    Let's not forget Gent's woeful contribution. He should be sacked this weekend

    Can't disagree with that. And if I were Rupp I'd sack Sparks before he gets chance to make another managerial mistake.

    Cant get over how tragic the recruitment has been. Imagine if they had a Wrexham style budget? Wouldn't trust the recruitment setup with good money tbf.

    This squad doesn't even make me annoyed when we lose anymore. It's verging on just not caring.

    Abysmal manager. Couldn't take any more after listening to his 'woe is me' shit at the start of his spiel. A massively deluded and arrogant man. Thank God he's gone. If anything, the period since his departure has put how bad he was into sharp focus.

    Or Hughes had first and last say. Hughes said what he wanted, Gent produced a list of available. Hughes picked who he wanted

    I would go with 25. Two sets of 11 with cover for every position, with an extra defender, midfielder and striker. We currently have 30 in the squad. Add onto that 6 out on loan and that is a very costly squad.
    Quality rather than quantity.

    Gent should be sacked for signing all these players that begin with O. None of them are proper footballers and I can’t see how he can watch them and recommend them.

    You would think out of the law of averages he would’ve signed at least one gem

    I don't care enough nowadays, however, did an end of season review happen and who decided and then authorised a change of half the squad? We need to add 6 or 7 quality players to the existing squad ( total of around 23-25 players). Instead we got one good player (Pattison) and an unbalanced squad.

    You only have to look at the starting 11 on Saturday to see just how awful our summer recruitment was. Only one player started that game who wasn't here last season.

    Too right, people have short memories when it suits. Every club in the UK does the same .

    We can’t judge Gent’s role in the MH era until we have seen the players he brought in under the GA era. So far we are seeing a completely different team and tactics.

    Maybe he only had a very thin cheque book?

    Look at what we are seeing. Players who are either not ready or just poor quality. Of course they will accept a thin cheque spread over 3 years. They won’t be here in any event.

    We should have 22 players of better quality. I think Sparks eluded to that in the summer.
