Is improving the football from the level played under McGhee that much of an achievement though. It could not have got much worse. For all this improved football we still create very little as the number of goals scored shows.
Think Raes lack of pace is main reason for not giving him a new contract. Cannot fault his effort but he is clearly a couple of yards off the pace of the game. Yesterday you could see him trying to get in to postions but was always to slow to get there especially when the ball was moving forward.
Edit: Mean to say is anyone else concerned by our lack of activity in this window. Most of the teams have strengthened or at least replaced players that have left.
Loads of possession today but no cutting edge. Plenty times got the ball into good positions only for the support to be to late arriving. Thought McGinn took penalty like a player lacking confidence which is odd for a player who is scoring for fun. Thought Pawlett was decent along with Osbourne and Milsom. Not sure how we address lack of cutting edge. Maybe playing more than one striker up front might help.
Venue now been confirmed as Novi Sad. Stadium only holds 12,000ish so probably going to be a scramble for tickets for the away end.
Already booked up for this and heading out via Budapest. Anybody else going?
Got to wonder why our 3 best youngsters have all decided to get out of the club first chance they got. Do they share the same agent or is there another reason. Why can United get their young players to sign on until 21 or 22 yet we cannot?
Very odd. Especially as they are rumoured to be appointing ex Espanyol coach who was sacked by them in Novemeber following a string of terrible results.
Stinks of jobs for the boys. Instead of appointing a coach on the up he appoints a mate who has made a complete tit of his last two jobs. Looks like nothing changes.
