Fair. I think a rebuild is needed anyway. I’d sell the silver again this summer and do a proper clear out.
I'd imagine he's not on a cheap salary though. That would've been his second contract extension since arriving at the club, plus a promotion.
For someone that's likely to be potentially third choice not sure how cost-effective keeping him on the books is.
It’s a bit drastic. Not many neutrals would agree with that view at all.Fair. I think a rebuild is needed anyway. I’d sell the silver again this summer and do a proper clear out.

It’s best to go off the assumption the coaching hasn’t been where it’s needed to be. Now there’s a new setup, a bit of time with the players to show that they’re up to the level required.
Leadership is the bedrock of any squad and we need to rebuild a strong leadership core that we had in the L1 and early Championship days.
I don’t think our glorious leader will sanction another rebuild seeing as we’ve got one of the next decks we’ve ever had.I think MvE and Sheaf will be off bare minimum. Wright I wouldn’t be surprised to see push for a move and maybe Simms too. Wilson Bidwell Allen and Tavares are OOC and I’d cut our losses on BTA, Dasilva, Kitching and Collins. Start with:
Dovin
Thomas, Binks, Lats
Eccles, Torp, Rudoni
Saka, EMC
Bassette
That’s 10, you’d need at least another 10-12 in I think.

Do people genuinely think our league position is representative of the quality of our squad?
I think we easily have a top 10 squad. Honestly confused at some of the opinions on here.
True but we’ve been unlucky with how many goals we’ve conceded. And we’ve really struggled to control games. I think our problems are more tactical than individual quality.It isn't, but our league position is representative of our dire defensive record. The second most goals conceded at home in the division, that is completely unsustainable.
Are we?
We're almost halfway through the season. Lost too and not beaten some utter shite
Players look not arsed
No change in urgency of them from Robins, to Carr, to today with Lampard
None of them have taken the bull by the horns, not one of them has tried to gee up the others, not one of them has raised their game, not one of them has ran themselves into the ground to show they're worth the shirt
Today was the first time I felt concerned about the R Word
This is more than a management issue
This is £45 million pissed away on not to the level players
If we bring in a DoF, I think there’s a good chance he’ll be gone. Not sure there’d then be many pre-King staff members left then.I think our recruitment is absolutely diabolical. We have a lot of players that I wouldn’t want on a free transfer never mind paying money for - Kitching, Dovin, Collins and Asante.
Dean Austin should be next on the chopping block.

Dovin is an international at U17, U19, U21, and full. He just needs a proper chance.I think after Christmas we will know where we stand but for me our most realistic aim is a mid table finish.

The fella you are speaking to likes to make grand overegged statements, it's his think.Dovin is an international at U17, U19, U21, and full. He just needs a proper chance.
For me as well King shouldn’t be negotiating transfers either. The EMC one being a case in point.Never thought I’d say the words but with this set up we need a DOF. Austin has made a mess of recruitment and DK doesn’t have any football background to be deciding which players we need.

Sunderland and Cardiff scored 4 goals against us from a total of 1.4 xg. We’re either unlucky or Collins is crap. Probably a bit of both.I can't buy that reason. Sunderland and Cardiff have scored from long range but did we even try to close the shot-taker down?
That, and tracking opposition runners, is basic defending.
Watched highlights back today their first goal number 11 was offside and blocking Collins view.
We pull all 11 back and they had 6 in our box and yet no one marked their scorer and 2 other players Rudoni was too busy having a wrestling match to know were the ball was.We had Binks, Sheaf, Latibeauiere, and Eccles picking up no one,Bassette was neither on the post or doing any marking aswell. The second Binks slow at getting to block a perfectly placed shot There's enough for FL to begin with.
How will you take it if Austin is appointed DoF and he gets to choose who replaces him as Head of Recruitment.Never thought I’d say the words but with this set up we need a DOF. Austin has made a mess of recruitment and DK doesn’t have any football background to be deciding which players we need.
Low bar I know but the Cardiff comms said Sheaf was the best player on the pitch
Well if it is that, that is rectifiable and can be fixed relatively easily.I can't buy that reason. Sunderland and Cardiff have scored from long range but did we even try to close the shot-taker down?

He's 22. That's really young for a keeper. He's been brought in with the future in mind.Dovin is a decent keeper. its whats in front of him making him look worse than he is. you could say the same for all 3 keepers (aside Collins who has butter fingers it seems)
