I would say the 'blame' is probably with whoever identifies signings. Over the last 2 or 3 years we've signed players who have not been good enough.
Now we have lots of players in the 8 to 15 mill bracket, and the vast majority are distinctly average.


Spot on.

At least WS realises one of the main problems!

""It's a frustrating one. We've gifted them two goals again. We don't need to play balls inside.

"That's been one of our main points. We need to stop playing that sort of short pass inside, because it's the ideal moment for the opposition to press and we've done it three times.

"We didn't get punished in the first half for doing it. Probably [they are habits the players have got into] but we just need to unlearn that."

This is right
Our signings bar Matty have been awful and then w have sold only to replace with equally awful
That plus playing a back 3 and not playing ppl in their preferred positions
Let’s try a back 4 with a RB and LB being players who are that

Your club now has a losing culture attached to it.


This season is going to be a bit of a wake up call for some.


Sadly I have to agree with you, we will be ok (top 6) but it’s going to take a while for Will to sort this

Yes, exactly that.

RM is not the one "to blame" for yesterday, but it's undeniable that the habits learned under him live on as Will Still is saying. He's talked more than once about how we play too slow, play too many short passes and invite pressure. All of those are straight out of the RM playbook.

I suspect from WS's words that they play the way he wants, with much more tempo in training, but when the pressure is on in matches, they revert back to old habits. It's hardly surprising as most of this team came together under RM and that's how they're used to playing together. It's a human thing to do and difficult for WS to get them to "unlearn" that. The ghost of Rusty lives on.

Will still with a formation and approach play using wingbacks and a backline not good enough for that.

I think he’s right, they keep reverting to Russ football. Particularly Manning yesterday, against Wrexham he beat his man and crossed for the winner yesterday he went back to looping in hopefull balls straight to the keeper too scared to take his man on.

FΓΊcking hilarious kid.
We’ve had Juric and Rusk since Martin.
Brilliant.

To use some now slightly Hackneyed phraseology, Rylan laid the foundations so yes, a lot of the issues (some say most) we now have stem from that. Consequently, the new manager inherited a black hole in our team after eighteen months of Rylan misrule and we can only hope that Still, Will smash the gang like negativity of the squad and build a better team. In short, it’s time for change for the many, not the Jew. Sorry, few.

Or that may all be utter horse shit.

Seeing he’s paid millions to do so I would hope so!
