Maynard out?

[1955pie]

I continue to strongly, strongly disagree with the idea that this isnt a ?strong squad?.

It has a rebuilt goalkeeper and back line that everyone agrees has been excellent. Two wing backs who won promotion last season. A nominee for the divisions young player of the year in midfield. The second and third leading goalscorers in the league in attack. The divisions player of the year from last season occasionally.

There are very few, possibly no, other squads in League Two this season that can match that amount of proven quality across the pitch. Maybe Port Vale, maybe MK (lol).

I was saying that our squad would not be good enough for League 1 and it appears not really for League 2.
2 wing backs who were refused new contracts when Crawley went up. Perhaps they can go back there next season. Our captain isn?t playing as we know he can. We have no playmaker. RCB played by a young lad (who let?s face it is no right sided Bedeau) or an extremely left sided back up to Bedeau having to fill in. A January signing who hasn?t really turned up yet. A couple of young lads still learning the ropes. We sold Nemane and Crowley and didn?t get a replacement for either. And as you say the best player in League 2 only able to play occasionally.

Collectively we are not good enough to beat the low block or the high press. We do not have enough players of the right quality.
We all know that the club want to be sustainable and that is admirable but the consequence is that we collectively are not quite good enough.

Gordon and Tsaroulla were both offered new contracts at Crawley, they turned them down to come here. Presumably because we pay more.
