Our defence

[toonviking]

Totally agree Rag.

We are suffering from changes, players out / in, players getting past their peak etc. Making more changes, like sacking the manager, would only make it even worse. Its in times like this you need to be stable and stick together. That togetherness, us against the world is exactly what has turned things around, after the dark ages. Plus, after all Eddie has done and achieved - even a relegation fight wouldnt make me calling for his head. Its not even on my radar. Only an idiot (sorry idiots, its not personal) would consider sacking Eddie.

That said, as a toon fan, I reserve the right to went my frusteration towards tactical changes, subs, and so on. When Burn look like Bambi for the fifth game in a row, or Elanga comes on for the last 20 mins, only to lose the ball away - game after game... its our duty as fans to ask questions and critizice - but for me, without the sack talk.

As you say, there is still a lot to play for this season. Its frusterating when you look at the squad on paper, and it looks stronger than last season, but still its not really clicking into gear. Elanga looks like a bad signing now, but look at what Eddie did to Joelinton and many other players - there is still a good chance he can turn into a good player for us. Hes still only 23. When Eddie came here, Joelinton was 25, and one of the worst strikers in the league, but with great physics. The starting point for Elanga should be much better really, when you think about it.

I guess we just have to trust Eddie, the players and the process. Upwards and onwards for 2026!

And if there is one game I would start Elanga, its at OT. I think he would be all fired up, and it could be the perfect turning point for him.

Let the "former players always score against us syndrome" work FOR us, for a change.
