It was, but alone his lack of judgement of seeing Gavin Bazunu in pre-season and thinking he’d be ok for a team chasing top 2/6 and then binning him as quickly as Gavin’s disaster at Hull was part of the issue. Tonda did initially make the mistake of going with him but pretty quickly and clearly said to Spors ‘this guy is a total Rasmus Ankersen joke, get me a more solid keeper on loan in January because Alex is middle aged as an alternative. Get the twat (Bazunu) gone’. It’s tricky in a new job but decrying his keeping options after Ramsdale went to Newcastle was the experienced manager thing to do.
As others have identified, starting Ross Stewart 3 times in a week with his injury history when he found form was brainless.
It’s a mystery that the right back at Brentford came here highly regarded but looked like Steve Baker under Still. Jelert is a tart and James Bree was loaned out, but has pissed all over these two since he came back.
