Agree with a lot of what you have said and the lack of screening across the back four was also a real issue - I have however seen so many goals conceeded through basic lacking of marking etc
The issue will be for me too that from Facey, Crooks, O'Toole, Taylor, Mcwilliams and O'donnell - how many of those will still be here come early august? - I would say we will do well to keep hold of 50% of those, I think its inevitable there will be movement on a greater scale than just 3 or 4 and I believe we need it.
You’re moving the goalposts now, you said we’d get relegated if all we did was add 3 or 4 to what we have. At best that’s hyperbole!
Of course if a number of our better players leave a hell of a lot will rest on how we replace them, as is the case for every club in the land.
