And, no, I'm not being negative. Just pointing out, we have a small squad now, and it's a long, hard season.

Yes, we are very thin on the ground. The money issues must be worse than we originally thought.

The 1st team is more than good enough to get promoted (take JWP and Kilman out of that). We lack a bit of squad depth, and injuries will play a part, but that goes for everyone. Cash was always going to be a problem; we had to sell before we could buy last year, and relegation was going to compound the issue. My biggest concern is the manager, who does not know how to see out a game.

We dropped 2 points last weekend at one of the tougher places to go away because of him.

I watched a few games last weekend, and there is nothing to be scared of from any other team from what I saw.

Players come, players go, but Earthy, Hegyi, Marshall, Alvarez, Terry and Fulkrug were not part of the 1st team squad last year, and Fabianski didn't play either.

Earthy and Potts hurt the most after the obvious two.

I agree, Robbo. I don't think the players we have are bad, with the JWP and Kilman exceptions. The players bought in seem decent, and we lack depth. But I just can't see our manager changing his ridiculous tactics. If he does, I think we will be fine and should be able to get promoted, but I won't hold my breath.
