Hope Bruce can actually bring in some actual footballers in the Summer rather than the dross we signed last year.

Tbf I would be gobsmacked if any of these 3 are anywhere near the 1st team next season.

Really really hope you're right. Reach and Molumby are garbage, in Vals defence he was told to replace Pereira with no budget. Mowatt has been decent at this level but hasnt performed for ages, don't know what's happened to him.

There are squads in this division that cost a tenth of what ours did, and with wage bills at half the level ours are, but managers are making them competitive. 

As we are showing, money doesn’t guarantee success, but it does certainly give you a leg up.

You can't know that.

At this level good player recruitment can be done on a budget.

TBH it would be pretty hard to make our current midfield much worse!

The consolation is that if we wanted to keep any of these players then it's fine because no one would want the majority anyway. So if you're someone who believes our squad is strong then we'll probably be able to maintain it.

The bad news is that our recruitment has been so bad that I think we'd just end up being even worse if we had to replace some of them.

To be honest, we shouldn't be replacing them, we should be at least getting in players to compete for the first team. Other than in central defence we have no alternative options.
