Fast approaching and time to get your wish list in
I think we have an OKish first team (playoffs I think) but our cover really concerns me, as I posted on another thread, the thought of a couple of injuries/straight red cards to Naylor, Cannon and Whatmough, Raggett (never thought I’d write that) will leave us dreadfully exposed, the cover for our two first team backs is exceptionally questionable as well.
Ideally, I would love to see Ben Thomson come on loan (or a buy if we can afford him), the centre midfield would be so much better and with a bit of cover as well. Cover for Jack (who is only one tackle away from being seriously injured) and Raggett is needed, Downing and Nicolaissen I don’t rate that much.
So how do we afford them, somewhat up to the Eisners to fund the transfers and some creative accounting I think to get past the Salary Cap. Moving Downing and Bolton on for sure and maybe Close or Morris for fees would be a help depending on adequate replacements being affordable.
Without strengthening of the squad, I fear the lottery of the playoffs again and the appalling prospect of staying in L1 as a distinct possibility......getting free of the Salary Cap seems to be a must to me.
