We’ve been left short season after season for years.You are right, but the first order of business for a newly promoted side is just to survive. We have seen Wycombe and Charlton go straight back down and there are some good teams in that division. But, I think our style of football is more suited to the Championship than Wycombe ever was and it should be a case of a few good additions to making the transition, rather than tear down and start again. Charlton was a bit mental off the field.
A lot has been said about Speakman leaving us short in some areas, but the signings we did get were good ones. I hope Neil has listed the areas and type of players he wants to fill, and Speakman is already making initial contacts or looking at people for those areas. The two together have the potential to build a balanced squad of young quality. Do that and we should be comfortably mid-table. I don't think we have enough for promotion.
Loan players, players out of contract, there’s far more dealing needs to be done than the good old days where you’d sign just a couple possibly 3 per closed season.
You’re looking at half a match day squad if not more every season.
