I for the record do not want to spend actual currency on Maguire. The joke is we act like he's awful when he is far superior to our players.

I firmly believe we can score 1 goal per game. I am not setting the bar very high. But that's probably enough to see us finish 15th.

Ok. But you’d agree that most of these players haven’t shown anything in their careers so far that would suggest that they’re better than the current performances?

No I wouldn't, because the current performances are making my eyes bleed and not all of them are that bad.

Elanga? Jesus, just fold.

He limits what we can tactically do and concedes way too many shots because he refuses to actually mark and prefers to react and block instead. Regardless of those criticisms he's going to need replacing in the next 18 to 30 months and that's the issue. We can't build anything if everything is short term.

Branthwaite is 21 in June.
Godfrey is 25 in 5 days time (15th January)
Holgate is 27 in October.

I'm not suggesting any of these will end up like Dave Watson, but lets not pretend they don't exist and all our eggs are in the Tarkowski (31 in November) & Coady (loan) (30 in February) basket. It is disingenuous to say the least.

He even admits that McNeil has never ever played in the correct system in his career, and is just guessing that he’ll randomly be better in a different set up.

Danjuma probably be a decent addition

Ok.
Name me a time that any of the players I’ve just mentioned have looked better than the performances they’re serving up?

Maupay is the only one who id say is underperforming what he was expected of him. Everyone else is about par or below.

If we are relying on Elanga, that is one almighty punt.

Thelwell leaving us with a front 3 full of players that have never scored goals and nothing at all as back up in August, ranks alongside the very worst of Walsh or Brands.

DCL? Gray?

You don't think it's a problem that Gordon hasn't done any better in multiple years?

They're all underperforming.
