I can appreciate that not all signings work out, and I can also appreciate that some players fail to settle at some clubs for a variety of reasons, but I simply cannot understand why so many of our signings since we came back to the Championship haven't made an impact on the first team.
Last week's starting XI: Ikeme, Iorfa, Batth, EEL, Doherty, Henry, Coady, McDonald, VLP, Saville, Sigurdarson.
Only 4 of those 11 players didn't play for us in League 1. Iorfa has come through the development squad, but otherwise there are 3 signings that were made since we were promoted. 2 of whom have been loaned out, the other looks pretty $#@! and a waste of money after a bit of early promise. Oh, and our lone striker only started his 2nd game since halfway through that League 1 season. That League 1 season where we didn't think he was good enough to feature, and tried to offload him.
So if you were to show someone at the end of the League 1 season that side, and say it's how we'll be lining up in February 2015, they'd think you were off your rocker.
