lost confidence. It showed clearly second-half after a bright start.
Derby, who had outmuscled us throughout, got a second goal and heads went down. There was no leader on the pitch to cajole the players and that has to be addressed.
The squad we thought was so strong at the beginning of the season, with all those ‘quality’ signings, was just a fallacy.
I hope we can sign a right back as a priority in January as that is our weak side. Whoever and how many players we sign, no more lightweight players please, as it’s demoralising seeing us getting bullied off the ball by big seasoned pros every match.
Turning to Saturday’s match and it’s one of the shorter journeys to West Brom.
We usually have good away support for this match and we need their help to start picking up points again.
We are only two points from the trap-door and it’s becoming crucial to start winning again.
Matos needs to find his best starting eleven and stick with them, none of this rotation nonsense every match because the players are tired. Find the most enthusiastic players in training, see who’s not pulling their weight in matches.
Good luck to the Swans!
