Carlos’s style of play is quite good but like all systems, it doesn’t work all of the time. From his antics and gesticulations on the touchline, it would appear that the players are deviating from his plans. Those plans will work best with our first choice players and the squad has been badly hit by injuries and the backup players are not quite good enough to play that way. Yes, a plan B would be good but some of them probably are not good at that, either! Also, we are not the only club faltering in this way, that is why we are still only five points off a playoff place.

Anyway, Carlos has probably saved us from League One this season but with the state of the finances and with Lai still as the owner, it may well have only delayed that relegation by one season!
