Tried to send earlier, don't think it got through!
This Summer A Major Rebuild Is Needed again.
We need to take a hard look at what's required next summer the outgoings, the aging players who should be moved on, and those who simply aren't good enough. Rohl must be backed to demand real change.
Keeper, defence, midfield, attack every area needs serious work.
This is another full rebuild, and honestly, if Thelwell and his team are still leading it, that's a huge concern.
Let's be real this squad isn't anywhere near title contenders, and it's nowhere close to being capable of a European run like we've seen in the past. Right now, it's a mid-table League One side playing in the SPFL. We'll be lucky to finish second and even that feels doubtful.
We blew the best part of £25 million in the last transfer window probably more once you factor in loans, wages, and signing fees. And what do we have to show for it? Absolutely nothing.
It's unbelievably poor business ridiculously bad.
What are the owners thinking? We're in serious danger of missing out on European football next season and second place isn't guaranteed either.
Over-exaggeration I hear you say!
Come back to me at the end of the season.
I just can't see this group putting together a consistent run of 4, 5, or 6 wins. It's not Rohl's fault he's been thrown into this mess. I only hope it doesn't derail his career so early if these players end up throwing him under the bus.

I agree we need a lot of players. Some on here think we are better than them as well ? and we have a better midfield ?
They are a bad lot ? but still better than us unfortunately and got a better squad.

If Raskin doesn't sign another contract i'd be selling him. and dio to fund signings. We cannot spend when we want we have to balance the books.

Agree and don't understand these comparisons between our and their players.
How much did the boy Kenny cost? He looks streets ahead of our strikers.

Aging players should be removed, Tavernier is the oldest player in the team and yet he gets up and down the pitch all game even 120 minutes when the rest are blowing out their backside or having to go off, he ended up in central midfield when Diomande and Raskin got taken off and Rothwell isn't even good enough to go on.
Butland also one of our older players has saved us from doings all season.
Its the younger ones who are hopeless and need replaced in January never mind the summer, only don't let Thelwell do it.

I had a post like that and it's not went up?.
{Ed001's Note - they were held for 33 to have a look at to see if he thinks they are worth turning into articles.}

He gets up the pitch, but he doesn't get back when possession turns over.
The number of times I've seen that guy jogging back to position is a joke. And don't even get me started on turning his back on a throw in, which he's done against them for years.
By comparison, I watched the Liverpool game on Saturday and when the boy Bradley turned over possession he sprinted like he was running the 100m to get back and challenge.
