    Bit bemused myself. I had personally never watched him play before but from what I had read, I certainly expected more from him. As it is, I think Campbell -despite being more naturally a central defender-is better at RB. Also, if Gilchrist was a decent central midfielder at Chelsea, how come he hasn't had his chance to play in that position for us with Mowatt being out?

    Recent acquisitions have all supposedly been brought in because they have been said to fit a particular game model we want to play but I see scant evidence of that working out!

    You are correct Omeg, Campbell has been decent at right back but Gilchrist and Taylor have been poor. Bany, cannot be judged and Illin-Junior did not set the world on fire. I feel that both Mepham and Phillips were OK under Mason and I still think that Griffiths should be first choice over O Leary.

    In conclusion I would say that the new acquisitions fitted Masons model far better than Ramsay and there lies the problem. As I have stated before, under Mason we were always in games but that is not the case now. Ramsay has to change or we get rid!
