So yesterday served up a harsh reality that it looks like we are destined to go down
venkys have completed the cycle from rags to riches now back to rags
should we all declare that we are doomed?
I don't think so
this is my take on the things needed to happen when we inevitably go down
1.keep the manager he inherited a squad of very unfit and bedraggled bunch of misfits but despite the past 3 loses he gives me the impression he could be the man to lead us out of league one besides who else is there?
2.clear the decks get shot of the players who command high wages but give abject performances
Steele,greer,Brown,Conway,Lowe
akpan,stokes,Evans can all go and will probably not be missed
3.youth is the future of this football club we can field a team of experience and youth and stand a chance of going up
Gk raya/Fisher
Rb nyambe/Henley(new contract)
Cb ward/Wharton/mulgrew/lenihan
Lb williams/Doyle
Rm Mahoney(give the kid a decent contract)/feeney
Cm mulgrew/lenihan/Guthrie/Tomlinson
hardcastle
Lm feeney/bennett/Mahoney
Fw we have problems here but maybe try and keep Graham then promote Butterworth or mansell and utilize an attacking midfielder
Rankin Costello/bennett/Mahoney all can slot into that role

So 3 steps to prepare for life in league one sadly we are doing this with venkys in charge so anything is possible
probably not with a positive slant.
