This assessment is spot on i agree, Managers get it wrong, there is no need for the slagging off he gets as he has got it so right most of the time,

Regarding Bamford, he is playing well without scoring, he badly needs a goal, so why would MB drop him, he may then lose his confidence then where would we be if young Eddie doesnt do it from the start, we are top so no need at the minute,

Maybe they could both play.
Bielsa got a squad that did not so well, so they did very well, for half a season and we failed to get promotion having been in the automatic promotion positions for a large part of the season. So far so ok.

We drop off the edge of a cliff in the last 10 matches if the season and no changes (apart from the disastrous intervention if our gk cum sweeper) are made.

We start this season with three potentially game changing loanees, and we continue to play the two key outfield players who failed to perform last season, using our newcomers in penny number minutes on the field.

"Slagging off"?? Justified criticism, and from many quarters, more like. Surely he (and his supporters) are big enough to take it that he isn't infallible, and maybe needs to adapt, or we die another painful, slow, inescapable death of yet another seasons aspirations?
