Mid table for me.

We've a decent young core of players that successive managers including Lamouchi aren't taking advantage of.

What are Rino, Ojo going to show in this game that will cause a manager to ignore the rest of their seasons?

Bagan and Harris, both out of contract soon, on the bench. Harris was going to go to Blackburn in Jan till we asked for a transfer fee, Bagan has been frozen out this season after recovering from injury.

Longer term an attacking group of Colwill, Etete and Davies looks promising. King in midfield,. McGuinness, Denham at the back. Luthra in goal. Now I'd certainly not advocate playing Denham or Luthra from day one next season, but we've got a decent young spine there to build around.

Successive managers have built around experience, slot youngsters in as and when. I'd go the other route and build around talented youngsters. They progress, you don't need to spend and indeed, could attract big bids.
Our squad is dire. It has been for years. The midfield hasn’t ever been addressed. Our young players have been ignored time and time again and therefore we have absolutely no idea how good they are. They’ll all leave anyway.

We can stay up being horrible and playing 352. We have proved that. I mean, if Sabri can get 20 points from 13 with our midfield and strikers, then fair play.

We have a few players to build around. McGuinness, Ng and Romeo can play at this level in defence. Ralls, Wintle and Rino aren’t terrible but can’t play together. O’Dowda is a good player. Etete needs a partner and the two keepers are poor but they’re not completely horrific. Robinson is going to be key and let’s hope Collins comes back strongly. That’s it. We need to hit on 6/7 signings this summer. We can’t afford to waste money on garbage like Daley-Campbell and Ojo
