Watched some of the second half last night. Pretty even game United lucky to get the win

And more than one on here rate the lad.

If we are serious about achieving top 6 (is that the club window dressing it for us?) and actually trying to WIN a cup as opposed to disappointing semi final defeats we need some major changes.

We all know that 2 really good signings could change the picture very quickly - a classy midfielder and another striker. Clark and Shankland haven't found a successful partnership even when Clark plays up in a 2.

But what concerns me is what appears to be an acceptance (or complete misjudgment) by TA that we will continue with players who just aren't good enough to get us where we want to be.

Excluding the young fringe players, here's my thoughts.

Not good enough/should have been shipped out/should be shipped out -

Connolly (contract extension wtaf)
Reynolds (assuming Edwards is staying)
Punting the ball long again last night shows nothing has changed.
Pawlett (contract extension unbelievable)
Harkes (everyone knows I think he's part of the problem)
Butcher (not enough quality for our targets)
Clark (controversial I know) but his wage added to the other 5 (FIVE) would give us wages we could use a proportion of to get 2/3 really good footballers.


Jury Out

Robson
Appere

Apologies if I've missed anyone out.

I do worry that a former football agent has been given what appears to be sole control of our recruitment because if he can't see what most of us can see then that is a major concern.

I don't agree that we need major changes. We do need players in certain positions but we are starting from a solid base.

Well we disagree T! Fair enough. But it depends what you call a solid base. I did say 2 additions would make a significant difference!

But I'm looking at a base of players who would consistently make top 6 and have a serious chance of challenging for Silver.

Assuming Benji will go, it leaves imo

...............Carson
L Smith Edwards Mulgrew Robson/vacancy
Chalmers Fuchs Vacancy Vacancy
.......Shankland Vacancy

So for me, 7 players, which you could definitely describe as a solid base. 8 if you count Robson.

The major changes I was referring to weren't in the team itself because there you have 7 to build onto, but the way in which TA seems to be throwing Ogrens money about rewarding mediocrity.
