Well then

Squad capable of at the very least making the play offs. Players such as:

Reda
Hines
Pugh
Fleck
O'Brien
Swanson
Coulibaly
Nouble
Jackson
McQuoid

Could all be playing for top 6 teams. Fact is Pressley is just an idiot, a nice idiot but an idiot all the same. He comes to a team that have been used to a 4-2-3-1 under the previous management (Super Mark Robins) and with his history of playing 4-2-3-1 at Falkirk you'd think he'd see this and continue on with its success. However due to having two strikers (that are of the same level) he goes 4-4-2 (FOR THAT FACT ALONE). It works momentarily as the strikers are in form (And the fact this league is utter dogshite), once Clarke goes he stops doing what worked perhaps perplexed by the fact Clarke (described by Wolves as dogshit) had left. What followed has been awful football, followed by even worse football in a system that CLEARLY doesn't work. But he is oblivious or simple an idiot. 4 year contract suggests they won't sack him straightaway, but as this will continue whilst 5-3-2 is deployed we will be in the relegation zone and so he'll have to get the bullet.

It's Gary Rowett for me.

TBH our squad is weaker than last season, so hardly in the shape to campaign for the play-offs. SISU haven't reinvented the cash as promised. That said, we have made a lot of signings under SP and they have mostly been duff.

We don't have the centre midfielders to play with only two thanks to Pressley's refusal to bring any in during the summer. Fleck and Thomas would get destroyed in a two and who else do we have? Barton? Daniels?

blaming Pressley seems wrong to me. He is tied by the budget set by Shitzu which clearly is not sufficient to challenge at the top of this division.

Its also not insufficient enough to be in a relegation battle which is what it is looking like.

I thought this was a thread of self reflection.

How can people blame the budget? We've just lost to Scunthorpe Rochdale and Crewe

Take a reality check mate. That is were we are at the moment due to lack of investment by our owners!

No it isn't. Rochdale Crewe and Scunthorpe couldn't afford the wages of the vast majority of the starting 11.

could do with a goalscoring midfield player - still think what we have is better than Baker?

Yes that is why we are in league 1

But it isn't why we lost to Crewe, Rochdale, Scunthorpe and failed to beat Crawley.

SISU never promised promised to reinvest the money into the squad. They said THE CLUB. They spent the money on court costs

He is a stubborn git. The 4-2-3-1 would work with the players he have. Another defensive midfielder would see that formation make us play-off contenders. But Pressley has an idea in his mind and he wont forget it til he's ready. II think he needs to be more open to change. Im defo not in the Pressley Out club, but I've lost a little faith
