Nigel. That would have been the best thing to happen this season by a country mile! We would have had hope!
I would have liked it if AMcL had said when he was appointed "Don't expect anything this season and possibly next, I will be clearing the decks this season, introduce the young players we have and add a quality experienced players to complement them."
Unfortunatly, where as the likes of you and I would accept that he would be building a strong young squad there are many who just want it all yesterday!!
Obviously injuries permitting, how about:
Given,
Lichaj,
Stevens,
Clark,
Baker,
Herd,
Petrov (eventually to be replaced by Gardner)
Bannan,
Albrighton,
Gabby &
Weimann.
