Don't think i am being too harsh when i say it looks completely devoid of organisation and leadership. The blame solely has to go to the coaching setup.
We can blame the owners for being naive for thinking that they can implement their baseball theories to soccer, we can blame the transfer committee for signing too many average players....etc. But when Tony Pulis can come in and make crystal palace defence (who are average players) look like world beaters ..... You have to ask questions on the coaching set-up we have here.
I can seriously see us being caught up in a relegation battle if things don't pick up.
The defence is a serious concern, we have conceded 29 goals in all competitions so far and we are still only in November, if we carry on at this rate we'll end up conceding 70-80 goals this season.
...and mind you the majority of them are soft goals. It's not like we didn't spend to shore up the defence, but the leadership and organisation are all over the place you wondered if they ever trained together
