Never really quite understand the argument that you can’t blame the manager you can only blame the players .... with allardyce at West Brom that might be plausible , but with the exception of basham these are his players , a team he’s assembled , that he coaches that he motivates and who he picks the starting eleven from . If there was an obvious candidate then I think it’s something we must consider ( sacking him ) . We look lost as a team , lacking in ideas , the midfield is non existent , and by in large I’m struggling to see one good Premier league signing he’s made , the wing backs remain the same , we’ve lost o Connell and have no one to replace him so the only consistent two of the back three remain Egan and basham , berge has been indifferent and Osborn besic Freeman all disappointing , moose has been inconsistent and fair to say mcburnie is mediocre at best , Robinson cast aside , zivkovic hardly played , Brewster underwhelming so far , ramsdale has been poor too , I’m struggling to see one positive signing since promotion , last season was superb but we have been found out , and unfortunately wilders signings have been poor and now tactically we are stuttering , it’s clear to see from the first game that we have no reasonable alternative to o Connell yet we persevere with the likes of Bryan and Robinson who again are not adequate quality , it’s a harsh game being a manager but the rewards are high , his wage will be exceptional and it’s a pressure job , but he isn’t living up to the rewards at the minute
