01 Ruddy - International

02 Martin - International

05 Bassong - International

06 Turner

18 Garrido

07 Snodgrass - International

08 Howson

10 Fer - U21 International

22 Redmond - U21 International

09 van Wolfswinkel - International

16 Elmander - International

8 of our starting line up today represent their country. That is as good a reason as any to think that the coaching staff are to blame for our inept performances.

Agreed. It''s the most internationally representative squad that we have ever had.

Coaching staff definitely. Hughton, Calderwood and Trollope were all defensive-minded players who had very little idea about offensive play when they played and two of the three are failed managers (with maybe a third to be added shortly). Let''s not forget it was Calderwood''s brainwave to play Holt as a winger at Notts Forest. We have a Premiership playing squad and a Championship/League One coaching staff.

How about the possibility it could be a combination of inter-related factors and can''t be attributed simply to a single source, be that "players" or "coaching team"?

Be careful on this thread people. I once got labelled a "disgrace" for questioning our coaching staff. For the record, my stance hasn''t changed. I won''t hunt the current management team out, but I wouldn''t be at all unhappy if they left tomorrow. Quite simply I want to go to games to enjoy the entertainment, win, lose or draw, and for a little over a season, the enjoyment ffactor has been very, very thin on the ground.
