Is that one of our problems?

You look at the likes of Nodge, leeds etc over past few years, theyve got a core of homegrown, mixed with some talented players from abroad, who can bring a different 'style' to the club. Able to adapt to different formations, styles of play etc



Never be afraid to share your thoughts.

Nope.

Lambert is the problem.

Quite difficult to recruit well overseas in League One, I think. But, yes, prior to that we got into the habit of 99% of our recruitment coming from the UK and Ireland, which probably hurts you in terms of value for money.

It's far from the top of the list of problems at the club, but the seemingly non existent plan for recruitment (which includes not using overseas) is certainly an issue. Even if we remove the likes of Leeds, at this level Barnsley used the German (iirc) market very effectively to get promoted.

Not at all. At this level, it's the coaching. It is having a good Manager and coaching staff who can improve players, motivate them and have strong tactics that can be modified.
Much of this has been lost in the upper leagues as money delivers "oven ready" footballers who do not need improving (well, that's the idea).

If you were the owner, surely the thing you would prioritise is the coaching and scouting staff.

Why is Joey Barton doing well at Fleetwood?
