Crowley, Gosling, Robertson. Midfield.
Randall, Jatta, McGoldrick. Striker.

Only Crowley and Robertson are shoe ins for a starting place. Didzy has the class but we've asked too much of him and Macari has been in and out the team.
We've recruited poorly and have been trying to upgrade on Slocombe for three seasons going through Patterson, Jaros? Stone, Ashby, Mair and Brooks. Our defence is just incapable of doing the basics.
Wimbledon, Crewe and Gillingham showed how to defend at this level, we're incapable with this squad of doing it.
The manager will go but I look at that team and think that overall we're a bit on the small side and lightweight in key areas.
We also signed Colkett on loan from Crewe, but you could be forgiven for forgetting him - another January signing who wasn’t fit and defied logic when we needed someone to come in and give us an immediate lift.

Also, what does it say about Jatta that he’s not been able to get many minutes? I remember Jodi Jones’ enthusiastic tweet about Jatta being 6’4”, but we’ve barely put a decent cross into the box in 2024.

That 5-0 against Morecambe really does feel like a lifetime ago.
