Players to keep

Quoted from pen penfras

I'm not sure you can count last season, which was abandoned way before that, as a typical reference

Ah yeah, good point. Maybe it feels early because it's a Monday then.

Quoted from BobbyCummingsTackle

I kind of want to disagree with you but I can't - we need to be ruthless and sign players who make us better. We also need to stop signing players with a history of discipline and injury problems, past performance suggests future behaviour.

Assessing the improvements made to the team over the second half of the season, we have significantly improved by playing Hewitt and Menayese at the back and playing the midfield pair of Coke and Matete, both pairings key to making us much harder to beat. This is where we've vastly improved. Everywhere else not so much, still struggle for goals although more competitive when lumping the ball forward, no improvement wide at all and Clifton has been our best left back. We've got to be realistic about our squad. We need to be much better next season to get out of the Conference, we can't take passengers or players that we hope will do ok with "the step down", when in fact we need to be stepping up our quality through shrewd recruitment..
