Good point S Brian,but I feel that the 10m talked about could be well spent on some
new acquisitions,

There were some poor end of season performances.
Both the players in midfield who were meant to back-up the fullbacks were missing in action.
Kavanagh looked like a schoolboy, not in the game at all, playing rushed passes even from short distances.
Tunnicliffe just didn't track back, the amount of times Burn and Hutchinson were pulled out to the help the full backs meant Norwich had an easy chance to score. Both these players didn't really contribute anything going forward either.
My choice in my above line-up of Bodurov at RB was missed placed when he came on for Hoogland as he seemed unfit.
Guthrie was just swamped in midfield with only Ruiz showing moments of skill but a lackluster performance from him too.
Rodallega missed a golden chance near HT to make it 2-1, and McCormack was falling back too deep to get the ball, trying to get involved. Smith gave their defenders something to worry about when he can on, before that Rodallega was just huffing and puffing against a brick wall.
Roberts came on and you could see he wanted to impress, but then he tries to take on too many, but he does cause panic running at defenses, given more experience and a bit more muscle to withstand a shove he should be given more game time next season.

SBM, your posting is virtually the same as I was going to make: pros and cons (mostly). Our 2 centre-backs played relatively well, given that they were pulled about by gaps caused by our own midfield and right-back; rather than, what was, a pretty mediochre performance by Norwich. Bryan Ruiz was a class apart, but unable to make enough given the rest of midfield - He deserved the away crowd chants!

Upbeat away support, who suffered as usual. I liked the history lesson, starting with "Who put the goal in the Carlisle net?" and various favourite players.
