All that guff about how much he loves 'experienced players' (ie old, shit, obedient and uninspired) just makes you wonder what part of his interview gave the board the impression that he was the man to develop our young players. He's only playing the kids now, when he's forced to, throwing them in at the deep-end of a season made shit by under-performing seniors who retained their places no matter how arse they were. The time to play the kids and 'make them men' (but not better players, it seems) would have been in games when, for instance, Lichaj could have come in for the out-of-sorts Hutton, when Baker could have stepped in for the shite Collins, when Heskey (nuff said) was preferred in midfield to Bannan and Gardner. It's a bloody shambles, he's fucked it up big time, and what the board were thinking is absolutely fucking beyond me.

If the club are to invest in the squad this sumer, please don't let McLeish spend it. No creativity, just dull, hard working players.

Keane scored twice against Wolves, and we won 3-2 - so that's 3 points.

Obviously the whole idea is very flawed though. He could have played Heskey instead of Keane who could have scored five.
