    Which of our players would you keep?

    For me from the first team squad it's pinnock, Jackson, lindsay, hammill, isgrove, potts, hedges, moore, thiam. The rest I don't think are capable of making the grade for a league 1 promotion push and even some of those I listed I'm not so sure about​

    Davies- Keep, good goalkeeper on form. Good L1 keeper
    Townsend- Rid, need to bring one GK at least this summer

    McCarthy- Keep, especially as I think Yiadom will go
    Mills- Probably get rid, just no need
    Lindsay- Keep
    Jackson- Keep
    Pinnock- Keep
    Pearson- Keep
    Cavare- Tough call, I like him but does he have the desire to play L1?
    Pinillos- Not sure yet, probably keep
    Fryers- Not sure yet, probably keep
    Yiadom- Would keep but he will go for sure

    Williams- He won't be here next season
    Hammill- I would keep but we will see what the manager thinks
    Moncur- Tough call, I would say keep but it hasn't been a great season for him
    Potts- Keep
    Mahoney- He won't be here next season
    Mallan- Keep
    Knasmullner- Keep
    Isgrove- Keep
    Gardner- He won't be here next season
    Hedges- Another tough call, very hit and miss. Undecided

    McBurnie- I wish
    Bradshaw- Good L1 player but do we want to keep? I'm not sure. Depends if we can bring another striker in
    Thiam- Keep
    Moore- Keep

    On Loan:
    Mowatt- Rid
    McGeehan- Keep, not sure why he was loaned out even
    Mottley-Henry- Keep for future
    Brown- Keep for future
    Bird- Keep for future
    Walton- Keep for future
    Tuton- Rid

    On the whole- I put keeping most. We have a very good L1 squad at present time so don't think I major over-haul would be needed

    Depends entirely on what level are shopping at, if we are not bringing anyone better in I'd keep them all.

    If we went down, I'd be building a side around having Moore and Bradshaw up front with Isgrove and Hammill (plus Hedges) on the wing. All have what it takes to score and create in League 1. The defence would be sound with the choice of centre backs. Centre midfield would need a tough tackling player, which is what we've lacked all season, plus one other. Choose from the multitude. It wouldn't take alot to have a decent side. Sadly Jose seems to think that good wingers and 2 up front is not an option.

    so that final sentence tells me that you are resigned to relegation.

    I am setting my expectations that way, yeah... As much as I do want to stay up. Will be a dogfight between us and Birmingham at this point. 50/50 chance

    Davies- Keep, back-up only
    Townsend- Rid, need to bring one GK at least this summer

    McCarthy- Keep, especially as I think Yiadom will go
    Mills- Keep, bit of experience
    Lindsay- Open to offers, not physical enough
    Jackson- Open to offers, not physical enough
    Pinnock- Keep
    Pearson- Keep
    Cavare- Keep
    Pinillos- Get rid
    Fryers- Not sure yet, probably keep
    Yiadom- Would love to keep

    Williams- Not ours, no chnace of signing in L1
    Hammill- I would keep
    Moncur- Free transfer
    Potts- Keep
    Mahoney- not seen owt from him, not ours anyways
    Mallan- Keep
    Knasmullner- Keep
    Isgrove- Keep
    Gardner- Good riddance
    Hedges- Unibond Premier?

    McBurnie- Norfolk N Chance
    Bradshaw- Should do well in L1, but last year of contract so maybe cash in if any one wants him
    Thiam- I don't comment on Mamdou Thiam
    Moore- Keep

    On Loan:
    Mowatt- See Moncur
    McGeehan- a pre-season may see him being a good player.
    Mottley-Henry- Keep for future
    Brown- Keep for future
    Bird- Release
    Walton- Keep for future
    Tuton- Rid

    Glaringly obvious we will need a new keeper and a a Scowen/Morsy type midfielder...

    I have a feeling it might be a three way fight between us, Brum and Reading for the third relegation spot. It's just a case of who wants it the most:)

    You'd jettison both keepers? Genuine enquiry

    I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the likes of Knasmüllner, Pinillos and Cavaré have a release clause written into their respective contracts. I can’t see any of them playing in League 1 whether we’d like them to or not.

    Keep:-

    Davies
    Yiadom (no chance)
    Jackson
    Lindsay
    Pinnock
    Hammill
    Knasmuellner
    Moore
    McBurnie (no chance)

    Maybe:-

    McGeehan

    The rest can all gladly do one for mine and I'll personally drive Moncur to which ever Conference South side wants him.

    Impossible to make a call because I would keep A TEAM and not individual players (loanees excepted). That assumes positive momentum is built towards the end of the season, or it'd be starting from scratch for me and maybe with a different manager.
    As Balotelli said in interview this week, "Money doesn't give you a team, it allows you to buy great players, but not a team" (wise words for a player that doesn't understand the offside rule :D).
    I agree with Nudge's view on other threads, in that we have the players but not the team right now.

    Although the thread is a good discussion point, it’s hypothetical as we will stay up.
