+1.I'd extend his contract by a year or 2. This summer is going to be interesting, the squad needs overhauling with possibly a bit of a clearout. Much as I rate our first choice front 2, AC and Sakho, they simply just don't play enough and the second string aren't up to the required standard. I don't claim to know who to replace them with but the EPL is all about goals and without a 15/20 goal man teams struggle.
I expect that the Season will be reviewed in a couple of weeks w/ the Board & SS. I'd expect them to be looking at all options re Manager & playing staff though.
Season's generally been a horror for which they all need to take a portion of the blame, along w/ some of the crowd earlier on, stadium management etc, etc.
SS's been tactically naive too many times though & has made some odd in-game decisions along the way, especially w/ regard to subs & in-game management, which has been shambolic all season; although the players, particularly the experienced ones - of which the bulk of the first team are - ought to be accountable for that (probably won't be though).
SS has got it spot on a few times - spuds being the best example, christ knows why we haven't been able to perform like that all season, would've been a straightforward run to the Top 10
.
Hopefully squads not quite on the beach though as two more decent performances will help our final league position & summer recruitment - it's pretty clear where we need additions; plus agree w/ comment re a clear-out, although those that we probably want to shift might struggle to find Clubs due to injury/attitude/being s
t.
Key area though is that the squad & Club need urgent action regarding fitness & injuries - it's a major problem every single season.

It is and didn't Bilic insist on a new surface at the training ground or was a totally new training ground? I seem to remember this was intended to solve the issue? TCEvo said:

It was always the intention to move to Rush Green from Chadwell Heath, they'd sober a fortune on improvements in the previous couple if years and the academy was already over there.The first team just went there a few months earlier than first envisaged.

Antonio voted HOTY last night: http://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2017/may/09-may...
Unsurprisingly AC picked up our Goal of the Season for the belter against palace.
