I say "appears" because I don't think we really know what budget restraints are placed on the manager. It looks as though we have been relying on old er players who have some affinity with the manager of the moment, either that or some agents seem to be favoured.

I think we need to start from our goal keeper, central defence and a striker who is athletic healthy and is scoring goals at the moment. Get a solid central core and we should be much better organised. For that to happen we need to recruit players who fit in to a team strategy, rather than trying to fit the team strategy around the players who happen to be fit/available on any given match day.

I have no confidence in McGhee/Rusk and hope that they perform a miracle and keep us up and then voluntarily leave for brighter prospects down South, with their status enhanced and our thabnks for a job done.
McGhee and Rusk albeit the other way round with Rusk in charge were hopeless as the management team at Stockport County before they were sacked last October (2021).
