Its all Catching Up with us

I'm not going to talk too much about the performance, but today has highlighted the issues with our wafer thin and ageing squad.

There 1-0 down, and can bring 2 Strikers on to change it. We go 2-1 down, we have nothing on the bench to change it.

Our lack of investment in our squad has caught up. We're in trouble theres no doubt.

It is not so much a problem that the players are ageing if they were PL quality players.Defour proved that.We have a razor thin squad with perhaps 3 or 4 PL quality players.Even those 3 or 4 are not stand out players.We do not have a player or players who can change games like Ings or St Maximim.
Today as always it was all long balls and hopeful crosses and we got one goal from a ground pass yet we still persisted in long balls/ crosses against a 5 man defence with our 2 forwards.We had 24 shots against their 10 and only 4 were on target.Brownhills free kick from the edge of the box summed up our standard of shooting.It was laughable.
Our recruitment over the last 3 years has been pathetic and it is like you said it is coming home to roost.
We have now lost 2 games against teams around us from winning positions and we are now in a relegation battle.

CIB, could not have said it better. Total lack of quality in our side it laughable and the owners appear unconcerned. Lets buy some more electric cars for the club, why not!!!!!!!"
