What will it take?
For me the club have two chances to get us all singing from the same hymn sheet before the kick off to next season.
1; A resounding victory on Sunday
If we achieve it there will be some who on leaving the ground will say why could't we have done that earlier on in the season!
Nevertheless a big win might blow away a few of the cobwebs so we can start a fresh in August.
2; This is the main one for me.
One or two big name signings in the summer, players the fans will pay to watch play the game.
These are a must together with maybe 3 or 4 other signings who are established players. Farting around with lower league players is not the way forward, none of the clubs at the top of the league this year have gone down that route.
Besides we have coaching staff who I think do not have it in them to improve players to the next level but if Matthew, Gritt and Kinsella can do it why can't Pards, Parkinson and Robson.
Other than Lewington, Andrews and McLean lower league players who are playing at a level that they shouldn't be there is nobody else worth even contemplating apart from Mackail-Smith who could be the next Andy Keogh as all his ingredients are the same aswell as having a similar CV.
3; Pre-season
Never mind the pre-season results let's get one thing and one thing only straight, lose the bloody lot if they have to, just as long as Pardew goes into the season knowing his best 11 out of a squad of 24 not the ridiculous 38 that we have had this season.
What are your thoughts?
