Wembley play off side.

I hope you are wrong in your last sentence Roger, as we need to hit the ground running if we were to challenge?

 

I think it will take time, how long no idea, but we have some experience in there so hopefully not too long.

 

A metamorphosis.

 

High turnover of staff makes sense if you're not trying to foster a good working atmosphere or keep your staff happy - which certainly seems to be the case with Mr I-Know-Best.

 

A lot of teams have a large turnover over players every preseason. I don't see it being a problem. How many first team players did we have on our books before PP started assembling our squad in 2012? Just Hanson and Wells I reckon.

 

A lot to be said for keeping staff that failed then

 

Do you think any of the players released or sold so far should still be here?

 

Not necessarily. Teams in play offs usually come quite late. Millwall last year. Rotherham took a while to get going this year. Plymouth started poorly and nearly did it this time around

 

There's a strong case to say our failure was caused by dissatisfaction with the working conditions.

I can't think of any plausible explanation for the capitulation last season, and all will out in time.

 

Yeah, absolutely. Doyle and Law should have been retained in my opinion, I get people were split on Law, but that's my personal opinion.

There's a very strong case for trying to retain Tony McMahon, too, but I guess he's incompatible with our owner.

Not fussed about Poleon leaving at all, that's good business, and I can see why Vincelot + Dieng left - decent players, but nothing irreplaceable.

As for the German keepers, there are a fair few that should have joined them on the way out, but hey ho, can't have everything!

 

I’m not sayin* we aim for the play offs... Where did I suggest that. I’ll try again. If we aim to be automatic, then we need to start off running and not play catch up.

 

Blackburn lost their first 2 last season

 

Possibly Doyle, but had we kept Doyle would be have got O'Donnell ?

 

If you are happy with a poor start good luck ... your nerves should recover by the third weekend in May 2019

 

Doyle yes but only as number 2

Has Wyke gone yet?

 

Don't think he'd be happy as a number 2. The reason he's enjoyed these couple of seasons and got into the Ireland squad is because he was playing week in week out after being a number 2 for a number of years previously.
