Good post
@Victoria Swan but, as inexperienced as our youngsters might be, I'd prefer us to go up this season. If we were to gain an extremely unlikely promotion, some of the youngsters such as Dan James, might be far more inclined to stay with us and the owners would be hard put to justify selling them on. And I believe that this team with the CAREFUL addition of a sprinking of quality, experienced pros, could hold their own at the top level. The game against Citeh gave us a glimpse of that. I also believe that our players are far happier playing against decent footballing sides than the routine cloggers who inhabit most of the Championship places.
If there was a GUARANTEE that our best young talent wouldn't be flogged to give investors a return on their cash then, yes, I think that the squad we have now is good enough to mount a serious promotion challenge next season. This season has given them invaluable experience and I would like to think that many of the mistakes that have been made this season whilst the team has been gelling and learning, would not be repeated in the next campaign. All academic though because I very much doubt that we will be promoted and equally doubt that our best players won't be sold.
