    Slide started season with a fresh squad. KR took over when injuries started to hit the squad.

    My thoughts exactly. Slade had Magennis,, Novak, Holmes, and Pearce all fit plus Lookman, and seemingly chose not the pick Tex. He also had a summer to build his squad and in my opinion did a rather poor job of it.
    I don't think Slade did that badly in the transfer market to be fair, for me it's more what he did with the players in playing negative defensive football trying to hold on to a 1-0 lead which didn't work (Wimbledon, Port Vale, Oldham all spring to mind) and then you also have the games where we went 4-5-1 such as Gillingham.

    I do agree with your point about Tex, if there was never an issue over his contract he should have been in the team a lot sooner.

    It also makes you wonder what Slade did or didn't see in Aribo to play in centre mid? By the time Aribo made his debut we'd already gone through Crofts, Foley, Jackson and Ulvestad, did Slade never rate Aribo? His presence in the team co-incides with Robinson's run as manager. You could almost ask a similar question of why Konsa wasn't considered an option in midfield under Slade either?

    On a seperate note many of us - myself included - felt we needed 3 or 4 midfielders going into the January transfer window but with the emergence of Konsa and Aribo in midfield maybe we already had the players but they just weren't given the opportunities? Add the signing of JFC and suddenly centre mid doesn't appear as weak as it was albeit with room for improvement still.
    Seems clear to me that Slade was a racist
