    First priority must be improved contracts for Cam and Hacks,as these two are very much a reason that we can move forward.This will show the fans that we have ambition.

    Our ambitions gone, lack of good management through out the club & lack of money.What have we built in T/S leadership that will last, nothing.T/S thought he could run before walk.To quote a Queen song I want it now was T/S song.We have a poor squad even by Lge1 standards we have gone backwards chasing his dream he was never going to reach.Oh have we signed any body yet.

    LoM, the most obvious threat now is we only have 16, yes 16 players to choose from for this coming Saturday and future games, as we have yet to bring anyone in. Can't count Raggett as he's still out injured.

    Last night Evo was quoted saying it's either 50/50 or 60/40 someone would be here for Saturday, he couldn't even work out a straight average percentage because he was called out on it during his interview.

    Now, as we are known for signing no one in the Januray windows, what impact could that have on us for the remainder of the season?
    We now have a current good 11 players who seem to forging something but, any risk of injury to any of those players and just look what's on the bench:

    Dawson - okay for the odd penalty save but his kicking will never improve. Almost turned one back into his own net last night.

    Clark - Harris - His days are spent and unless he's allowed just to linger in the 6 yard box or take penalties I can't se what else he has to offer.

    Hugill - I'll just move on to the next player.

    Kelly - Hopeless passing last night shows he brings little when I thought he'd bring a lot more. All he could do was foul as the Chezzy players breezed through him.

    Holmes - He has been out of the side through illness so may not have fully recovered but, he has previously played a lot better but, something still tells me he's league 2 at best.

    Hatton - Scurries a lot but no end product. He is very young though and seen little of full time football so can't be harsh on the lad.

    And that's our bench in a nutshell, frightening to think that they are our replacements should they be called upon. We can't count Kayode as I believe he's returned as an injured player.

    Thought we had 20 players to choose from. Can't we play the youngsters in the league?

    keepers aren't counted as part of the squad and as Brin says raggett is injured and we do not know when he will return and when he does will he stay fit. Hatton is seen by Evans as an academy player, so it is debatable whether he will use him much.
    We are very light and i still think it is deliberate to slash as much cost as we can, recover the debt from sales where we can (summer and January windows). I think TS believes that SE is capable of achieving midtable safety with this small squad, which will reduce again on 30th june when contracts end for Odoffin, Humphreys, Bramall and kayode (there might be others). I don't think there was ever any intention of offering odoffin a new contract, I think Evans was fed a story to front in the press. This is TS preparing for a 2025 exit and therefore minimising his loses. With RUFC having no real assets and millions of debt it doesn't look rosy, but perhaps there is a buyer in the wings that we are not aware of.

    We have 18 players without Raggett or Hatton to choose from, ok we can only play one goalie but we had less than this last year on occasions ?

    Yeah but they all need paying for even if you don't count them.
