We're now on the canvas and have two choices. Either get back on our feet and come up swinging or stay down and be counted out. I believe we'll come up swinging, but I wouldn't bet my house on it.
- Spot on again Dave neither would I bet on it too.
So many questions not many answers to all this.
There's one thing that's really getting my goat. What, if any, is, or was, the 'plan' with signing Carroll. Where are we ever trying to effectively supply him in a way to get the best out of him??
When we signed Downing in the summer I thought we were at least trying to address the right area even if Downing isn't the type of high quality hoped for. I still hoped for the best and hoped that he could at least get some crosses in from the left side for Carroll to attack (even if that's perhaps never gonna be as devastating as Barnes/ Nicol and Aldo in the past!).
Instead the situation now is that we don't have any obvious width in the team, on either flank, and when Carroll plays Downing is either substitute or plays on the right side instead!
Where on earth is the team effort to supply Carroll when he's selected?
