The answer is not to keep repeating that we didn't do 'Plan A' well enough. IB needs to recognise and learn this, otherwise he will eventually end up in a Curle-like scenario, and that would be to no-one's benefit.
Don't you think we're stuck with the approach we've got for this season? The squad options are pretty limited. What do you have in mind for plan B?
For example, we revert to Rawlo and O'Brien or DKE...they add something but take other things away, without being promotion level players at what they do anyway.
It's a bit bleak, we can only strengthen the squad after the season. For this one, IB's probably better served by sticking to his instincts and principles and seeing where it takes us.
I suspect that's why he sounded so shaky tonight, he knows he's got no other better options for now
