From day one we underestimated the physicality and athleticism needed in L2, and the blame for that falls on the shoulders of the head of recruitment. We also made a bad error in going with such a small squad and flogging the same set of players, game in, game out. For the life of me, I will never understand why we didn’t bring someone in on loan when Cedwyn got injured in August, before the transfer window closed.
Agree 100%.
And compounded inexcusably in the January window by effectively doing nothing to meaningfully improve the defence. Williams had sounded the warning with those comments just before he left about the club bringing in new defenders if they were "ambitious enough".

A gross failure on the recruitment front.
