You need a degree of success first if you want to stop the churn. No point persevering with guys who have already shown themselves not to be up to the job. Edit: re. the impact on the team for next year - none of these guys are in the team. I can't see how releasing reserves is going to impact performances particularly. The bulk of next year's team will be the guys who play in the playoffs, surely. Edited May 10, 2019 by Pull My Strings 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loemba90 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 4,000 tickets sold so far for our home leg next Friday. Would be hoping for a crowd of about 8,000 surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bulk of next year's team will be the guys who play in the playoffs, surely. I agree. If we don't go up, I reckon we will be in the best position we have been in thus far in terms of a having a settled squad of decent quality., and I for one am encouraged by this. We have a good spine of a team still under contract and it will hopefully be well supplemented with similar quality in the close season regardless of which league we are in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeadowArab Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 If we make it through to the playoff final, does anyone know what way round the legs are? As in, would be at home in the 1st or 2nd leg? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness I wouldn't have been against handing Dillon another year given our woes at right-back. Of course, if we had recruited properly it wouldn't have been an issue, but for a year he would have been a better choice at right-back than Murdoch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if we had recruited properly it wouldn't have been an issue, but for a year he would have been a better choice at right-back than Murdoch. Heard that we did. Dillon allegedly asked sometime after January whether he was being kept on so he could put is name out and get a club for the next season. Was told he wouldn't, so that was when they filmed his goodbye. Ray then spoke to him in February and he would be getting kept on, would have been on reduced terms and as a squad player. Because of that Dillon didn't put out he was available. After the play off loss to Hamilton Ray then told him he wasn't getting a contract and denied telling him he would get one. Dillon has no time for Ray. All "alledgedly" of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree that Dillon is far from the best player ever to have had the privelige of wearing the famous tangerine and black, we have had whole squads of jobbers, wasters and strays in, even in the time since he left, that wouldn't have the skill to lace his boots. IMO. Edited May 11, 2019 by MacArab 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
