Good looking team here <ok> and Asoro sounds as though he is up for another season, so I would add him to the striker role alongside Maja, they look good together imo, although we have not seen solid proof its just my hunch that it could work very well for us if it succeeded.
Is there a source for your point that Asoro sounds as though he’s up for it? Be good to read / watch if he’s giving interviews
 
I still think that Maja has yet to show us what he is capable of. He needs a similar run to the one that Fletcher enjoyed at his expense, and before I am shot down, a certain Jermain Defoe felt that he was class, too.

I have a feeling Maja is going to be a slower more gradual developer, often seems to be that way with the bigger set lads. He could grow steady with a rise in leagues, defo worth keeping hold of imo. He's very young and they don't all develop like express trains. But he's shown enough to join the seniors at 18 so so we need to honor that, be patient with him and stick with him.

He won't find a higher level club and remain in contention imo so he'd be sensible to stay put.

Bri, he's weak as p iss, 10 stone bless him. not cut out for rough footy.

He looks solid enough to me but a lack of muscle is a common theme throughout our squad. Kone is the only one with any size to him and that was only what he had before he signed if anything he's got fat since.

If I was manager I'd get them all bulking out and lots of them aren't up to scratch for fitness either. Bare minimum stuff really.

Hit the nail on the head here, fitness levels need to be raised across the board, we also lack a bit of height in key areas, address this and with the skill factor amongst our young players we should be in for a good season. <ok>

So we start next season in the 1st division.
After a disasterous season in the championship
How can we keep our kids
Although we have played poor all season some of the kids has came through and proved they can performe
Teams in the higher leagues will have noticed there performances and will no doubtable be after them.
We will not be able to move on as we like if we lose those better performing youngsters ( and there’s a few)
Looks like we will have to buy many players again and hope they will hit the ground running
It’s going to be a very difficult season
If we get the right manager in and can hold onto some of the kids and build a team AGAIN we may be ok to start again
Let’s hope so

This is exactly the way that I see it. It would help no end if the F.A. would get a move on.
