Bad form and a loss of confidence is one thing. Injuries to Evans and Williams have not helped because we have no strength in depth.
But unfathomable formations and a lack of players - well ones able to come on and change things for a plan B must be put on Sturrocks shoulders. His decisions to get rid of players, his game plans.
I have every confidence that with the right players (his players) he will get us up. But these aren't his players and they don't seem to be able to play his way.
I'd generally agree....and no they arent his players. Yet early season shows that despite not being his players they are (were?) more than capable of getting results in this league.
The radio and Sturrock keep claiming, our achillies heel is set pieces and has been all season. Well I for one dont remember us conceding sloopy set pieces when Wise was in charge? I cant be the only one of this opinion.
We dont look as organized and once Sturrock has done his magical change everything the players sometimes dont look like they know what they are doing. Something Wise never did. A player knew their position and they played that position.
We've got worse, I know there was alot of talk pre-season about Wise' training methods and fitness methods. I expect Sturrock has dis-regarded all of them because he is much more old school.
Sturrock took over the best squad in the league, one that was clearly going place and looked solid.
He's slowly let players go and we've got worse, we play worse and we dont look as solid.
It might be knee jerk, but if he cant get us promoted with the squad he inherited...then some serious questions needs to be ask. Mainly what the fucking hell happened?
