I know people keep saying, these players can't hack it and Mowbray had a poor squad to pick from, but lets not forget this same squad sat at the top of the table at the start of the season and only fell out of the top 6 a few weeks ago.
This squad should have had more than enough to get us promoted and I still blame the management keep messing around, including CC. You have quality wingers, you play them on the wing, good centre forwards you always play them up front, not in the middle, the clue is in the name 'Forward'. Granted we did have a lot of injury issues, but managers also need understand their players, take Diang as an example, he need to play either on the left wing or in old money what would be inside left, so what do our managers, do play him mostly coming in from the right. He is a flare player and if he is not playing his best game, his confidence goes and then we see the sporadic appearances as we are now. Look at Wallace tearing the place apart on the right wing with Furlong feeding and overlapping, so lets move him and make him a striker. Yes Fellows made a more than suitable replacement, but that is not the point, it is playing people out of position for no reason and those are just the first two which come to mind. Look at the midfield, easy to see the partnership which really worked, so lets change it and try something else.
This is were our problems lay this season far more than the actual squad. IMO
