The first team is not far off the optimal eleven. LOC may be sold if he is destined to go the Cogley way. the left back situation remains unclear. The midfield selects itself as it stands with the doubt over Apter to play out. Up front Norris plus Dennis or Jennings is fairly obvious.
The one to miss out up front some weeks would be an acceptable sub, as it appears Yarney, McAlear and maybe Saunders (for pace) are. Everyone else seem to be bench fillers, not even worth that and maybe work in progress with the younger.
Firstly we need another Norris, even if he was fit. We would need to respond to anyone leaving. You still have about ten, of no apparent use but Palios may see this as not the time to invest in staff.
I can safely say we won't go down now, never really thought we would. Palios may not be so confident as his decisions really count but any big onward signing now is maybe £50,000 used up pointlessly before summer. My old belief that you settle players in over time seems outdated as we regard September as a starting point nowadays!!
I'd want a fully capable bench, which we don't really have, as a minimum
