Without the mcgoldrick them Clarke contribution this squad would be bottom 4.

Poorest squad I can remember and not even league one standard.

Bullshit, what a stupid comment.

Take the 2 scorers outta any team and their league position would suffer.

70% of our goals have been scored by 3 players. Who in this team do you really think is worth retaining next season? I can think of 3.

United wouldnt be top without RVP, Liverpool would be fucked without Suarez, Yeovil would be nowhere without Madden. Burnley would be down without Austin. That's why strikers are there.

I think there is a very good chance McGoldrick has kept us up this season...

United would be top. Burnley are neat relegation. You've tried to select teams with a striker with a high percentage of goals. This is a dire squad if players. Who would you keep? Who do you think other clubs are lining up to sign?

So you want half of the core of our team to go?

How ridiculous

Well if SP wants to trim the squad from 34 to 24 players and wants to shake up the squad you're look at around 17-20 leaving to enable this.

And when he said 24 he alluded that it included te youngsters like Wilson, Thomas and Daniels.

Those teams play to their striker's strengths. We did too when we had a potent scorer (Clarke or McG). The replacement strikers don't have particular strengths, our season is over, ours & our player's future is uncertain, a new manager with adjusted tactics & style...how many more reasons do you need to explain why we have gone backwards the last few weeks?

We concede far too many goals and have all season. We have needed two if the best three goalscorers on this league to save us. We rarely keep clean sheets. It's poor.

I agree with you Grendel and this season has certainly proved the old adage that quantity is no substitute for quality.

Each time I've seen us the defending has been so horrendous-but so has that of the opposition. We have Joe Murphy and some dreadful strikers to thank for our goals against column not being an embarrassment.

Think you can probably contact Astute and Dongle for the charity money now from my bets, think it was £20 with Astute and £10 with Dongle.

I'm not counting the ten points taken off either to make it more fair.

So does this put to bed the myth that we have the best squad, with the most quality and strength in depth, which will show it's superiority in the last 10 games, whilst the top 6 will struggle with injuries?

Hard to disagree with that list. Maybe Bell could turn things around if he can stay fit..big if that it is. Although I doubt anyone will want to take him off us!

That deduction has seriously scuppered most of those charity bets-good on you for not including it but says a lot that even without it the bet's probably a dud. I don't think even Astute would've bet us to have had 4 different managers this season...

Think he's referring to the top scout and manager at the beginning of the season.

No talking about your other hero Andy "eye for talent" thorn. At least that myth had gone away.

But really, it's only 1 because Clarke replaced McGoldrick, had we known that McGoldrick was definitely staying we wouldn't have signed Clarke.

Which flies in the face of the strong squad argument. Replace one player and we are struggling.
