    Won’t happen obviously but would our current squad and management team be good enough to be League 2 champions next year ?

    Please don’t discuss we are not there, and we are still capable of getting out of this.

    Management team will bring us back up given a full summer and full control of recruitment

    Good question, always interesting for a fan to suffer relegation and the following season to be on a promotion push. But, with the current squad would you have faith in a return to league 1? We would lose the loan players and end up with dross. OK new recruitment, a good pre-season its a maybe?

    We need to stay in this devisison and build on the best of what we have got.

    What are you taking about?

    In what window have we been told a manager will bring us back up? We’ve been in this league for the last ten. You deluded idiot

    No !

    But what remains would certainly leave our Football Laeague status under threat IMO.

    With the exception of the Charlie Wyke signing (still don't know how we managed that)
    our transfer windows have been deplorable to say the least.
    This last January was the one to break the club we heard the usual
    "All our signings are lined up/ we know where we need to strengthen and have identified our targets"
    heard this for many a year now but we never seem to fail to dissapoint
    Why would this be any different next year in L2 unless fresh investment is found
    Look forward to Morecambe on a wet Wednesday night Grimsby on a freezing cold December Saturday and Oldham in January is always a delight on the plus side some new grounds to visit Forest Green ,Salford, Harrogate Town etc
    Just think what might be different if our returning "hero" would have stuck that chance away at Wembley but never mind am sure he will be heavily involved in our L2 consolidation efforts

    Interesting question but probably irrelevant. Should relegation happen you can guarantee the dross who got us there will suddenly be busting a gut to get out of the club, as they are 'too good for league 2'

    It's moot really as I think the vast majority of 'our current squad' will be gone at the end of this season if we go down. Loans will end and I'm guessing a good number of the others will have release clauses in their contracts.
    But like Onside, says, bit premature to discuss this now when we still have a chance to avoid the drop.

    No on both counts. League 2 is even more about doing the ugly stuff well, being resilient. We’re crap at that.

    And with every passing game, Hopkin looks the wrong man for the job. December was a freak.

    We will have a huge clear out of players at the end of the season, On past performance do you really trust Hopkin to sign the players needed to rebuild the squad to be successful again

    On what performance?

    He’s had one window where he had to move players on before he could sign anyone
