    And for 5 months, one was an epic failure in league 1. Meaning, give these lads a chance at a league 1 season and, if it is a successful season this season, see how we go with some momentum next season.

    I’m not so sure there would’ve been the wholesale changes had we stayed up like you say too, I reckon we’d have probably had a similar transfer window in regards to player sales.

    If we get promotion and this happens we might as well ask if we can stay in League One.

    No, I just thought we had a lot of poor full backs. Pinillos has really surpassed expectation. Cavare is erratic

    You think we'll probably finish top 6 but they're not good enough for The Championship so we should get rid as soon as possible. So am I right in thinking 'all' you want is to get rid of the whole squad and bring in Championship ready players....?

    Do you not realise how stupid that sounds? How many championship ready players do you think are out there that are not already playing in the championship....who would come to us....and we can afford? I'd say we'd be lucky if there's 5 players(complete guess) in the world that fit that profile. You think we need 24...and the transfer window isn't open.

    Think this is why people get riled by your posts...If you just said somet like 'think last night shows we're a bit short...we might get top 6 but some serious improvement needed if we want to ensure promotion and be competitive in The Championship' then a lot of people would probably agree. Seems like you just post sensational ******** to get a reaction.....which you have got so congrats.

    That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

    Just be honest.

    We are no different from any other team ,if we go up a level there will be a percentage of the squad, that would be unable to make the step up

    Yes but some squads will be 10% and others will be 90%.

    The post I quoted...

    "They won't be good enough for the level above so we need to start improving the squad at the earliest opportunity."

    Where does that say we need to bring in Championship ready players?

    The 2015/16 squad weren't Championship ready but they were hundred miles closer than this lot.

    Why don't you tell me then exactly what your plan would be? So far in this thread you've said we need to get rid of the WHOLE squad as early as possible and they're not good enough for the championship.

    I interpreted that to mean you want to get rid of all the players and bring in championship ready players. Apologies if I've got that wrong. I don't speak fluent Conan. So asking out of genuine interest...what exactly are you suggesting we should do?

    I would like to see the squad (excluding the three recent signings)entirely replaced over the next three windows. Two if we don't get promoted. The bulk of this would have to be done in the summer. I would accept break even bids on all players and I might even look to pay a couple I.e Isgrove off.

    Might sound dramatic but I don't think there is a Championship player amongst them. Last season we had two players of that standard, and where are they now? Tells its own story.

    Yep I do think it’s dramatic, unrealistic and unecessary but thanks for the clarification.
