At one point I thought Keown was going to be our future captain. Injuries and lack of form have made him half the player he was in his start with us.
Playing next to the likes of Barton and Devine every week hasn't helped. The loss of Liam lindsay has totally undone us. To be honest there was no confidence left in any of the squad and we had slipped into a spiral of losing and I think the more of them gone the better. The template for a promotion winning team is the same as the last time we came up, young pacy ,attacking with a couple of old heads.Whether that can be built in one pre-season ,...... I doubt it.
The first thing we need to do is break the cycle of losing and the mindset we are second best to every team we play. If that means getting rid of as many as possible...so be it
