Evangelos Marinakis And Co

On paper I think Vrentzos and Co signed some good players in the summer and 99% of the members on here agreed at the time.

I really can't put my finger on what has gone wrong but in my opinion it's not fair or correct to put all the blame on EM and Vrentzos.

Freeman has ripped up the Championship in the past, Knockaert has ripped up the Championship in the past, Taylor has ripped up the Championship in the past, Colback should be more than good enough at this level as should Christie. These players don't just become poor players overnight and neither do players who were already here like Lolley, Figs, Ameobi and Grabban etc.

There is more to it than blaming EM and Vrentzos in my view.

You make a fair point Sniff - and I’m sure Hughton must be tearing his hair out in frustration.
There were though a number of signings who - even when they were made - left me underwhelmed. These included:

Arter
Christie
Blackett
Cafu
Bachirou
Diallo

Agreed TPL. However  4 of the players you have mentioned above aren't playing which I know in itself tells a story but if they aren't playing then in my opinion they can't be blamed for our poor performances and form.

No Sniff but add the fragility at full back & the dilemma re how to replace Watson & it goes along way to explain our defensive issues. Sort them and our wingers may grow in confidence etc etc
