Sustainability, a couple of promotions(Ok yes a couple of relegations but from that, bouncebackability), a decent payout in the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of those things apply to us as we are far from a stable club and there is a lot of work to done yet to secure league status. Surely though, readying the kids now paves the way to self sustainability thus stability. Readying the kids now will pad out the squads in the next couple of seasons. Yes, I concede that we can't flood the whole squad with youth as you need league experience but wouldn't having such kids ready mean we have more budget available for bringing in better experience? Rather than having the unknown dregs of the international transfer market, wouldn't it be better to have the more known, homegrown quantity? As for a nothing season; Not ready to go up, not poor enough to go down provided we can stop sacking and recruiting coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather the kids progressed in their own time, that is what the youth structure is for. I certainly want a return to a more homegrown culture though, in fact I think it is essential.

McCann (and dare I say it, Wheater?) improving game on game should see us remain pretty miserly. Morais, Missilou & Wheater are all due a goal again so if one of them scores we should be good for the draw, if Azankpo or Wilson can chip in too we should win... Ontop of this Northampton have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 5. For you gamblers out there it might be a good one for under 2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just less interference. Manager picking the side on merit. Maouche on the bench not going straight back in is the right move he should be made to fight for his place in the team.

SweeperKeeper Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 On top for most of the first half, particularly as it went on, but we got away with them hitting the bar from an easy chance. Eagles is at the centre of most of our moves. Nobody's trying the final ball through though, we're snatching at half chances from outside the box too much. We've been awful down the right, hopefully it improves with Smith being swapped over to that side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
