For Nigel and Dave Sharpe the retained list must grow smaller and smaller with each passing full time whistle. The number of players, we have that despite our best hopes and their endeavours do not set the heart racing, the Adrenalin pumping and would help fill (if we are to be allowed back in) Field Mill are not good enough is staggering.
I accept that we have a small squad, that players have for two and half seasons (including the bad apples that Flitcroft wanted rid of) have not wanted to be here, have been sold a vision that their abilities cannot match, have a blue badge in their car or have been mismanaged. But I cannot accept that week in, week out after responding so well to Nigel’s instructions that they have once again regressed. The passing and movement that we displayed against Cheltenham and Bolton has gone, individual errors are returning and decision making is poor. But what is the answer?
For me, a new goalkeeper, back four and forwards the likes of Stech, Benning, Sweeney, Gordon, Bowery, Sarkic (not an exhaustive list) need to leave. Next season is to be a clean start for the club, the manager and us as spectators. A new hope not weighed down with those that are part of the old empire.
Or when at ten to three I am asked, “are we going to the ground now?”, the reply may be “Who want another, we won’t miss much in the first fifteen minutes”.
