We're trying to compete against better teams with league 2 standard players, albeit good ones.
We started well, but I think we've already been rumbled by those more established league 1 sides, not to mention those who were previously Championship level.
I'm sure we'll all be happy if we manage to survive our first season in league 1, but I fear for our long term future unless we can add some better quality players to our squad.

You’re right Lord.
Ive always says finishing sixth from bottom this season would be nothing short of amazing and I’m absolutely confident League One it will be next season.
However then come the big decisions.
Invest in the playing staff or continue as usual.
That will determine much.
