At the start of the season, he gambled on Etete and Martin Sherif, a lad who had never played men's football. Along with Nombe, those two were consistently injured leaving us with literally one fit striker. You might blame that on bad luck but when things like that keep happening, you have to question the manager and his judgement. I understand that budget plays a part in the type of player that we can sign and that we might gamble on certain players (Benson, Tom Holmes) but when you consider that Hamshaw has signed NINETEEN players and that almost every single senior squad member has been injured at some point this season (some 3 or 4 times), then serious questions need to be asked.
There has been no sign of any improvement on the injury front whatsoever. We're in the middle of a relegation battle and have almost our entire midfield injured. It just isn't good enough. I want Hamshaw and his coaching team gone, and they can take Burbeary with them.
I'm not sure I'd even trust Hamshaw with a fully fit squad, but that's another debate.
