Deja Vue

   This time last year the threads on this board were awash with concerns about the budget,not signing players and the concerns we were going backwards and relegation was on the cards.The end result was we had a great season and for me punched above our weight with the quality of players we had...

    Now here we are again, worried about all the things we were worried about this time last year.Social media is awash with it.Now obviously a lot of our success was down to the quality of Loan players we managed to bring into the club.I don't think many would argue that without Kane,Wilks and Downing we wouldn't have finished top 6..

   The contracted squad we had then without these players wasn't good enough to even finish mid table in our first year back.Rowe,Andrews,Butler,Marosi etc etc were all part of that squad.

    I appreciate that people are concerned that these players have now gone onto pastures new and so far we've only officially confirmed one new signing.However for me I'm actually quite excited going forward.GM has proved that he has a decent eye for a player,he's proved that.This is now his opportunity to go out and sign the players that fit his criteria rather than trying to mould the ones he inherited on contracts..

    I've got every faith that when time rolls on when we go again that we will have a team every bit as good as last years but our actual squad of contracted players will be better than last years..Of course time will tell but for me GM has earned the right and if he tells us not to panic about it and plans are in place then that's good enough for me..

I agree, we have everything to look forward to WC, and GM is a young coach and has every chance of improving especially as you say with players he's picked himself.
