The most curious thing..
Goalkeeper?
Defence?
Midfield?
Wingers?
Strikers?
What is the biggest failing?

For me it's between the Midfield and the Strikers.
Andone looks fumbly and unsure when he receives the ball, Locadia bumbles around looking like he's just stumbled out of a weightlifting contest after forgetting leg days for the last 12 months, and Izquierdo may as well just put a white sheet over his head and shout 'woooo' at the defenders for all he gets noticed. Glenn tries, but he's too old to be running around like a lunatic - and the service to him is bloody woeful anyway.
Midfield may as well have a rear view mirror on each shoulder to help them with the back passes.
I'm not a happy bunny at the moment. May need time to take a breath and sleep on it.
Think you might need to change your user name next season.
I will get slated for this but I have to say Stephens, he generally slows play down, he takes 2 touches before a pass. He is a good player but to progress I think it is the most important position to improve, break up play then pass. Simples.
It was banded about in the summer that failing to invest in a window was equivalent to moving backwards, as all the teams around us would strengthen. Then we sign nobody in January, it doesn't take a prophet to foresee a relegation scrap as we hit free-fall in the new year. This was avoidable.
We have the league's most defensive manager and it seems we're losing the ability to defend. The worst (Sorry Maty) starting keeper in the league and a distinct lack of creative players every week.
FFS we rely on a 47 year old for our goals every week, or hope a CB can nut in a corner then hold onto a single goal lead until the final whistle.
Coaching and management take the brunt of the blame. Our wingers can't cross, out strikers look scared to shoot and out midfielders find it hard to pass to a fellow teammate.
Although an unpopular view, IMHO Hughton, Ryan, Propper, Knockers and AJ would be little missed come next season. That said, what worries me the most is replacing GM.
