Reflection

Well I have just sat back for a month to assess the RedVolution in action and it seems that the club is treading water.

With Queen's Park Rangers visiting on Boxing Day, it is very much, now or never. Phil Parkinson has 3 games to convince the board of the role for the rest of the season or the search for a manager has to be stepped up.

We seem unable to compete. Now the players are good enough to hold their own in this division and can probably challenge at the top end but the defensive situation we started the season with must be addressed.

Primus was not the answer, Crainie is too inexperienced and compounding this, it seems that Moutaouakil may leave in January due to personality issues with Parkinson.

Get a couple of experienced defenders in (although McEverly could be one) and try to locate a playmaker and perhaps the rest will fall into place.

Come on you reds!!
