    I was in the camp that thought we'd be better off keeping Gerrard and getting rid of Clarke on the pitch. 

     

    However, in hindsight I think this year's team has been a lot more together off the pitch. I think the absence of Gerrard is a significant factor in that. A few other players too, with a few of the newer lads being good for morale to enhance it. 

     

    The cliques we saw last year helped relegate us and I think Gerrard was a significant part of that. Do we stay up if Gerrard plays most of the games he missed after Bury, I think so, or even if he admitted his injury before Bury. Do we stay up if Clarke stays, I think so. Do we stay up if Maouche plays more games, I think so- he's proven his value this season. The same for Nepomuceno. 

     

    There are a lot of factors that helped relegate us last season, a lot of which can be laid at the feet of our former owner. Clarke being shipped out on loan isn't one of them. 

     

    In hindsight given the amount of games Gerrard actually played and the dross signed with the money saved (Benyu) compared with what we already had available, do I think we were better keeping Gerrard, no. 

    Easy to forget the 2 seasons when Gerrard helped up stay up though isn’t it.

    Bit deflated about the Exeter game after spending 10 hours travelling there and back  , watching the 2nd half you wouldn't have thought we had a chance of making the  playoffs.. complete different team came out for the last 45mins... To me they looked as if they were playing for a point.. and the subs I was completely baffled by why Pete Wild waited so long to make them... anyway what do I know im just a supporter ? 

    That 2nd half was on a par with Northampton away last season no issue with losing but at least give it a go.

    I think he's improved a little but i dont see us creating anything with a central paring of sylla and Missilou. A central 3 is the only way i see us playing both as it stands so then branger out... Lang out wide and just o grady up top

    He spent the first half jogging from left to right in the centre circle second half he looked a better player still would prefer Fane playing in the middle as he breaks play up better than Ya Ya
