I may not have seen your lot play for a bit but surely you can finish higher than 11th? You've still got some decent players. Hopefully you can have a bit of a clear out at the end of the year and refresh the squad. Ikahihifo would be a great addition. The last thing we need is Fax in League 1.

Its just so hard to see where our wins are coming from, that was the worst Fev team in probably over a decade with a load of players missing and we never even threatened them. No fight, no desire, no passion, I would keep 6 of the current squad and the rest can go for mine, we need a huge clear out.

When you put it like that it's scary, but true. I've watched a few game this season where for all the world it looked like some of our players weren't even trying. I never thought i would say, or see that. I keep saying that a chain is only as good as it's weakest link and this team certainly has more than a few weak links. We are in a dangerous place and as GFB says there are only half a dozen players who i would personally keep if we can stave off relegation.

JWH,Inman,O’Brien,Jouffret,Douglas,Lannon,Crookes..That’s my 7 if they’ve not already gone.Add the 3 re-signs for continuity I suppose but they’d go as well if I was building a proper grand final challenging side...

Pretty much same thinking here except I would swap Lannon out and keep Calcott and Im not fussed about keeping Inman.

Think it's all just the tip of a huge iceberg imo. Looks like several other clubs are really struggling off the pitch. Haven for example are getting some pretty dire crowds. Just over 300 against Toulouse. I can see them going belly up before the season's out.
