The painful truth is that much of the problems that KR has faced or is continuing to face this season are ones of his own making;
- The naivety of not attempting to replace our best defender, if not best player from last year, all while one of our other central defenders gets ever older
- Signing players like Rob Hall on an extended contract for a reason I’m yet to be able to comprehend, he struggled to start in a L2 squad last season and was facing injury problems of his own too. Struggle to understand the Kelly loan too, he showed last season he wasn’t hugely effective
- Obsessing over the signing of wingers, most of who look to be a downgrade on last years Brown or even Holland
- Continuing to play players out of position regardless of the obvious fragilities of these players in these positions
So as much as the Egg and the rest of the blind positivity brigade might want to conclude our failing are mostly down to an odd set of circumstances this year, coupled with personal issues, I’d have a lot more sympathy for that argument if the above weren’t quite obvious more damning issues.
