This is all getting a bit weird tbh.

If these 2 were World beaters you'd say fine, but ... & best wishes to them ... they ain't that.

It says little for his view of our own youngsters ... including Darcy.

wtf is wrong with Tutte now ? Injury in training ... the plague ? If it's the former they need to get a grip on what they're doing.

Only guessing but if Tutte struggles with 2 games a week, they will be trying to use him sparingly and ask Lee to do his job

Which is fair enough, & Lee needs a bit of care too. But a player who's first choice, but lacking stamina should start & come off when tiring, not begin on the bench.

Then, there are other options than 19 yr olds or a 22 year old with 7 games on his cv.

Mascoll, Hickman, Comley & Greenidge must be viewed as really, really shite not to be given a bit of time. Gone, effectively, already.

Where are Darcy, or even Riley in the great man's thinking ?

Anyway, we'll see.

I think Greenidge will get that time. The rest won't.

They are.

We had to get pretty much 15-20 players in in Summer - it was always going to be the case that some didn’t work. It’s been made pretty obvious which ones those were, and there are possibly a couple more than we’d have liked, but I don’t think he’ll mess about in getting rid and having another go at replacing them.

I’d say there’s at least 8 - the 2 that have already gone, the 2 loanees that are rumoured to be heading back and the 4 you mention. If he replaces all of those, he might get 4 or 5 of those right, but it’s another step in getting the squad to where it should be.

It's fair enough that when signing so many some signings won't pan out, but what where we thinking signing so many inexperienced/non-league players when we were restricted on the number of players we could sign and had to make every one count?

Crellin, White, Hickman, Gordon, Mascoll, Greenidge

Huge gambles in the circumstances.

I agree - this is where we are at whether we like it or not.

While I’m not a fan of walking through the door into the team (unless there’s very good reason, which who knows there might be) IE is damned if he does damned if he doesn’t with his recruitment and team selection/tactics

To me it makes sense and he’s come out and explained it. He knows he needs bodies, he knows where they’re  needed, he knows January signings are complicated, he’s shown he can be loyal with players. 

It’s almost feels like another reset on our season.

That's exactly what it is. Along with moving to 4-3-3.

He's experimented on us, he's stubborn, it's failed so far & he's happily thrown Toby Porn-Name under the bus.

He should remember that one of Tobes' recruits was himself.

Basically he's given up on this season & just wants it over. Meanwhile we're left realising that top 6 is drifting further away & we're not as comfortably above the bottom to feel at ease. If the season gets curtailed, & that’s increasingly likely, we need to be nowhere near that.
