Ah thanks. I didn't realise he went that far back. |  |

Two league cup games in 2017-18 under McCarthy (and two in the league at the end of the season under Klug). Was subbed on at half time for Donacien against Blackburn on the first day of the 2018-19 season, being loaned to Swindon for the rest of the season the following day. [Post edited 2 Sep 8:05]

With Woolfenden leaving... on 14:23 - Sep 2 with 183 views | darkhorse28 | It’s the leadership group form Paul Cook we miss.., Chaplin, Burns, Morsy, Burgess - they were the core that wanted to run though walls for each other, themselves, and the club. I’m sorry, McKenna has been hit and miss in the market, but we have signed some quality players for sure, but I’m not sure a single one has the attributes between the ears that those players exuded. I don’t think we’d have had any success without those four, none. And that’s damning of our recruitment policy, at times, too many round pegs in square holes, and a concerning lack of understanding of what it takes to build high performance teams.., it’s not exclusively done in coaching sessions, and McKenna doesn’t seem to get that.., it’s too long period now, to be anything but true. He swam the channel with some of the leaders he inherited. Young has it…, he’s 40, and I can’t name another, not even O’Shea if I’m honest. That says exactly what we need to know. Talented squad’s alone don’t win promotions. Ask Southampton.., ask Leeds. Sam, Massimo, Leif, Chaplin, Burgess, Burns, they had levels of desire that the quality at those clubs couldn’t live with. We’ll miss out this season, on the same basis…, and saying we’ll get anywhere near that level Is generous. McKenna has replaced blood curdling desire and passion.., with .., well I won’t swear.., talented nodding dogs, who mostly wouldn’t cross the road for each other. Schoolboy levels of strategic thinking.., we really have a complete vacuum above McKenna - it’s not 1989, he shouldn’t be doing this alone.., with no agency or consequence. We’re the complete opposite of Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford, Wolves et al |  | |  |
