We've had 8 home wins, 1 more than 7 last season. That papers over the cracks though as there were some big defeats. All season we were much better in the first half than the second. 5 subs has been a game changer (every pun intended) and we need a better bench and better tactics for managing the substitutions. Probably need to be fitter too. Too many players injured. Biggest problem is as ever going to be recruitment. We'll probably be one of the relegation favourites next season. Hard to get out of the cycle. Always possible though if signings click and everyone stays fit.

An interesting breakdown of how much money is being thrown around even at league 2 level .

Have to say big Dave bought the players in to sort it in the last window. He has done well in that respect. We need him to put more of his own stamp on the team in the summer.
I will start sleeping better if we get one more point or Sutton lose.


How many times…

David Artell is Head Coach. He has a limited role in recruitment.

Add to that that we have led during games, only to be thwarted and overturned by the final whistle, and "lost" 32 points that way. Add some of those points to our 46 today and it could be playoffs area.
Sam Allardyce always said that he builds from the back. He made his money by being parachuted in and saving lost causes, so he knew a thing or loads.

Just shows that Colchester going down rather than Sutton should theoretically help our cause next season given how much Colchester spend. On the other hand Colchester do seem to be generally bad at spending that money. How have they built up 38 million in debt to be in the position they are now!?

I for one think that is a nonsense. The recruitment guy is there to help identify possible targets and do the legwork in making signings possible by working with agents etc. but it is the responsibility of the manager or head coach in this case to give the go ahead on players he himself knows, or likes the look of if they have been recommended.

Im sure in one of his recent interviews he said he and Shaun had been out looking at a few players so I'm pretty sure he still has control of who we sign.

DA said in the Dn35 podcast recently that he has the final say on players coming in/out - not sure I'd call that a limited role.

I wonder if DA is still interested in Charlie Kirk, he played for them yesterday.  Wasn't we in for him only for Crewe to come in for him at the last minute.
