    Funnily enough I’ve been speaking to a Derby fan at work today. 
    From what he was saying Derby fans word for word are discussing the same points we are but about Eustace. 

    Football is a funny game isn’t it

    It really makes no sense talking about new players unless it's with a new manager who has some positive play about him . Jones and Fleming were defenders and boy does it show.
    Anyone with any attacking ability soon has all their confidence sucked out of them because they are either played out of position or more likely are benched . I'm convinced someone else could get Knibbs , Carey and Apter to do what they were brought in for but Jones has given up on them , especially Knibbs and Apter.  
    As i said before . If he was given a war chest for players he'd just sign defenders or defensive midfielders.
    Sir Alf Ramsey, Sir Gareth Southgate and Thomas Tuchel were defenders. They demonstrated obvious success as England manager. 

    I don't think being a defender necessarily predicts how successful a manager is.

    Very big difference between club management and international management when it comes to recruiting v picking players. Over the last few years we have generally recruited v well for defenders, OK for midfield but poor for attack / creativity. We are lucky to have Leaburn. TC and Mbick as homegrown talent.

    I think a big factor behind that has been budget. Good defenders are much more affordable than good attackers, so for us it’s much easier to sign good defenders than it is to sign good attackers

    Sky have just shown Yeovil's 5-2 win against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in the second leg of the 2007 League 1 Play-off semi-final (5-4 on aggregate after ET). Yeovil were managed by Russell Slade and this chap was in their side too.
