Here is what you need to do in the window:
1) Make dobbo an offer he can't refuse
2) Sell CBT
3) Buy for a 352 formation which will suit May and Dobbo
4) Tell Apples that is what is happening and if he don't like it he can get his coat
5) Buy a physical / mobile proven striker to play up top with May
6) Buy 2 midfield generals to play in front of Dobbo
7) Buy a solid proven centre back to replace Hector
8) Make sure all 4 of these key signings are hard, nasty bastards
9) Send campbell, tedic, ambankwah, and camara back
10) Try and add a bit of flair via the loan system in a few winger type characters - ball carriers who can be brought in and out of the side as and when
Thats it - that is the blueprint - now please make it happen and end this ongoing bollox - fuck performance coaches and a culture shift and all of that shite - just buy the right players and put them in a formation that works

I suggest that for half an hour a day they should meet face to face. If they are unable to work in harmony in those circumstances then they should use a mediator to help them.
If they disagree then they agree to disagree or one of them leaves.
My post is based on a rumour I picked up yesterday.
I don’t think we can send Camara back though (believe there is no break option in that deal).
Plus if we’re playing 3 at the back Hector can still stay in the side if/when we bring in the new ‘leader’ we desperately need at CB.
Already done that one.

I would worry more if there wasn't a thread calling for the manager to be sacked on there as it would mean something was wrong.
In all this, wtf does Paul Elliott do at the club.
Bye Charlie!
I think I agree with the formation in terms of two up top, but you still need a pacy wide player like CBT. You’d rather ditch him in favour of Tyreece Campbell or similar? Well, as I said, I think he’ll be off anyway, so it’s moot.
One of the downsides of Appleton is that he's so inflexible. One of the upsides of Bowyer was that he didn’t mind switching formations, even during a game. So 352, fine, but not 100% of the time, please. We should ideally have the players to switch to 442 or even 433 when required (other variations are available) - if only to avoid the boredom and predictability we’re currently beset by. For me, losing CBT and Hector would make that even worse.
If we do not have a quality window the fan base has every right to turn on Scott. If Scott provides the evident goods in terms of quality and Apples cannot get them doing the business, he should be the focus.
