He didn't inherit a team struggling towards the bottom of the league, it was a group of players who were evidently just not quite good enough to get promoted and needed a freshen-up. Unfortunately, SS didn't bring that in any way, shape or form. You're obviously way more ITK than the rest of us because I wasn't aware that half the team wanted out. Getting rid would be mental, but that doesn't mean it's been a success up to now - it's been a tough grind. Eh? He's replaced more than half the squad Quote

Getting rid would be mental, but that doesn't mean it's been a success up to now - it's been a tough grind. Not in the know one iota, but two keepers wanted away. Jones knew he was going but to be fair he tried every game he played he was not the same player pre injury Santos wanted off, Murphy,Matete would have known they would be returning to their parent clubs....Collins and Thomason would have been informed that the club was open to offersĀ as we was for Gomes,Schon, Randall, Lolos and Mcatee.......Adoboyejo, Cogley, Forrester got shipped out for nominal fees rather than be released this Summer. Out of nearly 30 players he inherited only Sheehan and Conway have had new contracts since he came in Ā Quote

Rival Son Posted March 20 Posted March 20 7 hours ago, Alf Hartigan said: I would question our signings though but not sure how much they are his decisions. Iām sure heāll have some input; telling Fergal and team what type of player he needs, reviewing what it proposed, etc., even if he doesnāt negotiate and sign-off on the deals. However, regarding this seasonās signings, I believe we only brought in Jimmy Dickenson, as Head Of Recruitment, after all last summerās (permanent) signings were made/agreed. Add to that the need to massively manage out the largely unwanted Evatt signings, it might be that this summerās dealings will be the acid test of the recruitment team. Quote

They also have Bradford to play away.Ā Ā 75 points should be enough for play offs. 3 wins.Ā Ā These last three games have really made this a lot harder than it should be.Ā Ā Edited March 24 by Ani Quote

Leyther_Matt Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Iām completely reliant on us playing Stockport, Bradford or Huddersfield. And even then probably finishing 4th so weāre the later game š Quote
Hoppy Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Last seasons run in saw us take 8 points from the last 8 games How many points do you think we will get from our remaining games this season folks? Just enough and with a game plan to win play offs Quote

Just enough and with a game plan to win play offs It's nigh on impossible to predict as a block of games, what happens from game to game and how it affects confidence/mentality/nerves is a massive factor, not just for us but who we might be playing.Ā This late run of fixtures was a concern viewed from a distance, weeks ago, after we've fluffed the last 3 games it looks even trickier, though certain of the opponents might also be nervy. For what its worth I think, with still a bit of optimism and some guessing at where the opponents will be at when we play them, we'll end up with 10 more points from a run of 2 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats Edited March 25 by ianofcleveleys Quote

I do think this Plymouth game is must not lose though or we'll be dragged right into the mix with no form or confidence, and would be likely to drop out of the play offs completely given that run.
