Quite impressed by Lampard’s comments in the DT. To paraphrase...he’s clearly frustrated but pays tribute to the commitment made by Mel Morris and says he knew what he was getting into and isn’t about to start ‘crying about it’.
On the plus side we have a much younger side now who, imo, play much more attractive football.
On the debit side, much of our youthfulness is down to the loanees who may or may not still be here next season and if they go it may be a case of building almost from square one again next season.
Hopefully, come next summer many of the most draining and unproductive contracts will be done and we’ll be in a better position to make Marriott like signings when that happens.
Personally I hope FL is still in post to oversee all that...he will be in demand though and as recent events down both the A50 and A52 have shown us...nothing should be taken for granted.
Haven’t completely given up hope of the ‘missing piece’ being signed in the next three weeks but I have to admit it’s looking increasingly unlikely. Pity...we aren’t far away imo.
