[QUOTE="Chief Pete, post: 904909, member: 75254"] I think Chiefs and especially Rob Baxter got caught between two trains of thought last summer, on one hand a small well run club who pride's itself on bringing through youth, the community and living within it's means etc, on the other your going into the new season as defending premiership champions, which means maybe going against some of the ideals which got you there in the first place, in the end our recruitment was pretty poor given our gravitas at the time and our biggest name signing Matt Kvesic struggled although I still think he'll come good. Hopefully I'd like to see the squad get trimmed of the fat, at least 15 players phased out, with players of the standard of Attwood and Morgan coming in, along with the odd vet and promising youngster coming in. As for the Nowell position debate I'd like to see him given a go at 13 with Slade at 12, I think playing him at 13 would hide his deficiencies and give him the best platform to use his skillset.
