First post on here so please be kind.
What's your thoughts on the summer cull now? I'm feeling it may have now been too dramatic?
I agree we had got stagnant and lots of players weren't up to standard, but would we have been better to have kept a core and added sensibly?
No doubt some of the signings we've made are fantastic but the defensive issues are probably the worst I've seen in some time.
Thoughts? |  | | |  |

I suspect lots of people will point to it. My challenge to them is to list the players who were culled who they now think we should have kept.
For me Wilson was sort of useful as a squad option. Nydam I liked but it seems is struggling with his injuries. Downes wanted out…..which leaves….erm……Skuse maybe if he could have proved his fitness and shed about 5 years.
So as far as I can see, when people disagree with the cull it is mostly a “I like Teddy Bishop” post. |
I posted above
Chambers, Skuse and Wilson. Experience in this league is everything, end of! And just persevered with Holy
No one is telling their replacements are any better, aside from Edmundson who has had one game (but it’s not looking good)
I except offensively we needed more but the defensive side was fine.
If Cook could not cope with the alleged Chambers ‘cartel’ then it says more about his managerial ability | | | |

Welcome to the fun forum! Our welcome standards are slipping, favourite cheese?
Only saw the goals but Edmundson looked way off it it was risky putting him from the start. KVY having a mare and having to be subbed after 20 odd mins is not going to help either.
For those who went to the game was it just a backline who haven't played together before and were at sixes and sevens? Or was it the centre 2 midfielders not protecting them? |
The midfield gave the centre backs no protection but that’s nothing new. From set pieces we did ok but from open play our backline was shambolic - more so than what can simply be put down to not knowing one another. | |

He was player of the season as much by default as anything else, given the CBs were about the only players who did anything positive and Nsiala is a scapegoat to many.
Given Burgess didn't arrive at Town until 15th August, that's a little unfair. Including for Accrington, he's played the same number as Wilson. Also, that's so far only six.
I don't think Wilson was a bad player by any means. He and Toto were our best combination last season. But it remains a fact that he missed two large chunks of the season injured. |
Yeah, the post you quoted is rewriting history a little. He got POTY out of protest because he was the least crap out of a bad bunch |  | | |

Fair enough. Didn't know he's been recognized as one before.
But with the goals and assists he's providing at the moment, why on earth would you move him? |  |

Greater good for me at the moment, I think he'd still be the danger he is from deep, but we need to sort that backline first and foremost if we're to move forwards. |  |
