I would suspect that there are players who have big egos but still recognise football as a team game and are not corrupted by greed or agent to realise the team is the most important thing in winning games and medals.
I don't think it's easy just to keep a player without thinking about the team. Much will depend on the succession planning of players, i.e. who will take over from Jaidi? Seaborne, Martin? Are they ready now? Is Jaidi going to be used as cover? Or do we buy?
We have a number of options for left back plus the promising Shaw (who is likely to see some first team action in the next two years). Do we keep Mills, and Dickson as well as Harding? Or Sell Mills and keep Harding and Dickson?
Sorry to stir the pot but not having read the thread except the last few posts, if we got 20 points, would we have finished third?
Twenty is closer to 22 but then the prize of second place would not be ours. So much depends on how everyone interprets the question of "how many points will we need".
Hotel Jenny, Klepferhof, 68220 hagenthal le bas, Frankreich. Near Basel, superb food and wine.
A bit closer to home Auberge de Luc, Welwyn Garden City, Herts. Again great food and wine.
I surprised they didn't interview Gus, the best Manager in League One... ever!
Joking apart, a nice piece and I can see another good season ahead with Adkins at the helm.
It will be against league rules to totally change the side, however they do have a couple of promising youngsters who may see some or all the match (especially if Murray is out). Also their captain, Greer, should be back from his four match ban
A shame the U-18s lost to Fulham to fall 4 points behind them in League A but I suppose at that stage as long as they keep learning and improving the U-18 league results will be irrelevant for first team appearances and successes.
see if you can get flights from EU (paris, amsterdam), they tend to be much cheaper although the exchange rate isn't great at the moment. Then it's just the matter of getting over to the city you fly from.
