Depressing stuff but that's the way it is. If we didn't feel down about this that would just show we didn't care.

Losing key players like Craney and Roberts can sometimes take a couple of seasons to recover from. It's not just a case of replacing them with equally talented players but getting the new players to gel with the team to the point where all the players can intuitively read each other.

Remember how long it took Rovers to rebuild a quality team after Shearer, Ripley, Sherwood and Gallagher left?

Lets keep the faith which means accepting how crap things are at the moment but never losing hope for the future.

I wasn't aware they had managed to do so yet....? :)

And with a damn sight more money than most clubs !!

Now now Macca,

They had a decent squad including the impressive on-loan Eyal Berkovic that got them promoted back into the premiership and have slowly but steadily strengthened ever since. I rekon they'll linger mid premiership for many seasons to come. Always a class above Burnley and Preston but never quite up there with Liverpool, Chelsea, Arse and Man U(re!) Pretty much the same fate as Bolton I predict.

Sorry, but where do you place us in this equation???
This is an Accy Stanley site, after all!!

Re: vs Notts County
 

I was using them as an example of how long it can take to effecltively replace key players.
We fit into the equation because we have lost Craney and Roberts in case you hadn't noticed...
Without those two (especially Roberts in IMO) we wouldn't even be in this league.
