Eastwood had his chance as an out and out striker who tried. Eastwood had skill galore but clearly never tried.
He did absolutely nothing in his time with us to suggest this. All we had with McDonald is the same with Eastwood, the blind assumption that he has to come good eventually.
Although cody had a disappointing season when we were relegated he has scored 1 in 2 at Gillingham since he left us. The relegation squad lacked pace throughout, Sheffers and Platt being prime examples and Clingan Hussey and Bell were just terrible players in that final season. Nimley won a lot of penalties and I wouldn't judge him too harshly always tried hard. Having lost so many players from the previous season SISU made no attempt to build a squad sufficient to compete, bringing in a loan signing in Gary Gardener for just 4 games was pointless.
It's worth pointing out that we sold circa £3M. across that season and for what we paid for McDonald Marlon could have had his 3rd year,without requiring a transfer fee
So would we. then have stayed up and consequently would we have needed to sell Turner. Juke. Keogh
If only we could
Six and a half years would do for me.
Chance the administration that time round.
Wonder who would have appeared....
If only, should have took administration and relegation back then, could have then restructured the wage bill to stop overpaying for less than average players.

Exactly the squad was not good enough to compete and managed by a poor manager. We knew we were getting relegated before we'd even kicked a ball. We wouldn't have stayed up had we kept juke, frustrating as a fan yes, outrageous decision, no. Selling juke in January wasn't the reason we went down, the combination of poor squad/poor manager was

Yep
Or more importantly got an owner who either knew what they were doing or actually gave a damn about the actual football club.
McDonald shit.......
Played as a striker week in week out will score.
If we had him over the last 2 months we would be in the play offs. SP's only second mistake.
Nimely how many assists, how many more with Juke?
Norwood feeding nimley juke and Cody IMO would have meant 5 million saved
McDonald played 23 games in the season and 17 in the second half
Nimeley had 3 assists.
Juke Nimeley and McDonald wouldn't have been in the same team
The fact that you seriously think we would have been play off contenders in the second half of the season with Thorn as manager shows you are a complete idiot
And the small matter in the final season of not having the worst manager in our history. We could have let him sign 11 players in January - only 2 would have been decent,
Barnsley stayed up
How many more did they score than us?
How many more did they concede?
Keeping your top striker is always a good idea even if it costs you 500k. Especially if you can borrow 30 million to build a stadium that is not really needed....
Barnsley had 14 more points than us when juke left. They scored and conceded more. Sorry but you won't convince me that we'd have stayed up with Juke.

They scored 8 more
And you are right conceeded far more.
8 goals on jukes form without nimley and Norwood helping him?
I probably won't convince however that is not the same as you been right
prices are usualy inflated in january window
so why would he go for 5m in summer?
dumbass.
Eastwood had his chance as an out and out striker who tried. Eastwood had skill galore but clearly never tried.
The irony here is poetic.
As a dumbass ass I am not even going to bother explain it.
Priceless
so you cant answer the question.
stop making threads.
McDonald was reported as being out of shape and had plenty of time behind the scenes to impress here and clearly failed. If he's doing ok elsewhere good for him, but that doesn't mean that he'd have been doing the same here if only we had played him with fingers crossed.
