Tonight’s match v HKR.

Quote: Dezzies_right_hook "So are you saying this is Powell's fault ?

This is 100% down to the players refusal to adapt to somthing new or just not being good enough to play that way and win.

For how long have we been a player short or the next signing will be the one, like vvd at Liverpool !! Our best players are as culpable for this garbage too some of them have been here for Smith price and now Powell with the same crappy attitude!

We don't have players who will do what's needed to improve to become winners if they've not done it over the last 2/3 years why expect it now. Majority are just happy to pick up their wages win or lose they're not really bothered. We can bring in any coach and will get the same performances over the season. 16 players out of contact, and I can only think of 2/3 who I would extend, not just based on this season but the last 3/4 seasons. Our squad needs a major refresh which I think we will see. I wonder if any have been told already to look for another club ?

What I think is needed is for the club to stand by powel love the players who've gained too much power in the dressing room and back him in replacing whoever !! This will completely change the culture at the club overnight almost players will come and know they have to perform and deliver to stay at the club we've become a soft touch in rewarding failure.'"

I still cannot understand why on earth Powell gives Hughes the captaincy. It gave out the wrong signal for me, and the gauntlet seems to have found itself on a fishing boat off the cost of the Faroe Islands.
