I know he's trying to make it more fluid and more attacking hence the signings of Aluko and Barrow - both of which I thought were good btw but it isn't working.
It really is a difficult one for me. Sacking Clarke and Adkins and to an extent Rodgers were the right decisions, but I'm still not sure about this time.
I agree the signings were with a more attacking approach in mind - please remember that I don't think his starting 3 would be Aluko/Beerens/Gmac we've just been destroyed by injuries and our failure to get Oliveria.
Even Bodvarsson has been out every other game it seems. (Obviously Stam didn't help himself when he didn't play him and chose to play with no striker)
We've got to keep the faith, at least until Christmas. With Yann coming back and a few more returning from injury we should start to see more of a solid side and I believe a better run of results. Where were we in the table before our last promotion ? I seem to remember we had a shite start to the season then.
@anyone still backing us for a top half finish - PM we can discuss.
At this stage in 2010/11 (play-off final season) we were 8th.
At this stage in 2011/12 (promotion season) we were 16th with 18 points from 14 matches.
If we won our game in hand then we'd be three points off our title winning pace.
A top half finish shouldn't surprise anybody.
A play-off campaign is still achievable but I think it would be fair to say that you'd have to be optimistic to still be backing it.
