Others youngsters can come in as and when. There’ll certainly be some very good youngsters on the bench too.
Of course we need experience as well – but I’d rather go for eight than fifteen, as stated. Personally, I’d try to keep Delaney.
Aim to bring in the best and fittest we can possibly get. Unfit players and sicknotes are one of the biggest contributors to our relegation.
There will still almost certainly be leftovers such as Hallam, Feeney and probably Bunn about the place.
Gallimore, Lewis, Pugh and Cribb are all but ready to step up when needed – they have already outshone many of the wretched old sweats we’ve seen over this dismal year.
One of our most gigantic failures over the last decade has been shipping in youngsters from higher clubs on loan. It has rarely worked. Their minds are probably elsewhere. Hackney is a case in point – as was Wood, the Bournemouth set etc, etc.
Where on earth are we gonna find a brace of real strikers? – That, above all, is what could sink us.
I think Nuttall has something about him which will probably develop in a balanced side – after all, he has been starved of football for several years – but still must be a reserve striker at the start of the season. Surely.
