    8 pts from games everyone of us would have taken that but the fact we have kept 3 clean sheets, defence and O'Donnell look solid it does show what can be done when given time to assemble. We still need probably 3 more in but no doubt GB has got the squad United.

    Is that the same Parkinson you thought was clueless when he was here? Doubt Bowyers losing much sleep.

    Very true. I think new younger managers get caught in the trap of trying to play new modern attractive football but if you look at the top sides they do this from a strong solid base. Liverpool had the best defence last season

    I think that was why Devine got hooked at half time, lucky to be still on the pitch.

    No mate Devine was hooked at half time because he was sh@te.

    Palmer was hooked because he was sh@te

    Gibson hooked because he was sh@te.

    When you play a silly formation at home like Bowyer did you need your main midfielder to press high, tough tackling, win the ball. Devine was like a passenger and Palmer just not doing enough.

    Gibson needed to carry the ball, best men as he was meant to be our outlay. He just wasn't good at all.

    Truth is Devine and Gibson are not good enough.

    Not quite. But he needs to sort things out and turn it around quickly, as the pressure will start to build soon

    so, say longridge is fit but not match-fit and he starts and plays poorly - you'd be one of the first on here saying he's not got enough and shouldn't be playing, calling for him to be dropped. if we play 4-4-2, who are your central midfield two?

    Then he gets Harry who lacks pace.

    Our squad looks slower than last year

    Sounds very familiar to last years recruitment when you put it like that.

    doesn't answer the question though does it. people demand 442 but nobody can suggest a central 2 that doesn't get dominated by the opposition at the moment.

    The 442 system is better suited to our squad, and yes we have a weak midfield 2, he continues to play Akpan. He better find at least one before Monday. Otherwise we won’t be looking upwards and promotion that is for sure.

    Pop the list of signings up and I'll let you know which one(s) you're missing.

    He's signed 13 new players, and resigned 2 that were already here so either way, 14 is incorrect.
