I think if we have a fully fit squad, we might just have enough to scrape a 22nd place finish - if we get a couple of decent midfielders and full backs in. Oh, and a target man who can hold the ball up and also run in behind. We need get some energy into the side, because at the moment we are inert - especially at home, and especially without Enzio.
Whatever happens this season, Ardley needs to be given a free pass - even if, like Big Sam, he starts off without a win for ages and we go down.
I honestly think that with the right manager, and this one seems as good as any, we have the squad to still get midtable. Just need the manager to remind the players they are responsible for themselves and need to take pride in the professional status they have achieved. Confidence and team work instead of eleven individuals pointing at each other. Attack and defend in pairs and gets some wins under the belt.
I agree with Swale to an extent, but if things need stating, we'll say it without being told to sit on the naughty step. So please cut that out SwalePie, you're not a mod any more just a decent poster. Do we have good players (like he says) who have been badly managed. Maybe a few, and no-one could have managed us worse than Chettle, who has been beyond awful.
Just listened to Ardley and he is likeable, I have to agree. New start? OK then, but when it's ****, let's say so.
True Navy I forgot about Ward, he has been an improvement on what went before. I'm thinking more about down the sides, no bite or ability to stop a cross at all. Thought Ardley came across well in his presser though so let's see if we can remain in touch until he can sort us out.
