    "Fast, strong . . ."

    He's not talking about us, is he?

    He's right

    The League 1 standard is kick and rush, Championship is kick harder rush faster. But what can you do ? Ritchie's side played the best football in nearly a decade and was bottom 3. </p>

    Basset said when we appointed him manager that a big strong defender and a big strong centre forward would get you promoted. Same still stands.</p>

    Cant really argue with what he says

    Bit lacking in suggestions as to the way forwards though - just bashing the current setup.

    Interestingly we beat Watford and should have beaten Stoke but for a bizarre reffing performance and much as I knock the way we have played some of the time I'd far rather watch us, ( or WBA or Southampton) than the tennis these bullies play

    he's rattled a few cages with that article but he's certainly got a point

    i know which option I prefer and it's not Stoke, Watford et al
