We have the team, no doubt about that, it's whether we have the manager and the coaching staff, we aren't going to go up if we crumble every time we go behind. What if we do get into the play offs and go behind early at Wembley? We might as well forget the day and go home then and there.
Perhaps we have the team. Don't have the squad though as Saturday showed. No way will we get to the end of the season with our first choice 11.
Would have kept Thomas and wouldn't have sent Bentley out on loan if I was Sheridan.
Apparently Lecointe should be involved before the end of the season though.
I doubt either of those two would have helped us on Saturday though.
Sheridan always said that he was going for a small squad of talented players, that is what a lof of us asked for having seen all too many big teams of bang average players. Credit to him he has stuck to his guns and built himself a very talented first XI as promised but lacks the strength in depth as is to be expected.
Such an approach was always going to be a risky one, you leave yourself open to being hit hard by only a few injuries, sadly this was the case in January when our loan players left. Thing is we all knew this would be the case, afterall we called for him to bring in players of a higher calibre in the summer, you cannot have it both ways at our level. You can't compete with L1 clubs for players if you've not skimmed a bit off the reserve player budget.
All we can do now is keep our fingers crossed that our players stay fit until the end of the season, we can't bring in any extras at this stage unfortunately.
