We need to win an extra 20 points next season which means an upgrade on our players without disrupting the team spirit that we already have. Boro did it last season by bringing in a handful of better players and moving existing players to the bench and the bench players out.
That should be our template. Make as few changes as possible but upgrade with quality. For me, Westwood, Loovens, Lees, Pudil, Hutchinson, Lee, Bannan, FF & Hooper are probably good enough to get us promoted automatically. We may go further & replace Loovens & Pudil but our defensive record is good and it might take half a season to establish a new CB partnership which would be a shame as Lees & Loovens work well together.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
