I remember some supporters saying the level does not matter, of course it matters , now we have risen a level to League 2 which remember is the basement division, LW has been made to look average as a manager only backed up by the stronger players mentioned above
So in terms of LW i never thought he was that good, and today i dont think he is that bad. He is average at this level, but he is young as a manager, and with the backing of our owners over several years should gain the experience required to step up a level
This season we would do well to finish top 7, then there is a chance of promotion if you can win 3 games, but would promotion be to soon, with our current team we would get trounced in L1
But we are not going down , so we wll stabalise in L2, where the owners and LW will replace the weaker players and next year and the year after we will get stronger till we gain promotion to L1
My comment wasn't aimed you at you mate. Some of the histrionics on here are, frankly, embarrassing. We seriously needed to temper expectations at the start of the season - a lot of chat about us finishing in the top 3, or even that finishing in the playoffs would be a poor season. We should be aiming for consolidating this season and building on next.
