It depends whether MR uses the substitutes wisely

In his last 12 games last season, including the playoffs, Vik scored a penalty against Birmingham and got 2 against QPR. That was it.

And that was just from the moderators

I remember Coventry la la la Coventry la la la to the tune of the Banana Splits

So if he has improved his game 100% in the equivalent minutes of 12 games, just think what he might be like next season.

Swapping and changing the team every game has been part of the reason we are in the bottom 6. The team has to be unchanged unless there are any injury worries.

That's absolutely right. Lots of things can contribute, including the team form.

It's good to see some sensible posts on this. It could be that Haji has been told to keep his shots on target, either that or he may have decided that himself, resulting in him avoiding the corners of the goal, and keeping his shots low. And although it wasn't an assist, the first goal against...

2-0 to us. Haji to score both

Wasn't there quite a bit of interest in Wright and Simms by other clubs before we bought them?

The only problem is, there's nothing to moan about

Strange, because in the summer people were saying we wouldn't even get £10M for him because he only had 1 year left on his contract and could talk to other clubs in January.

Not the manager and recruitment team as well?

I agree with everything in this, but quite honestly some of MR's decisions this year have completely baffled me, and IMO this hasn't helped the situation. The first game of the season we made 3 substitutions in one go, 2 of which were totally untried, when we were well in control of the game. 3...

Which is very similar to how England lined up in the 1966 world cup final IIRC, except they played the system with 2 strikers, and a back 4. With Stiles DM, Charlton AM, and Peters & Ball between them.

I would definitely like to see that, whether MR will play that system is another story.

I think this is part of the problem. Some posters are trying to make comparisons with the likes of Huddersfield, QPR, and Blackburn with teams on a totally different level. We currently don't have to beat Barcelona, RM, and Man city. 7M wouldn't buy them a reserve team player

7 points from the last 3 games is not bad. A draw against Norwich wouldn't be disastrous, giving 8 from 4 games going into the break. Should be OK after that

It's more our injuries that are the problem. We have O'Hare, Allen, Palmer, Sheaf, Eccles, and Kelly still has plenty to offer. One more good signing should be enough when everyone is fit. 4 of those are / have been unavailable

We did concede 3 in 16 minutes from 3-0 up against Swansea last year. That always gives me nightmares
