That's right Crispy, one game - Definitely a reason to jettison the trial.

The simple fact is, Sam is not cut out to deliver a team with flair, just a fact! You dont employ an Italian Chef and then ask him to make roast dinners every day. Its the same with Sam - He has this ridiculous "Sky" built facade on him being "ahead of the times" and up to his ears in sports mind mechanics and so forth, when the simple fact is he is an old skool knock-it and run merchant.

He loves a long ball, big lumps and set pieces. As mentioned previosuly, he actually used to grow grass longer in the corners of previous pitches to accomodate the big diagonal ball.

Bloke is average and carved a good niche for himself, fair play and all that. However I dont want him carving it out at West Ham.
