We've lost Brown who even half ****** was better than Scott. Stansfield as wellPSFs are the time to try things out, see what works and what doesn't, who plays well with who etc. IIRC GC did this in the middle of last season, to much consternation (MJP said it cost us 8 - 10 points), but after the disaster of Port Vale, things came together.
The technical ability of our squad is the highest its ever been - only Collins, Key and perhaps Blackman are significant losses - and I'm confident that by the end of August this team will have gelled as a unit...
Replaced Blackman with some kid who specialises in the ball going over his head.
Key and Collins with kids who've never played proper football.
We've not strengthened in defence.
And we're complaining because Torquay are too physical for us.
Caldwell mentioned our naivety at the end of last season and has done little to address it.
