Not too sure what he’ll do

Flip side is we’re on a shit run and 2 very winnable games left - I’m sure everyone would feel far better going into the summer with 2 wins that one win in 8 or whatever

Of course that’s a big assumption that out ‘first’ 11 would win those

I’d like to see the loanees out though. Get Abrefa back in at RB, Dorsett can go CB. Rino definitely start. Good chance for the forwards to get a few more goals so play Lane, Kelvin etc. prob no real harm in giving Marriott minutes off the bench.

Yes - I'm not convinced he'll leave out the loanees given if we don't win one of the last 2 games the noise will likely ramp up even more in the close season....the normally supportive local press are not convinced by him either.

Yes both games remaining are totally “dead rubbers”, we’ll probably lose to Rotherham and draw with Blackpool and it will not be surprising in the slightest. so neither will be scintillating edge of the seat stuff. Would thoroughly recommend those Academy players who Leam thinks could break through next season getting squad time at the very least plus those seniors who need a bit of exercise in recovering from injuries. Only loanees who would be considered for a permanent move should be involved.

At the end of the day the club has achieved exactly what most all thought it’d achieve - nothing but be stronger overall. Yes there are things that still need to be worked through and decisions made on but we were told this week there would be a review by the “board” at end of the season and decisions made accordingly. Personally I don’t think one of them will be to jettison the manager but it’s not something that is completely out of the question esp. if early ST sales/renewals are “up shyte creek”.
