I'm not sure I'm getting onboard the scapegoat bandwagon. Trying to be as objective as I can:
- Left a well established squad, with a clear style of play.
- Left a side with a clear spine to it, well organised.
- Left a long-standing centre back partner.
Comes into:
- Side devoid of any tactical plan, under Selles and subsequently, devoid of any confidence.
- Plays for a side that lack like-for-like replacements and so tire after 60 minutes.
- A side that doesn't know it's best back four and can include 3 relative youngsters in a back four.
- A side who's keeper is shot of confidence and form.
- A side with no clear spine to it, compared to last season and with that, often minimal protection for the back four.
What does he do? Over compensates at times, and switches off at others. Is it surprising?!
