Smith is decent, I’d say… the other two aren’t the level required.

There's the firing line and there's the firing squad... there's a section of our fans who can't wait to get rid and will use the smallest indiscretion as the bullet. I honestly don't get it.

Back-of-a-fag-packet maths, but I'd say our failure to be higher up the table is: 50% budget for players, 30% how we used that budget, 20% manager's set up, tactics, in-game decisions. Injuries also a factor but that comes into the first, really.

.... they did the year before, though. The same investment on 5 players as we've just spent on 10. Only Raphinha made a consistent impact.

Sort of... but let's not forget 2021/22, when we were happy to pin our failures on recruitment and injuries. He never managed to turn James into a striker...

C'mon. When we signed James Justin, did you think, "yeah, that's our business done, good job everyone!"

That's a conversation for another time, though... I just get frustrated at the microfocus on Farke rather than the hand he's been dealt.

In the last four games, he’s changed the systems three times mid-game, including two subs at HT in one, and used subs/system shift to come from behind to grab a point in the last two… is that stubbornness?

It's the PS5 thing again... "Why didn't he move Bogle 5 yards deeper in the 69th minute?"

Still seeing the "70-min subs" thing... have people been asleep for the last 10 days?

I was actually thinking, “the 70-min change might work here” as they were running out of ideas and we needed to create more threat from our possession…
