Amid the shambles of another derby dismantlement, a glimmer of hope. Unlike a detached Redknapp or an overmatched Ramsey, JFH said what we've been waiting to hear from management for too long: "this is unacceptable", especially to and for the fans.
Gotta say it was nice to finally hear. And like so many I don't (yet) blame this new manager for old problems.
Now it's time for the follow-up, that we will only play those who are committed to excellence, and who will bust their tails to get there. All others, look for another club or another profession.
Short of injury to others, bench Perch, Konch, Henry, and Toszer for the remainder of the season. It's time to find what we can build on for the future, instead of ##### about in the present. Enter Yun, Kpekewa, Furlong and (if healthy) Robinson.
Second, try a number of player and formations up top -- Polter and Washington, Washington and Blackwood, Petrasso and el Kheyati, til we get it right.
And in midfield, go for speed. Hoilett, Phillips, Chery and Luongo. Bring back Doughty as a defensive midfielder; recruit another.
The season is over re making the playoffs.
It's just getting started if we want to get in position to make it next year.
