Last season was hardly mediocre, even with them being first choice. An alternative way of looking at recruitment thus far is:
Garrett out, Jaaskaleinen in
Ray out, Lancashire in
Raynes out, a more mature Sass-Davies in
Bowery out, Powell in
Nicholls out (he was hardly seen after September anyway), a more mature and experienced Reilly in
Walker out, Finney/Dale/Lowery in
If we lose Miller we will need further cover up front, similarly if Perry leaves - on the other hand Offord and Johnson are waiting in the wings so loan cover my be appropriate there. Yes, another defender might give us more cover, but it’s no good having them to warm the bench or deny chances to our own young players. It can’t be denied that the likes of Wintle, Pickering, Kirk, Ainley and the others named above have shown themselves to be capable, so I reckon we should trust the coaching staff’s judgement on a few more too.
