See this a lot. And sometimes it's fair comment when you look at our inability to put teams to the sword when we need to - see Burton the other day.
But compare the team he fielded on his first day as Town manager with the one we might start next season with:
Birmingham City 0 Ipswich Town 1. Saturday, November 3rd, 2012
Town: Henderson, Chambers, Higginbotham, Cresswell, Reo-Coker, N'Daw, Martin, Wellens, Edwards, Murphy, DJ Campbell.
Subs: Mohsni, Emmanuel-Thomas, Drury, Scotland, Chopra, Loach, T Smith
Start of next season (players we currently own or have option of picking up as free agents):
Bart, Webster, Knudsen, Chambers, Spence, Skuse, Carayol, Huws, Downes, Rowe, Dozzell, Bishop, Hyam, Ward, Gleeson, Waghorn, Garner, McGoldrick, Sears, Drinan.
Add a couple of summer signings and a loanee in there and I would say there has been some progress made. Who knows, the likes of Folami and Morris might be pushing for a place as well.
Carter-Vickers on a season-long loan from Spurs has to be a priority if we can get him.
