Hypothetical question but would wellens have got more out of this squad of players🤔
100% yes but alas that ship sailed a while ago sadly. So fucking annoyed with our inept performances at home. |

Too many weedy, dwarf-like players. No power, no strength, no tackling.

Unsure. We’d still be a striker short but he’d definitely set us up to be more attacking. …not…sure he’d have signed the player we have signed in the first place and he’d have probably fallen out with some. Plus over played some to the point they were injured all the time. Would have kept Grant around probably. Defence still would have been shite and Conroy probably still Captain. If anything - a Garner/Wellens co management team would have supplemented each other very well… |

It hurts even discussing it especially when you see the lack of quality in some the teams above us. |

All of which you need to fight your way out of league 2 |

Probably not. Also, his tenure would, I suspect, have come to an abrupt end if/when another lower league gig became available. |

I blame Power for wellens taking the Salford job as he seemed really happy here. Under Clem I reckon he would have flourished but as stated above that ship sailed a long time ago so we have to make do and wonder! |

I think we need to finally forget about 'the messiah'. |

I will give Rob Angus his due, he went and got my son Ketchup when my Mum sent him off to do so. However, this summer he needs to earn his CEO salary. Sit down with Garner and lay out the expectations for next season in no uncertain terms. Let him know he will have a top 7 budget for wages because you are budgeting on 10k crowds being sustained, but to do that, Garner is immediately on the hook to serve up a top 7 performing team to sustain those crowds. There is now way we should be hamstrung like we were this season given the assurity the crowds should now have delivered. Yes, debts need sorting, but a guy came in and told everyone he was going to sort those if he got the club. He has had his way and must be bringing in far more income than had been planned for in 2021/22.

Wellens only mentioned as he was on the opposing bench for clarity. Garner isn’t the long term solution with his current game plan (despite the contract extension) and I think if most fans are honest, can’t see many disagreeing with that. Our home form is inexcusable. Real shame for Tomlinson if that’s him out for the season because he did give us something different. Anyone want a Walsall and coach ticket x2?!
