Agree vik and Waggers might do well together.they put 1st team regulars in there selection,no wonder 2nd half with our changes the complexion of our game swung to a lower level .

Unfair to blame one man ,from everything I've read and heard it's a team effort of scouting,coaches and biggest say is the manager based on all the above depending on budget.
Nice to see the players getting use to an opposition again looked well rusty better 1st half than 2nd thought bapaga didn't look out of place 2nd half Eccles,borroughs good games both keepers looked iffygood to see Jones 2nd half ,for a defeat not that worried.
