Recruitment, recruitment, recruitment
in Piethagoram's angles
A blog by Piethagoram in General

We recruited badly in the summer, people were looking at Boldewijn, Dennis, Hemmings, Vaughan and were thinking that it would be easy this year (even the Peterborough chairman thought we would be up there), but we released:
Collin - Not replaced
O'Connor - Not replaced
Shola - Not replaced
Milsom - OK, he's back, but only just
Forte - (goals not replaced)
Alan Smith - Not replaced (maybe not on the pitch, but behind the scenes)
The top three are the killers, Keeper, Midfield linchpin, and Target Man, pretty much the spine of the side. Without these, we were always going to struggle. There are six, or seven players that need to go in January, but can't see them willing to drop to non league, which is probably the only league that would want them.
Looking at the side now, it is a bit damning that the only summer signings in the first XI are Boldewijn and Hemmings. Vaughan looks terrible and not suited to league 2, Dennis & Kellett have never looked fit, Thomas has looked OK in patches and the kids don't count. I don't think we will go down (famous last words), but I cannot currently see us finishing anywhere in the top half now.
