Most of his signings were certainly poor to say the least.#Beebot wrote:That 2010-11 team under Stimson really was dreadful. McLeod and Kabba (when fit) was a great strike partnership, but the entire defence and midfield (Devera and Marshall apart) was barely NL standard. Can't believe we stayed up that year.
But although they weren’t around for long / sufficiently warrior like, Grant Basey and George Francombe were certainly talented enough. Add those two and you have more than half a decent team in my opinion. And then there is Byrne and Deering.
I suppose in the end the squad did prove to be just about enough but it did seriously lack depth.
