Let's not forget that we could have had a more settled team by regularly playing Goodson, Dinanga, Jackson etc. However it was decided, correctly in my view, that we could achieve more by getting players like Newby and CCC on loan, with the result that we have amassed 53 plus points, reached an FA Trophy semi, and the CSC final. If we match this next season, with or without loan players, I shan't complain. Also worth remembering that players of the calibre of CCC are liable to be picked up by other clubs anyway even if contracted, as indeed happened with Ryan and Toby.
Of course if we could get a player on loan for a season as (almost) happened with Shotton, that would solve the problem too, however, I suspect that such loans are quite rare.
