How can the squad be diminished in value?
All the back four, Tav, Folarin, and Watmore are all increasing in value. Probably even Morsy. If we wanted to we could generate funds. Instead for once we are trying to build a squad.
The fact some of the youngsters are going out in loan to be ready for next season is a huge positive too I think.
Regardless of what happens this season we are much better placed than in recent years.
Priory for me is a goal keeper and a good EFL level goalscorer to play alongside Watmore.
Brit has until the end of the season and leaves on a free after we paid £15 million. Roberts sits around because NW does not rate him but won’t let him leave.
We bring in a goalkeeper we don’t need.
Just missed a target because he signed for some else 10 mins before NW called him (guess that means NW original targets won’t or can’t sign now it’s B listers and hope)
We have a squad that continues to diminish in value which in reality means, we are adjusting to life in the lower divisions, a club the town can afford.
So nothing will change, but did we really expect it would.
I have kind of accepted a play off spot might be out of our reach this season and with that acceptance my desire that we need players in Jan is also diminishing.
I think if we continue to show signs between now and the end of season then we can hopefully give it a good go next season with Warnock here.
I anticipate Marvin, Sav and Fletcher will sign a new deal and Britt will leave. With the right attacking options in summer we will look a more complete unit
NEW GK
Dijksteel, Fry, Paddy, Bola
Howson Sav
Tav, NEW, NEW
NEW
Then you got a back up that is hopefully along the lines of following
Stoj/Brynn
Spence, Wood, Hall, Coulson
Morsy, Wing
Watmore Fletcher Marv
Akpom
** I accept some people will leave but its futile right now suggesting who we might get bids for and not but point am making there is nucleus of a good time and hopefully Warnock can get the right players in the final 3rd to make us a more promotion chasing unit.
