I also think we have a lot of functional players who can play in more than one position, so we have more flexibility when it comes to adding players.

I’ve said for ages that you can’t afford to build a squad of 18-22 experienced pro’s, in the age bracket of 23-30, who are the perfect L2 fit, mainly due to financial reasons. This is why the abject criticism of Sam Austin, Adam Chicksen and to a lesser extent (but it will come) Cedwyn Scott really wrangles me. Three good, honest pro’s. By no means world beaters and not players I’d be desperate to see start 46 games this season, but they’re worth their place in our squad.

Young players need exposure. If Ryley Reynolds makes the bench every game this season, there’d be no reason to worry about that at all.

I hope we don’t lose Crowley, he’s an exceptional player - who funnily enough got loads of pointless stick at one point last season - but if he goes then he goes. We move on.

We thought we couldn’t replace Wootton. We thought we couldn’t replace Ruben.
