I don’t disagree with Goody’s assessment, but you touch on the problem. How many of the better performers are we going to keep if we go down? We could end up with an endless cycle of rinse and repeat, new builds every season. If we are relegated, that is a major concern, we may well look at loaning...

I'd love to believe we could suddenly cut out the soft goals but surely that is wishful thinking.
I agree, unless we cut out the soft goals we are dreaming but I think overall we are a better outfit (especially with the three new guys) than we were in the early stages of the season.
