Too easy to play against...the same old problems.

I don't see any change...mark my words.

I have said it time and time again until I am blue in the ****ing face

Different manager...same issues and he can't see it!!!
A lot of that would make sense if the new manager hadn't arrived only one week ago and since then has brought in a central defender that he knows well from former club(s).

If you are going to criticise and point the finger of blame then at least aim it at the recruitment team for identifying and signing a striking partnership from Gateshead that presumably LW knew nothing about and including one that was signed well before the new head coach arrived.

It's well documented and most but clearly not all fans are now aware how the recruitment works at the club.

Agree with you and many that we are far too nice to play against, need more steel as we have plenty of silk,.and desperately require or more combative and strong central midfield.
