With you on this, Whitey, far better to have the rest of this season to take stock of what we have so that informed decisions can be made about who to keep, which positions we need to reinforce, look at possible reinforcements while they still have games to play, see how the loanees do in a County shirt, &c. &c. If we'd had to soldier on with the existing squad to the end of the season and start to build a competitive squad in the close season we'd be starting completely cold in August.
