Today we give a first start to Josh Thompson, 18 year old defender who apparently some big clubs have an eye on. He's not ready to be thrown into a relegation battle, but it's all about cash flow now, we're not going to be able to resist any offers in the summer - clearly the reasoning is a few first team starts will boost the fee we get.
The second half of this season is weird because for weeks County fans have been mentally deducting 10 and watching the situation at the bottom. After being 5th at Christmas when the whispers of administration started, then the severe thinning of the squad in January that validated those rumours, plus another first team regular has just left in the loan window. So this set of results is quite a relief because the players we're left with aren't going to pick up many more results - we lost the last three before today and we're also about to lose the next three. People are saying 50 points should be enough for safety but, bizarrely, since passing that tally in February our form's been so bad it seems like it's going to be beyond us.
