It's still early days in Cookies tenure and he had big shoes to fill, it has been difficult in one sense watching play off hopes fade away but I am also a realist and realise there was going to be a bedding in process not just for the management but also the players which is still ongoing and probably will be with injuries & suspensions alike but it gives the management team the chance to look at what they have perhaps identify targets for next season?

The acid test will be over the summer in terms of what players he can keep and bring in this is where it will be tough but hopefully the Board will back him as much as possible.

Thursday is a good chance to ask questions of where Cookie thinks we are and his plans for developing the squad my only concern this season has been the amount of loanees in and out it must be difficult to produce a balanced side with that happening.
