Rumours about Rohl leaving will always do the rounds, and to be fair you can see why people talk about family ties in Germany. Personally I don't think he will go, but whether he stays or not the focus has to be on what happens next — on the team, the selection and the summer rebuild.

Sunday highlighted a familiar problem: choices in the starting eleven and a lack of work off the ball. Gassama and Aasgaard are clearly talented, you can see their quality on the ball, but both have been culpable for lapses without it. That off-the-ball laziness has cost us in more than one game this season. It's not about trashing players, it's about honest selection. If lads aren't prepared to close, press and track runners for 90 minutes then they shouldn't be first names on the teamsheet.

Where Rohl stands with supporters matters. There's a majority behind him and he needs that backing — especially when things aren't perfect. I'm with you: I've been unsure from the start and I haven't done a full U-turn. But hope remains that he can get it right, and I'd be delighted to be proved wrong. The atmosphere from the fans can make a difference. Give him the room to sort things, but expect clarity in selection and a defined approach on the pitch.

Summer will be huge. We have a raft of loans returning, a few players out of contract and names linked to us that excite fans. What matters is structure: bring in experienced, combative midfielders, clear out the deadwood and stop relying on flashes of individual brilliance to paper over holes. If recruitment is smart and the manager gets more control over signings and the shape he wants, there's reason to think we can address the problems.

We'll all be gutted if the season ends empty-handed, but the truth is the summer offers a chance to reset. Do that properly and we go into next campaign much better placed.
