On paper I thought Brown was a good appointment. His inability to even get that usual ‘bounce’ last season was alarming but everyone was willing to cut him some slack. This season we’ve got worse where as oddly I think our squad is better.

It's a strange scenario isn't it? It just hasn't clicked for whatever reason(s).

It's DV's interpretation as a non attender... the reality is somewhat different. The squad is weaker... hardly surprising as Power said he'd have to cut the wage bill as a consequence of not going back up. Therefore it isn't surprising that we aren't doing so well. Whoever comes in will still have the fundamental squad weakness until January when they may be able to do something about it.

Better keepers, better midfielders. Think you could make a good case for the defence & strikers too

I'd love to see your justification for the strikers

Adebayo > Norris Richards - Richards
That’s really it isn’t it?

Vigouroux is the same, RC-C was Ok for a bit, we offered Moore a contract, but Franchise paid above to sit on their bench. We've more midfielders, but Dunne is still important. It's probably not a coincidence that Norris, Preston and Mullin, as well as Moore and loanees Kellan Gordon and Timi Elsnik, are all at clubs either in the Div 4 auto slots or PO slots.

RC-C was OK for about a minute when he made a last minute save against Notts County. Apart from that he was abysmal.

That’s really it isn’t it? we've replaced Mullin and Norris with adebayo, and aside from the first few games he's not really fired better than Norris. Richards is worse than Richards was last year

We are comfortably weaker - Preston and Norris were a key part of the spine and have not been replaced with like for like quality. Understandable given the reduction in the playing budget.

As has been shown his stats for last season were the same as Vigouroux. He certainly wasn't great, but we're in Div 4, so you tend not to get much as a back up keeper.
