7 of the team who started last night played for us (and won promotion) in the Championship two seasons ago. 2 of the team were playing for other championship clubs last season or the season before.To be fair to him, he is changing things as games go on but it's clear as day that:
a. These players were bought and have been trained to only play one way in one formation. For the last four years. It's difficult to come in as a caretaker and change that at this stage.
b. They're nowhere near good enough to compete with world class players. They're, at best, mid-table championship players, with maybe one or two exceptions.
I don't want him to get the job but I think he's been left in a tight spot with these tossers.
1 of the team was with a Premier Division club but was on loan at a Championship club.
Therein lies the problem.
However, for the bulk of the team they proved they are better than mid Championship. Will say the Championship is a much poorer league than the one we left two years ago.
