I agree with that. Flynn had no idea and GG was a car crash ultimately. MC Gurk,Glatzel,Ofobohr and Drinan all improved us to a certain extent and with a pre season under their belt can surely only improve further
I know I am flogging a dead horse, and have gone all Ghost of Reg, but did they, really?
Drinan scored 4 in 10+7
Glatzel scored 7 in 18+1
I think the latter is a good enough player to have competing for the first team if you want promotion, but Drinan is no more than a back-up. Between them, that's an OK return, but worse than what they essentially replaced, so not better.
Ofoborh played 6 games, it's not really enough to judge him. He looked like he had something, but he also comes with a monumental health warning. you'd be very wary about spending first team player wages on such a risk. It may come off, but it's just another example of our haphazard approach to building a football squad.
McGurk was a bit part player - he managed 7 starts (and don't think any of those were for 90 mins were they?) in half a season. Hardly made us better - our results continued as they had been, if not worse. Does he have something about him? Of course. Should he be a first team pick, probably not. he's another gamble with lots of upside, but a gamble.
Of all four, only Glatzel showed consistent promise at the right level. He survived half a season, so we hope that one is paying off.
We lost Kemp, Young, Kinsella (from the positions these four came into) - one of those was as meh as they come, but as a squad, did it really get better? We had more forward options, that is for sure, but we still did not improve as a squad, as a whole.
