Agreed buddy !

I suspect this will be at least a 2 year rebuild. Hopefully we can get Walters and Shorrock tied down on contracts. Dipepa will almost certainly leave but that will give us some money to play with. Priority has to be sorting the perennial leftback/ left wingback position and centreforward. Also tough calls on Chislett and Garrity as they only have 12 months on their contracts. I'd be surprised if either ever sign new contracts; so do we cash in and reinvest, or accept we lose both in 12 months? If we keep those 2 I think we need to play both just behind a main striker. Garrity is a little wasted as a sitting midfield player. If we'd recruited a decent midfield player to play alongside Ojo with Garrity further forward I suspect we'd have stayed up.

We are stuck with quite a lot of the squad. Positive is the 5 youth players have shown some fortitude in difficult times. We need midfield reinforcement to play alongside Ojo if he stays. We are stuck with 5 centrehalves (Lowe can't play any other position) unless someone is daft enough to buy one. Sang is a conundrum to solve.  There is something there and he's under contract. He's not a rightback or holding midfield player. Hopefully Clark can play a full season.

If we can solve the centreforward and leftback problem I think we have enough to be just behind the playoffs.

It could be one of 23 teams, I can tell you which team it won’t be.

Me.

Just need 3 full backs, 3 central defenders, 3 midfielders, 3 wingers, 4 strikers and maybe a goalkeeper. 
 

No problem.

Geographically you’re quite close.

100% not Vale.

It would depend largely on how much money we threw at it in the summer and probably again in the January window.  The current squad has the nucleus of a decent league 2 outfit in my opinion but obviously our better players will be targeted by other clubs.  Crewe have shown what can be achieved with some decent recruitment and a few young home grown players.  No reason why we shouldn’t be able to emulate that.

Crewe might have gone close had that Offord not got injured. They've fallen apart after he got crocked. Maybe we should spend some of the lottery money on him

The “League Two community club of the year” title. Then the “National League community club of the year” title the season after

They’ve imploded lately but Crewe recruited some decent League 2 players if you look at their squad.

What worries me most is we are both mentally and physically weak. We need a few players with a bit more physicality and some much stronger characters.
