I stated before that I shall support Neil, come what may, til October at the earliest.
He deserves to bring in his own players before being written off.
A number of players that have come in under his regime have been decent.
Turan is apparently a write-off but Hippo is not as bad a player as some say. (He reminds me a bit of a puppy that has not quite been trained properly. He cares and tries hard and sometimes gets it wrong. I’ve never questioned his attitude. Hopefully – a bench player in a decent squad.)
Now here is the question. Will Neil be allowed to bring in new blood in the early phases of the close season? If he is left picking through the dregs after training has recommenced – I predict a relegation battle as the only outcome.
I would strongly advise the club to exercise great caution before bringing in loanees.
We do not need too many Taylors and Cordners, thanks!
