For all the euphoria we have to remember we finished 6th in a desperately poor league and as much as we may love this group, some of them are not good enough for the step up. Harsh, but reality.
Spot on
Agree with this massively.
I'm not convinced any of our forward players will be regulars in the L2 next season, I'm really not. I could maybe see some higher ranked NL sides wanting Knowles but he's never played regularly at that level and bar the March purple patch he wasn't overly prolific. Be shocked if a L2 side takes him, if it's a NL side offering more cash I suppose we can't blame him.
Rowe is the only one I can see being a L2 regular, possibly Cam too but again it's a step-up to a level he's never played at before. If we had Chapman back I wouldn't be massively worried it's just I know he's getting on and it's probably a short term fix. I suppose at our level every fix is short term as if you have a player perform consistently well for a period they move up a league or two.
Sephton, Wilson, Martin, Gyasi, Leak and Essien I'll be staggered if any of those are still at the club next season. Sephton maybe the most harshly done by but that's football.
