Manager and players not up to this level

You don't have a home form consistently as good as ours over 12 months, regularly beating the so called top teams with ease, on multiple occasions if you aren't good enough. The tactics and set up away from home are dreadful and completely playing to the opposites of our strengths.

This league is woeful this season and wide open. Which is making it more frustrating. Swansea joint top with a midfield partnership of two players who struggled in League One the season before last, Grimes with Northampton, Fulton eith us. Would put neither anywhere near our starting 11 yet they are in a team that is top. Charlton in 3rd, tiny budget, at odds with their owner. Scraped promotion last season. Lost several key players. Had to rush in a few freebies and loanees late in the window.

What do these 2 sides do. They simply have a go at teams home and away. Give their all and try to win every match. We don't even make an effort to get anything from away games. They're written off by thr coaching staff which is unacceptable.

Look at that cluster of teams 10 to 14. I wouldn't swap squads with any but they approach away games in a far more positive way. Football is such a simple game yet our coaching staff over complicate it
Grimes is a very good player. Not as sure about Fulton he didn’t really get a chance with us.
