Elm Park Kid Having Stam as manager . . . . . . Not replacing the Heineken van with another West Berks Brewery one . . . . Ian Royal. There you go, i've done the joke answers for you. . .
Seriously - I think it was buying Aluko rather than getting a new left back in. Had we bough a left back then we'd have had a pretty fixed defence, Gunter wouldn't have been out of position at any point and Bacuna could have established himself as our DM. Also it seemed like the wingers we were playing at the time were doing a fairly decent job and all this did was send McCleary into a strop.

retro royal Not getting decent coaching staff in for me, Stephen Reid was key last season, and the fact our displays are going from okay at the start of the season to terrible now, suggests something is amiss on the training field.

Hound Obita got injured after the window ended didn't he? In hindsight we've really struggled at LB but if Obita had been fit it wouldn't have been an issue
I think the biggest mistake in hindsight was trusting that Yann would come back and hit the ground running and play as he did last year. So as an extension of that, buying Aluko instead of a CF. And as an extension of that, seemingly having a shopping list of CFs who weren't going to be released by their club
There are/were certainly players we could have got hold of who would have made a massive difference, esp early season when we looked pretty good, but just lacking a CF

Yep good shout, that was the time to do it. Possibly too late now, we just have to put up with it until summer.
savage 4 england Despite the problems with Stam, our squad is full of bang average players.

I was thinking yesterday, if we do go down, I have the feeling that the Gourlay will still want to keep Stam, and see if he can turn it around in League One. Perish the thought, but I can really see that happening.
