Time for Conor to get fit

Based on what, mate? He hasn't refused to play or demand to move to a 'bigger' club. I've never seen him downing tools or not being arsed to try?

 

It’s the putting on a show - he doesn’t ever.

 

What you on about? It's his attitude on the pitch, strolling around like he's Zidane and he's been toss, did you think he controlled that midfield tonight or Bate at 5ft 8 won absolutely everything against him in the air and on the floor played him off the park?

 

still ******* singing it when he's been caught in possession all night and played so many bad balls - embarrassing

 

I don't think he was strolling around. I thought he did just okay. Had some good spells, some bad. Don't think Bate was that much better than him otherwise he'd have stayed on. Not really sure why now he's the one in the bullseye. Just feels a little childish saying he's strolling around like Zidane when he's just had a quiet game lol

 

The recruitment team work within certain parameters. But they’d find us an XI that would waltz the league, for sure. Unfortunately, once we find said players, you then have to compete with other clubs. Most of them have more cash. Or, offer more cash. Also, regardless of that team and their work, there’s a sporting director in place. He signs their work off. He makes the decisions. But only after input from the head coach, his staff etc. And then he has to get that signed off by the CEO, finance and so on. Then it goes to the board of directors.

Far too simplistic to blame any one person. It’s a collective, collaborative approach.

I could reel off a tonne of great signings and counter it with some right tripe. That’s standard at any level.

 

Wasn’t my point. I was just saying that we should trust the recruitment. Jay seems to think not.

 

You shouldn’t trust anything based on my opinion. Nor Jay’s.

 

I think you've watched that game with rose tinted glasses, Bate ran himself into the ground thats why he was subbed. Do you really think we controlled the midfield tonight? He's been below par for most of the season.

 

Never a truer word written.

Only thing I'll add is that when I was referring to the recruitment team I was including all the caveats that you referred to, not just the people that identify the players. As far as I'm concerned, they're all part of recruitment. I wasn't saying we couldn't identify players, more that we appear to be failing to sign the right players.
