Well we got the result at that is the important thing, some 'strange experimentation' done, though I am not sure why and that's why DM earns the big bucks and I throw my tuppence worth in on here 
.
Any positive result is wonderful after our last 18 months, but lets not get to carried away just yet and see this game for what it was, a team just relegated from the Premiership, scrapping a 1-0 win, at home, against a team just promoted from League 2. This is not meant as anything negative just saying there is still a lot of work to do, I doubt we even have the squad yet that we will play the rest of the season with. The uncertainty over Dawson and Chadli and possibly Rod, though I really hope not, is hindering our progress, as we can not plan anything. As for Dawson and Chadli, stop paying these guys unless they stump up and start playing, if I don't (actually didn't) turn up for work, I did not get paid, what makes these players think they are exempt from the rules that govern us mere mortals?
All clubs moan about this 'player power', but no club seems to take a stand on it, maybe the answer is to bring in 'piecework' for those to young to have come across piecework, it was an old system where you worked for nothing and got paid on the amount of product (the number of pieces) you made. You don't play you don't get paid (obviously some arrangement for a player 'genuinely injured in the course of a game). £1 a yard run with the ball, £5 a cross, £10 for a good cross etc.
OK the last bit was just in jest but you get where on am coming from, there needs to be a coordinated effort between clubs to pull the reins in on this player power. I can't believe I am arguing for employers rights, over the rights of the workers.
