I am also very fair and with regards to the new signings I certainly ain't judging them already, they need time to settle. I do have concerns about Callachan though, a year contract for a guy who has hardly kicked ball for a year, Kettlewell stupidly brings him on last week and he's now out for a few months. Slattery gets another year and he's out for a few months (sorry wellgirl), obika got a year contract with year option but instead of saying "Thanks Jon", he gets coaching contract cos heyyyy he's a nice guy. Kettlewell can't moan about budget as we have brought in 9 players but his training has to be questioned, I am sorry but it's too much a coincidence to be just unlucky. If Stama is out for long its an absolute farce. I know also Halliday gets terrible stick but if we had fully fit squad he wouldn't be starting every game.
Like I say I try to be upbeat and positive without reaching happy clapper mode but Kettlewell needs a good next few months or I will be asking serious questions.
