I don’t buy it. This is all about tactics and man management.
Look at who we’ve signed in the last 2 years. They weren’t good enough for the Premier League, but this squad absolutely should be now.
Proven Championship performers:
Clarke (Sunderland)
Philogene (Hull)
Greaves (Hull)
O’Shea (WBA)
Szmodics (Blackburn)
Nunez (*******)
Akpom (Boro)
Kipre (WBA)
Furlong (WBA)
Ogbene (Rotherham)
Muric (Burnley)
Palmer (WBA)
Townsend (WBA)
No Championship experience, but proven quality:
Walle Egeli
Matusiwa
Cajuste
Sold for profit:
Hutchinson
Delap
None of the above:
Azon
McAteer
Johnson
Young
Button
(excl. Prem loans)

It’s bad recruitment
What player fits in with the mould of what was stated we needed when bullied like little school boys against Newcastle. Pace and physicality. Apart from hirst not one of our midfield or strikers is above 6ft. Not one of our midfielders or strikers has get past your defender pace.
We have a few that can take on the man and get a few yards from them due their technical ability but beyond that we have recruited a team of mid to high technical players with average pace. We can’t break the lines and we can’t get in behind teams like we used to so will have to rely on battling it out, slogging it out and hope that our possession game gets us enough opportunities to put one away which is proving hard at the moment due to how we lack a clinical cutting edge for what ever reason [Post edited 3 Dec 23:56]

There’s a very big link between tactics and recruitment! |  |

Cajuste and Taylor are both over 6ft | |

It's less the individuals as the imbalance of the squad: four right backs, no direct cover for Matusiwa or Leif, no working option at 10 and a striker short for the fourth season in a row. |  |

Hmmm disagree…
If you buy a fillet steak, prawn tempura, onion bhajis, Camembert and bbq sauce…. It doesn’t make a roast dinner. |  | | |

Agree entirely with the OP, it's not down to the recruitment, it's down to tactics and coaching. Rotation, rotation rotation, square pegs in round holes, the way we have completely nullified Leif Davis as the assist king is a prime example of poor tactics. | | | |

It is bad recruitment if they don't fit the system. [Post edited 4 Dec 7:59]

Then change the system, it's mind numbing anyway. | | | |

Yes, but you can serve a bloody delicious 3 courses with all those ingredients.
Or you can blend it badly and come up with something revolting. | |

Having right backs sat in the stand doesn’t affect performances.
Having Leif play every minute doesn’t either. He’s always done that.
And you can’t have us short at 10 and striker; Akpom is one or the other.
The hard truth is, all these expensive pieces could be put together in a better way. | |

But they were bought with the manager’s blessing to play his system. And the system can also be changed, as blasphemous and incomprehensible as that is.
If he can’t get a tune out of that level of proven quality, that’s tactics. | |

What have those proven Championship performers ever achieved in the Championship. Can't see much of a history of winning there. | | | |
