Thought Earl looked class first 3 or 4 games but he’s been terrible since. It’s alright talking about recruitment but we’ve some right dross in the squad to try to offload first. What a state we’re in….
Pines MDG are a good centre back pairing if we are ever allowed to play 4 at the back. Earl Is a decent back up option but if we are playing this formation next season we need a new left back and a starting centre back unless they just throw Shepherd in there and hope for the best.
We tried that, and the forwards, then loaned them all out. Replace the recruitment team. They're shocking.
We all know the best ones will be off in a flash, then replaced by Cosgrove, Russell and a Rotherham reject. No point getting excited this summer
If we didn't have any defenders then it would give me more confidence because the current incumbents are ******* useless
I would hang on to Pines because it's too early to call. Lofthouse has done really well at two clubs this season. He deserves a chance surely? Agree about everyone else.

Cundy is, McCarthy is apparently next summer, same as Benson. People complain about Oli Shaw and Andy Dallas, but those three are the biggest errors we've made in recruitment in the last few years. Three players on first-team wages who have barely seen the field. Of course it's not their fault they got injured, but when we're struggling for options they've been a huge waste of resources.
