Friday I'm in Leeds

No. Look at where we are, versus where we were, and our record under him from a demoralised position having already burned through two managers.

A player who has trained with the group for less than three days, and has never played in the EPL. I imagine all players that you have never seen are immediately premier league ready. Until it turns out they aren't. To hear this argument I can only conclude that you have had your eyes closed as we've burned through seemingly hundreds of players who've been completely out of their depth, or never even played a game at the level for us, over the course of our top flight adventuure.

A right back who can play left back, as opposed to nobody who can apart from a complete unknown.

Who has played right back for the first team in Europe...unlike alternatives who haven't played with these players in a competetive fixture.

The central midfielder on the right works hard when we are without the ball. The winger is very shit without the ball. Away at night on a wet pitch at a team that has an excellent record at home, means that we were always likely to be largely without the ball. Even at our very best since we've been promoted, we have largely been without the ball.

It rather seems to me that he's thought "what are my least worst choices". Any sign of this brilliant squad that you said that we've built? Talk me through the alternatives at centre-half, and in defence generally.

I hear whining that things should be better,, because what we are doing is shit...but I'm not hearing what tactics and changes that guarantee a better outcome actually are. I saw the injury list, and what was available.....and I said it was going to be a tough night, with a draw a good result. What were you seeing that made you think this was not a possibility?

I thought you wanted changes?

I expect so, because I'm never rabid and knee jerk, because I've seen football before. I can recognise that sometimes you are in a bad moment with the players are available to you, and I can see when the manager has largely been handed a bag of spanners, and I can recognise that is going to come with some challenges that wont always work out your way on the day.

If an actual football manager reacted like football fans largely do, then the team would be completely dismembered of confidence and form and never recover it.

Sometimes you just have to take your medicine to get better, there isn't always a magic wand.
