Surely, if we want to rebuild and push for play offs we need to retain the likes of Fellows, Heggem and Price? Moreover, if Heggem goes our back 4 become Furlong, Phillips, Campbell and Taylor and whilst Styles might be moved back to help out he is no natural LB with the only other cover being Bartley and-if he too is not gone-Frabotta. Not ideal. The moot point is then whether it is worth losing Heggem and weakening our back 4 in exchange for possible improvements elsewhere on the pitch.
Good points Omeg, I do think though that we should give up on thinking of promotion for a while. It took Brentford a while before they were ready for the Prem. I do like Furlong being captain though. Hes a reliable ever present and consistent. Having Wallace as captain when he was hardly on the pitch wasnt doing us any favours. Im really worried that Heggebo might be another dud, I hope not. The one match I watched I didnt realise he was playing till I checked the team sheet after the match.
