Weekender Group: Forum Members Posts: 25, Visits: 0	well at least he is honest in his interviews. unfortunately, he is also admitting that we have no plan b. win, lose or draw, there will only ever be 1 striker up front. What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Pim: Why I Axed Trio? PIM Verbeek spoke this afternoon after announcing his 28 man squad he’ll take to South Africa tomorrow – a squad minus Jade North, Nick Carle and Scott McDonald. Have your say.
