'Insanity is signing all the same players that you had last season that failed to make the League 1 playoffs and expecting a different - and better - result' - Albert Einstein
Meh, if we signed all the same players as last season, but just replaced McNally, Hanson, Winnall, Williams & Holland with another topnotch CB, two top quality full backs, another solid defensive midfielder and a pacy, exciting forward/winger......then I'd be pretty confident going into the season. We were, after all, pretty good for the most part last year.
Gavin Whyte wasn't amazing last year (especially when he got anywhere near the goal with the ball at his feet), but he's certainly good enough to be a squad player for a League One promotion team. Herbie Kane would be as well, as long as we didn't expect him to play at the base of midfield.......not that I've heard we're likely to sign him again. If we don't, we need to replace him with like-for-like as well.
We've just got to nail those new signings......which is why we're all on tenterhooks waiting......
