You tend to get what you pay for. As well as being project players they were also all very cheap.Its a gamble. Some have paid off at that sort of level - Saka/Thomas. Worth having a punt sometimes.
Presumably we’ll be pushing for King to include a clause in any Piroe deal that if he doesn’t score immediately or be seen to be bullying centre halves he can go straight back.
One thing the coaches need to get a grip on and quickly is this ridiculous habit of trying to buy free kicks. It often puts us right on the back foot or stops a useful attack. It’s all the time with some
It’s more about squad balance. When BTA is back (Jan) where does Piroe play? If he does play what happens to the squad dynamic. I’m sure we have plans elsewhere which I would prioritise.
The championship is an utter dogfight. To be where we are without parachute payments is nothing short of a miracle. Its never going to be a cakewalk which is why the complete toys out of pram for a point away at Charlton was so bizarre.
He didn’t get pesters. Still doesn’t, even though he was at fault for both Ipswich goals. Wright got all the shit for playing whilst obviously injured.
The guy made a mistake. It happens. He’s being hung out to dry on here. But the wider context is we were well under the cosh when he came on. He’s to blame for their equaliser. But we’re a small, tired, ill squad - that’s the real issue.
