Green shoots maybe getting a bit scorched by the sun?
I too was thinking of going until a sudden flash of reality kicked in - glad I didn't bother either!

Yep. This is putrid stuff.
We look like amos reserves. Completely inept in all departments and absolutely embarrassing to watch.
Thomas / White / etc are the worst offenders.

So hard to watch. We have so many years of sh1t ahead.
Our kids are miles away and the poor things are playing beside donkeys like Jones, Palmer, White and Thomas - then you add in below average players like Smedts, Rowe, graham, Kerridge and they have little guidance. Apart from cripps, Weitering and doc amazingly we have no other players under 23 of any quality.
I'm depressed.

The optimists on this site should be reaching for the panic button about now... zero structure, zero midfield and zero leadership on display.
The kids aren't the problem, its the non-existent "middle tier" hacks that produce so little.
Sh1ts me no end how the aints cough up chump change draft picks and end up with valuable players like Stevens (K), Bruce, Longer, Steele and we continue to recruit absolute spuds like Palmer and Smedts. Can't believe some on this site reckon those blokes have value.
A thick black line should be drawn through a lot of blokes going forward, the likes of Buckley, Graham, Thomas, Boekhorst, Smedts, Palmer, Rowe, White etc etc have had a lot of chances and show F all far too often. Play kids and build a future, don't continue falling behind with the same bunch of hacks.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

WTF are they trying to achieve? I just can't believe the coaches would send them out there just to swan around and not try??
