Cookie is heartbroken by the performance, pull the other one mate, you are preparing the ground to resign once we've failed to make the play-offs or lost in the first match.
Seems to me Oyeleke and Khan is the beginning of a midfield. Cooke replaced Oyeleke with the Scouse waster McCourt, first wrong step. Asante injured pretty much ends our hopes anyway. He's our only good forward.
Matt is right to point out how short a time we have to recruit part of a team if by a miracle we are resurrected to the EFL. We need two keepers or one with Stone disappearing under a rock to be second choice. We need a remodelled midfield, getting rid of those barely good enough and bringing replacements who certainly are. We need Tshimanga and Asante fit, we need to be rid of Quigley and Tyson and replace them with young players challenging for places alongside, or instead of, the two front men. We need to decide whether Miller is a winger or a wing back and whether we want to keep him. We have to decide how we want the team to play in either a higher division or our current one, because at the moment we lack an identity. The one good thing about going up would be that EFL2 looks likely to be very ordinary, but really going up is the least of our worries, especially if an EFL team is prepared to forget Cookie's recent efforts and rely on his proven promotion credentials.
