Quantity over quality again.

He is slowly realising that the likes of Wood & Kelly (who he kept on), Forde, Allen, Forster Caskey and Taylor are not going to be good enough to keep us up.

We've brought in a lot of young players, lets face it Steve Evans didn't know what under 25 was, and we're still under the effects of that 'legacy'. Its like the academy, throw enough youngsters at it and some will stick, that what AS means by 'Rome wasn't built in a day'. However a lot will not make it, and that we shall see, as well as whether it's good enough to keep us in this league.

The club ethos is very very clear, we have to recruit younger, so they can be saleable assets. The risk they are taking with that is Championship status - its a gamble. I don't think we'll see anything like what we are to become as a team until gone Christmas, and that 'easy month' we've got coming up does look more ominous.

But if we go down - so what? - if the right ethos & structures are in place we'll come back stronger & more sustainable - that I have no doubt.

 Couldn't agree more with the majority of that. Well said!

I'm not knocking any of the players but none of them stand out as quality to me - Do they to you?

To get quality you have to pay quality money - certainly in terms of wages. We obviously prefer to stack the squad with average players and not break the wage structure as opposed to having a smaller squad with 3-4 stand out players.
