It would be easy to see Leicester why we won't finish above Fulham or Bournemouth when you look at the riches/investment in their squads!!! Where is our Mitrovic? No one close since Gayle left and that's one player!
Why did you expect us to perform in a higher level than we have when we are third - Bartley, Ajayi, Phillips, Robinson, Livermore, Hugill and very average championship players at best! Grant and Diangana at 32 million a pop turn up sometimes but not frequently! Not one player including Johnstone in my eyes is Premier class! We sold our only class player ( Pereira ) and zero was invested!
Mowatt is our best player and where did he come from! Don't get why your expectations of these players are a higher level! My expectation mirrors the quality of the players - top six at best!! Don't forget this too is the weakest championship for years!
You reap what you sow in life! Brentford are where they are because of a passionate owner who invests - fantastic recruitment and a new up to-date Stadium! Compared to Brentford we are in decline!! Do you honestly think we would give Brentford a match now?
I don't!!
Don't get me wrong Val is not perfect but nobody better would come to us unless deluded! I hated Dowling but he was never replaced even and a fat chinese chap called Ken is now calling the shots and Lai's puppet!
Whilst I hated Dowling - I bet it's a life changing act to get out of a business/club that's rotten to the core!
Sadly, I have accepted what we have become under Lai! Shame others don't and still expect automatic promotion with a rag tag team! What if we do get promoted? Do you honestly think we would do any better than last season with Pereira, Okay, Gallagher, Diange to name but a few!
Some mention Snodgrass - the guy sadly is a relic now and soon will be out for another 3 months! As our expectations sunk to the bottom of the ocean with people shouting for Snodgrass FFS! Why not ask Lee Hughes to polish his boots as he's still around!
