The idea that we have 24 players under contract is somewhat misleading. We certainly may have 24 bodies, but whether they are cut out for a season in Lg2, is still to be seen.
My opinion is that we will lose our best players before the close of the transfer window. I can tell you now, Hump, Kelman & Elvis are very close to leaving.
There’s also the possibility that there will be further senior departures.
Our squad is dangerously light, and inexperienced in professional football at this level.
How well do you think this team holds itself against the average Lg2 team of ****houses?

Personally, I feel that’s the most nailed on relegation team we’ve ever had. Especially when you factor in that they are already well behind other teams in terms of fitness & training.
You've missed out Harry Lennon. Is that just because you don't rate him or because he's off?
He's exactly the type of player we need against L2 ****houses.
This is a risky hill to die on here but I actually do not think we lose Charlie or Elvis. Where is the rumours?
Rather than the rumours, where is the money? I can't see Elvis walking straight into a team at a level higher than L1 and L1 teams won't have the money. Will Championship teams pay for depth in the current climate? It's possible but less likely than it was in the last two transfer windows when, for all the interest in him GBJ cites, no move took place.
Charlie I could see attracting attention from big clubs with deep pockets. It's only a matter of time before he moves onto bigger and better things. His transfer should fund the HMRC tax bill.
I don't think we have enough quality/experience in midfield or attack.
RM has taken far too long to appoint a new manager. Leaving insufficient time to sign new players and integrate them into the current squad.
Freddy joined in October/November the last but one season we were promoted from this division.
I actually think there's a lot of technical ability in our squad but we're lacking physically and in experience. I also think they are two of the easier things to add in the current transfer market if we're able to get the embargo lifted. Three or four signings could transform this team entirely.
