Taking a leaf from Maidstone

No....not the new striker - although he had all the presence of a leaf considering his stature.

Do we do the same?
Undoubtedly it won't happen under Taylor or else that's him admitting that he got the summer recruitment wrong. Which regardless of budget, I think he did. As said many times over the years, we've always been at our best when we've looked lower down the football pyramid to recruit those hungry, lost gems. Instead, we've largely looked at kids from academies with very little experience of actual mens football bar the odd few game loan. But that's another story.
Today was a joke in that we set up 3-5-2. You just have to read the message boards to see the pelters McMahon has got for reverting to a back 3 this season as they get overloaded so easily from wide. Today was crying out for our 4-3-3. I was actually gobsmacked when I saw we had matched up to their 3-5-2, almost simply to get the new striker in the XI. One of the poorest pieces of management I've seen for a long time.
Taylor has had constraints but I was never sold when he was appointed anyway. Personally, if I'm being brutally honest, I would sack him but i know many would disagree with that.
Out of the current squad, I would only keep Justham, Pennell, Gordan, Goodliffe, Davey, Hoyte, Nunn, Robinson, Romain and Kandi.
I can't comment on Munns and Bellamy yet.
The rest, I would happily bin. If it means i never have to watch Lamar Reynolds pretend to be a winger again or Harry Donovan pass straight to a defender/hit the first man from every corner, it would be worth the budget hit.
