It never really was a plan, was it? Maybe that’s being harsh, but some bits were definitely not a plan. Like play attractive football (or attacking or whatever it was). A vague idea of something they thought we’d like to see with absolutely no idea how to go about it. |  |

When the Evans regime is under pressure it usually comes out with some sort of plan.
Usually looks like something that has been worked out on the back of a fag packet! |  | | |

Of all the pointless horsesh1t that our club has produced over the last few years, that is perhaps the pinnacle. |  |

The current plan is to get five points.
Should take 10 games on recent form. |  |

I know that the last two years have been wasted because no-one’s actively tried to implement any of it. Evans’s interview after Mick left laid out what he saw the future as for an incoming manager: work with the good squad that we had at the end of 2017/18 allied to judicious buys for the right (cheap) price and the real centrepiece of it all, allow the Academy lads a good run to learn and develop, so that we could attain the identity that some felt we had lost. Mick was doing the best he could on those grounds but the mob had spoken so we looked to younger, shinier types to take this plan forward. There were alas three problems:
1) The budget to supplement the squad with extra quality wasn’t good enough for those who could have coached the younger players into a “progressive style” like Lampard or Potter.
2) It needed a Director of Football to help pull these elements together, certainly someone more clued up than Iain Milne
3) The manager we got clearly paid lip service to it at interview, but went his own merry way and disregarded it within weeks of arriving. Which would have been fine if he hadn’t alienated everyone here, bought a load of garbage that collectively wasn’t up to the Championship and sidelined our own youngsters in order to loan in youngsters from other clubs.
Lambert and O’Neill have also paid lip service to the idea, and Lambert’s signings haven’t been bad, but another year’s been wasted due to the core of the side being poor and the rotation policy meaning that Downes and Woolfenden aside' none of the Academy lads got the run of games that Evans would hope for. Of course the other issue is this sort of development project is a lovely idea in the Championship when you’re learning against Leeds and West Brom. It loses its lustre when you’re getting schooled by Accrington and Fleetwood and the club STILL hasn’t committed to anything that can be clearly identified as a direction. |  | | |
