Stats.

Nice to see the stats from all and it show that we as a club need to move some players on and bring the right ones that will make a difference all over.

Yep. It defo says one thing or another. It is either poor management or poor players.....

Funny as SD said they were not good enough or mentally up to it.

My take on the stats is the players, or the mix of players, isn't right. And imagine if we'd had no Cooke!! But that shows what the right none-SD player can do.

Time for a good shake-up and some lads in that want to be footballers each Saturday.

As only one player in the defence is currently under contract the rest can be let go as they have not improved over the past few years. They may be cheap to employ but they are not the standard that we require.The defence has been a major problem for the past few years and we need to invest in good quality players. Our current players might think they are good enough but the stats say otherwise

but to let too many go runs the risk of not finding anyone any better.

I think that the improvement shown in the midfield and up front under Artell has been encouraging. I know that the on loan Cooke and Bowery (some wont agree) have been partly responsible for that, but it also true that our own players have shown well too. The defence (bar the 'keeper) is another matter but the manager seems encouraged by the improvement of Ray and the promise of Ng so, whilst 2 or 3 new recruits at the back are essential I don't think it's all bad for next season.

I suppose it depends if the fans are happy with a season of consolidation or what a real run at promotion. I reckon there's plenty of promise and improvement in Cooper, Ainley, Jones, Wintle and others to be optimistic for a decent season (assuming a strengthened defence) and, if that improvement is as significant as we've seen from our youngsters in the past, better than that. I definitely don't see us doing as badly as the last campaign.

He who dares wins Rodney.

Can't keep watching crap based on just that theory! Managers and Boards job to sort it. Got to be same rules for Artell as there were for Davis?

The addition of players in defence is a must for DA. The old guard have had there time and not improved. Bringing in new players will keep the rest on their toes as they will know if they do not improve then the door is open for them to leave
