Solskjaer must have done a good job signing players then.

The following are all way above the level of player Slade would be given the budget to buy.

Marshall, Fabio, Morrison, Connolly, Whittingham, Ralls ( would be worth £2-3m these days), dikgachoi, Jones, Mason

So why would Slade not have started with them ??

He's a lucky man to have these players to choose from, he's brought in some cheap back up and options and got our underachieving stars performing.

Well done Russell Slade.

Um....I think you'll find that most of these weren't signed by Solskjaer either!

Slade can't win! City play well and it's all Trollopes work, he plays arguably his strongest side and people say 'they're not Slades signings'.

Give the guy a break this side has come a long way since the side who got battered 4 - 2 against Norwich (2 nil up as well). I honestly believe we have a good enough squad to at least be in the top 6 if not even challenging for automatic promotion. Slades signings will be used its a long season, let's get behind Slade and the boys!

Slade is getting the best out of the players and making them play like a team, not as individuals, he should be applauded. Unfortunately, for a few, he will never be able to do anything right. But most city fans are seeing that he is making a difference.

You've got to give Trollope a lot of credit though.

Shows he's doing a good job, sorting out last seasons shit and getting them into a side hard to beat. Similar to what Malky did although he had to put together a side from scratch.

With the budget he's allowed he will struggle to bring in players who match the ability of the players brought in before hand.

Slade & Trollope is a good combo clearly. Don't care how it came about. Didn't rate Slade to begin with, save for Leeds home result last season where I was overcome with joy.

It's time to back Slade, not a single fan wanted him but he got on with it and may have the last laugh yet by getting a home crowd singing his name should our good form continue!

Do you not understand it's a squad game?.. Slade has had to sell alot of his squad, thus replacing them with lower budget players so yeah the high priced players are guna generally be of higher quality and starters. But he needed reliable squad players and he's bought them. Look at the bigger picture and give it a rest.
