We should be aiming for the playoffs this season.
The only thing, which I think will stop us, is the depth of the squad.
We are already having to convert to 5 at the back and 4 CM's in games, just because we have two wide players injured. We look even more vulnerable and disjointed when we play this formation.
I appreciate Parky stated a lot of playing budget has already gone into this current squad and you can see the quality, but I am sure I heard part of the new investment will be used towards playing operations.
If we are not planning on signing any more players until Jan then we need to dip into the loan market. Turn draws into wins by being positive.
I am happy with the fact we are unbeaten but also feel we have dropped a load of points, because of poor game management, we don't see games out. Sit back in this league and you get punished.
Just using a couple of last year loan players, as examples, if we had Maxi and Sinclair to bring on at 2 nil today and Parky was brave and doesn't remain defensive ( which we are terrible at doing ) then we would have had 3 points.
Same if we started our strongest formation against York, we would have won .
We go toe to toe with Woking and Chesterfield, attacking, in our best formation and we pick up 6 points.
If we do play 5 ( 3 cbs and wingbacks) then at least have 3 attacking players on the pitch.
