Quote: markrammond "I think my solution would be to get the players who just miss on the matchday squad, from someone like Huddersfield, and pay a fee and put them straight in to the side, as they have got to be better than what we have.
They could come down on the Saturday for the Captain's run and play the Sunday, that's all we'd need.'"
As always a well though out post MR.
The issue here is will Hughes bankroll this stop gap? My feeling is no.
On 2 fronts the new dawn has failed and he will be sulking about the lack of fans and having to pay for a band this weekend, rather than focussing on the abject failure on the park.
Was he at Leigh? Did it "jog his memory"? He has his well spoken of coach and he was delighted with the squad....he'll never admit he got it wrong. Making Danny Ward walk straight away ripped the heart out of that squad......many were never going to stay after their coach was treated so shoddily.
My solution would be to assemble 6 or more Northern based players in a "mini-squad" on-loan whilst we play away for the summer. Then, wherever possible get the southern based players north as early as possible for training pre-match.....Batley, Town, York, Dewsbury, Widnes & Sheffield.....if we could get some decent quality players for these games on loan, then I think we stay up.....none of those games are unwinnable, but we need to act now, or as you say, we leave it too late.
