How many of the current squad would you keep?

Spot on. He's got lots of goals in a poor team. With better players he could get 25+ goals next season.

 

Russell one of top goal scorers in L1?

 

Phillips played today like a man who knows where his next move is to. Mael isn't good enough and should go, Roberts looks knackered but on his day is still well above the rest, if he stays he needs cover with pace. Why didn't we play some fringe players instead of Dexter. Cotter started out of position why? DKD will be sold, I think Watters is a £500k Player, we should pay someone £500k to take him. Russell will stay and I think Connell will also stay..Bring Lofthouse, Lopata and Shepard back and please buy a forward not a converted Winger/attacking midfielder. Sack Sormez ( Yes I say this a lot)

 

I said it a few hours ago in the match thread - academy lads aside, I wouldn’t bat an eyelid if they were all gone by the time August arrives.

 

DKD, but there's no chance.

Rest can do one.

 

Lembikisa and Rodrigues aren't our players and Mccarthy is out of contract.

 

Build around the following

Smith as back up keeper

Lofthouse maybe

Roberts

Earl

Lopata maybe

Shepherd unless Bradford make an offer

Russell

Bland

Yoganathan

Nwakali

Jalo

DKD

Humphrys

Jalo



Flavell loan out

Gent loan out

Mccarthy out of contract

Benson out of contract

Pines out of contract

Marsh out of contract

Cosgrove out of contract

Lewis out of contract

Gauci end of loan

Lembikisa end of loan

Rodrigues end of loan

MDG sell

Cotter sell

O'Keefe sell

Dallas sell

Phillips sell to highest bid

Connell sell to highest bid

Farrugia unsure

 

I know but they are part of the squad but wouldn't be following their loans up or renewing

 

But this is just unrealistic mate. I know that wasn't the question asked, but realistically what do you think?

 

Nwakali would be one of the first id get rid off, especially if his wages are what got reported on here. Exceptional passer, but an exceptional passenger too. Especially when we need to dig in when under the cosh, he gets ran past as though he isn't even there. His shooting is very poor, defensively he's shocking. Hed be wonderful in a league 1 pep version of a team, pass pass pass, but we aren't that. Maybe if we had some pace and willing runners it would help

 

I wouldnt get rid, but he needs to play in attacking midfield with plenty of cover behind him because he's atrocious defensively. He has brilliant technique, great at shooting, so personally I'd try and tailor the squad around him, let him be our talisman and accommodate him- assuming Phillips is leaving that is.
