I have never had so much difficulty working out where the fault lies for our serial inability to avoid decline.  The manager is erratic and stubborn, the coaching staff are not able to rectify elementary shortcomings but through it all shines the incompetence of player acquisition.  We have bought too many bad players.

I think in many cases we haven't bought bad players per-se, but players who don't blend as a successful squad/team. We've done it before with Gueye, Veretout etc and appear to be doing it again.

These players would do far better growing as part of a more stable/successful team, not being relied on.

The whole what does John Terry do is a red herring. If your boss wants to play a certain way and it leaves the entire defence exposed because the midfield is 1) shit and 2) plays some open football that only gives the ball away constantly, then you can Baresi and Maldini back there and it would be the same. They are constantly going to be under pressure and make mental and physical errors. I’m not saying he might not have done a better job, but the way we play or try to starts with and ends with the manager. I bet if he was part of Chris Wilders staff they would look much the same as they do now.

Exactly, it’s been the same all season. The midfield has been the problem all season.

I read TV's comment as more a reflection on Smith than on the MF situation (both of which ae valid).

Interested in the Bristol City vacancy.

Last year in Div 2, we only had the 11th best defence and shipped 20 more goals than Sheff Utd.

So far this season, we've already let in 62.
And case you're asking Sheff United have conceded 33.

Would he be missed?

It's mainly the stench of racism for me.
