    I can't tek to the guy on a personal level but he has done as much as he could with the hand dealt by Conway plus the extras. Whether he could have done any better than Stendel early season when all the kids were shell-shocked by defeats to much stronger experienced teams am not so sure. He has benefited from the players having a few months to get to know the levels required before he arrived and bringing in his own players. We were bottom when he came, we are a point off bottom now.

    I think there will be relegation clauses for both parties, the owners may relieve Struber of his duties or Struber may line himself up with another club in Austria/Germany/Switzerland, tekkin the trio of players with him.
    I also think there's a question mark at league one level whether this group have the physicality to cope with the demands in league one .

    Team of dwarfs , we've not only knocked another two years off the average age of the squad we managed to knock a foot of height off too whilst we were at it .

    The group last season played some very decent football , they played that football because nobody could out muscle them .

    One game from last season sticks in my mind , Shrewsbury at home on Good Friday afternoon .

    Beccles and co at the back that day were giving Woodrow and Brown a torrid time , bullying them and were bossing it .

    Moore came on after his long lay off with his head injury on about 60 minutes with the game at 1-1 .

    Different ball game nar , Moore starting backing in , putting his sen abart , they disintegrated and young Brown knocked in the winner shortly after .

    You're assuming that no signings will be made though. It was doom and gloom when we sold Bradshaw but we brought Woodrow straight in. Dougall and Bahre were brought in and Mcgeehan was a revelation when partnered with Mowatt.

    It isn't doom and gloom at League 1 level. Far from it. I was reassured when we signed Woodrow because although we didn't sign the Gooden, Eves or Norwood people were touting we went one better and signed a player who turned out to be a cut above.

    Recruitment at league 1 level is least of our worries. It's hoping lessons have been learned for our return.
