Football matches are almost always won or lost on slim margins.I figure if we count the average goals/assists of all our players throughout their careers and add them all up, it's not enough. I don't think many start for more than 3 teams in the Prem.
Id be sad to see Pickford, Branthwaite and maybe NDiaye leave. The rest? Meh.
It's why I think no matter the manager we'll be near the bottom. Thats not me saying I'd give Sean Dyche a new contract...
I think a better manager with these same players would have a profound effect on our season. Not that it’s easy to choose that manager, as I freely admit.
At the moment, I’m not looking beyond May. Hopefully we can start the rebuild in earnest then, with perhaps a bonus signing or two in January.
