With Eddie Newton and Ade Mafe having left with RDM, we would seem to have no fitness coach and be a first team coach down too at present. Therefore, given our situation, should we bringing another coach in (probably someone who Hodgson has worked with before) or hope that Downing can do a good enough job on secondment from the youth team? Remember that Appy was already a first team coach.
Personally I think we should be looking to bring 2 new coaches in (1 of whom is a fitness coach) and the sooner the better, otherwise I worry that there will be too much pressure on those already at the club.
