    I know citing Mitro agitates some folk but whilst he did not fit into Rafa's style, that, to date, has not really proved that successful, whilst Mitro has. Sometimes putting the horse in front of the cart can work! No point in playing well if you cannot score or hold onto a result or get beaten but were (unlucky)!

    All we can do is keep the faith but also rely on a wing and a prayer!!

    Rafa has had the opportunity to mix up the team but seems set or fixated on a line up that is not gelling. Not really sure what to expect nor do I think the January window will resolve our dilemma. (I know it's Ashley etc but that aside)
    Smells fishy .. Nowt to do with style of play .. Whatever that is .. He fell out with Rafa and was sold .
    Looking more and more like a ridiculous decision .

    Certainly even before the season began, most folk would have chosen Mitro over Joselu if you had to choose one...and that's without the hindsight of our lack of goals and his 5 so far.

    Unfortunately all we've got to go on are unsubstantiated reports of him being a poor trainer and the evidence of our own eyes when he did get the chance to play. The jury was out, for me-but his international record and the fact that he's still relatively young and still learning meant that maybe, given our existing options, he should have been given another chance.
