WANDERERS getting knocked out of the cup could be a blessing in disguise as all they need to concentrate on now is staying in the Premiership.

I know that a good run in the FA Cup could have been a bonus in terms of revenue to spend on players, but this was not to be.

I also hope that the Michael Ricketts saga can be settled once and for all. It must very unsettling in the dressing room not knowing what is happening as to whether he is staying or going.

There were all kinds of rumours going round the Reebok on Saturday, some saying that he had already signed for Spurs or Middlesbrough.

We have enough quality players in our team to stop the slide back into the First Division, but perhaps, with the addition of one or two more players, this can be avoided.
