The squad as it stands will be very much able to compete at the top end of league one, know each other inside out and as a core team, if we keep them together, will be able to push for promotion and as they did last season largely hold their own in most situations in the championship.



The issue I have is that the OP is right. Furloughing is very much a sign of ambition. It is not as clear cjg as others have made out as other clubs simply are not doing it. The message it sends to current staff and would be recruits is very poor.

We need, providing no one leaves, four players for next season. I think we need another striker with a lot of pace + Josh to give us 4 options.

We need two recruits at the back as a minimum and we need a new middle of the park midfielder who ideally would have a left sided bias.


Those players are out there, out of contract now in some cases, yet we will wait and wait and wait to the point that as usual we will be too late or full of hot air.

The lack or proper acquisitions over 5 seasons now followed by the furloughing scheme ( I still think TS hasn't taken a loan) is all the proof you need that we are being run as a going concern and nowt else.
