We are threadbare regarding strength in-depth!
We had a huge exodus of players in the last few transfer windows and the younger players brought in have not been anywhere near the quality / potential? or we have a hugely inadequate scouting network and coaching staff at u23 & Youth Team level? probably both!
FSG love to promote from within, relying on the fact the promotion doesn't entail too much of a salary increase. We have too many inexperienced, wet behind the ears in the background!
We are a shambles at the moment trying to play catch up using hugely inadequate resources and in very grave danger of being left behind not just by those elite clubs of Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal & Citeh but the likes of Spurs, Southampton and very soon our neighbours across the park when they move into their shiny new stadium!
I am really concerned about our methodology at the moment...we have the likes of Sakho, Markovic, Flanagan and Ward on loan elsewhere whilst our bench looks increasingly flimsy each week!
We can only dream about who can make an instant impact in our acquisitions in the summer IF FSG bother to abandon this ridiculous MONEYBALL...but our problems are more severely deep rooted I'm afraid!
