Six week ago I would have bet my life on us winning the playoffs but not so sure now
Yes the squad we have have smashed records this season but is it really strong enough to survive league 1
I am not going to pick on individual players but our lack of pace throughout and ball winners in midfield
does not fill me with confidence in a higher league
We need to strengthen the spine of the squad with a new keeper, new Center half, strong fast ball winners in midfield and a proven forward to help Rhys Oats out
Would it be better to consolidate the team and make it more complete before we actually go up or win the playoffs and hope we can bring in quality good enough to survive

I just hope it's our time for a play off final win.
The last time we finished in safety in league 1 or its equivalent was 1990 !!!Ridge wrote:IF we make it up to League 1 through the playoffs, I am confident that Clough will make sure we better than bottom 4 with the backing of the Radfords.
I would take mid table consolidation for a few seasons with a steady build and progression.

We need to get up ASAFP and stay put. Clough knows what's what and if he gets us up will get us making progress.
Any longer in League 2 will reverse progress in my opinion. we need promotion.

It is the case every season pretty much.
If we go up, then Clough will probably have a bigger budget to play with based on forecasted bigger attendances. It will be a harder sell to persuade players of a good calibre that we're the team to join in that division, but having Clough gives us a better advantage I would have thought over other managers.
