I don’t think we can compare the coming season with last season (or three quarter season), a lot of teams have had to offload their more experienced and therefore most costly players.
We just don’t know yet how the season will pan out, do we have the advantage of having run an U23 team last year? Most clubs didn’t.
I too have concerns about leadership on the pitch (and off it) but it may turn out to be a very strange season, I’m expecting the quality of the league to drop significantly, but I live in hope.
What the club needs is positivity, on the pitch and off it, including the crowd, including me.
