Let him go. Keep Atkinson as third choice CB rather than sending him back to Eastleigh on loan and move Mousinho to caretaker player-manager for the rest of the season. Keep Agyei around as the main backup striker and move Mackie to a player-coach figure who is firmly third choice, rather than seemingly having equal billing with Taylor as the main starter. George Thorne can’t sit down without breaking his pelvis so let him stay on and be in charge of the cones alongside Mr Short, but make sure he doesn’t have to bend down too quickly or he’ll snap a hammy. Fabio Lopes is 18 now so can be integrated into the first team further, and ideally placed in charge of making sure there are always plenty of cans of lager to get the lads going at half time. Nico Jones can rotate with him in a few weeks when he also becomes a legal adult.
Stronger together.
