Where I do feel BH may have gone wrong is retaining too many of last season's squad as if you're doing that any additions really do have to be 1st team ready and the 2 we have signed so far are promising but not proven

2 strong signings and we are back in business but 2 more McIntosh level and people will understandably be concerned
No not surprised one bit. We never push the boat to get some big players here. Even blessed with money like the case was in January it was wasted on dross that barely kicked a ball for us.

I agree re his retained list but that's what you get with a rookie. We shouldn't expect anything different. Retaining the likes of Rutherford (5 goals in 110 appearances) and having Grant on a contract which he can retain himself is just mental.

All this stems back to January and the complete mess the board made of everything so I don't really put much blame on BH at this point.
