Duke being mentioned to prove a strong squad is a little ironic. They do indeed have a strong squad on the whole though for this league, finished 8th 2 years running and have a bit of cash to spend.
On the flip side I can't see Wycombe being the team they were up until March last season and Lincoln may struggle to continue their form of the past few years.
Without wishing tp push the point...after the first difficult season, we finished safely mid table or better in L1 with Daisy in the side....a good pro and squad man. Once he left we evinced all the professionalism of a bag of cement and got relegated......coincidence?
No, more related to loss of players over a 12 month period, the reduction in the wage bill year on year, the employment of suspect talent and the general decline in the club from top to bottom for at least 18 months. I don't think having Duke in the side would have helped us stay up last season. Having Parkin may have saved us though.
