Time is running out to reach 50 points under this manager and i just can't see where the wins are going to come from.

Why ?
Who in our squad would be in a starter in a top 6 team ?
Keeper - L1
Full backs - we are using midfielders
centre halfs- Goutas maybe but he was great with Kipre with him
CM's - Ralls undoubtedly was, Rambo classes above but father time is a bitch
AMC - Colwill could be premier or conference in the same game, we overestimate Robertson but still very young
Forwards - Ashford is all potential and Salech may be gone if we get relegated
I love CO'D but he wouldn't be a starter
Alves & Manwerk look great and have improved us. But its not a great squad, we are where we are because the squad is pretty poor

Didn't mention top six, but plenty of our squad could make mid table teams (where we should be) especially our midfield players.

But its about averages and thats our problem IMO our genuine class players at this level are at the very end of their careers and we are trying to coax one more game out of them. For every L1 level player we need a top end player to counteract them
If we had to cancel everyone's contract and they were free's I can only see
Robertson, Salech, Chambers, Colwill, Ashford, Goutas, Rinomhota in the top half championship
Ralls & Rambo would be massive gambles at proper wages, other than that maybe CO'D but he isn't a spring chicken and Bagan who is improving whereas NG is regressing.
