Others who I think will do OK are: Iorfa Bannan Luongo Dunkley Palmer Dele Bashiru Not sure about Green. I’m not entirely convinced many of those players above will still be with us as they could have get out clauses should we be relegated - especially those that have signed contracts following the points deduction. Even if we keep all the above listed players, I think we’d need 6-8 to push for the play-offs. I hope theyve all got get out clauses lol. I cant see many, if any, activating them, as no one would take them on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Westwood, Lees, reach, Hutchinson, should all be released. Bannan sold Why anyone would wanna keep these losers is beyond me. That some other mug pay their wages. People have a go at DC for overspending then want to offer ridiculous wages to past it players. Time to think for the future and get players who are looking up, not a set of losers looking for another pay day 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 We go down then even some in contract will move on. I think Bannan’s decision to extend his contract was a token gesture on the proviso he can leave if we’re relegated? The likes of Luongo, Borner and Iorfa would attract interest from elsewhere. Even some clubs in the championship would still come in for Paterson. Come the start of next season our starting eleven in League one will look very different to the starting eleven on the opening day of this season.

Guess we have to hope that they all adapt, but certainly Bannan and Iorfa look overqualified. The big worry is, we have exactly the same problem as we had last summer, in that we are again looking for 3 or 4 strikers. Yes. Because the problem was not addressed last summer. I said at the time our current squad scored less than thirty goals between them last season ( for whichever club) and hey presto how many goals have we scored this season. People said at the time the goals will come from all over the pitch. Have they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 League One typically has a more physical demanding approach so I’d like us to be rid of many of the fans favourites that are just not up to the fight. Players I’d like us to keep include: Dunkley, Iorfa, Urhoghide, Penney, Shaw, FDB, Windass Indifferent on Green, Paterson, Palmer, Joey, Wildsmith, Dawson The rest can go.

So you’d keep Dunkley ( injures) iorfa( injured) urgohide ( agree) penney ( awful) shaw( signed for Celtic and more reds than hutch) FDB ( never plays) Windass agree of your indifferent ones five out of the six have failed to hold down a place and the other only plays because we haven’t got a striker. All of those players will struggle to get clubs in the championship. Yet you would get rid of Westwood Reach Lees and Hutch who will all sign for teams higher up the league than us.?

Bannofan Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Difficult to say, on paper most of them should be good enough. Question is, do they and stay and sulk ,or do we try and get rid? Bannan and Reach will definitely think they are too good for league 1, and quite frankly I wouldn't them here next year. You never know which players will be happy to still have a job , it's not easy picking up a club based on how good you think you are. At this level and below, it's as much about attitude as it is ability. Only Moore and his staff will really know who's up for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeadonowl Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Personally don’t think Bannan will leave Get the impression that he’s now moved into the area he wants to finish his career at the club D.C. will want a fee for him and I can’t see much money changing hands in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, when people look at our squad on paper (pundits etc) they feel our squad is good enough for the championship never mind league 1. But it’s never that simple, certainly not for our club. Attitude plays a massive part in it, our players haven’t bothered to play to their capability this season so trusting them to bother in league 1 is a stretch. Hopefully Moore will motivate them to find some form in league 1, whoever is staying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GK, RB, LB, CM x 3, Winger/CF x 4 That’s true, but signing 10 new players is pretty much impossible. We don’t have to look back too far, to see the difficulties of replacing that many. Last summer, we managed to bring in 8, and how many of them could be deemed a success? Needing so many, it was never going to be easy, and failure to recruit adequately has effectively relegated us. We have stumbled in to a similar situation this season, needing to recruit a completely new striking group. No lessons have been learned. Really you don’t want to be bringing in more than half a dozen new players at once, perhaps 4 starters, and a couple of others to develop. When we had money in years one and two, we brought in far too many players, and although we did have success, Carlos was shrewd enough to keep the nucleus of the side he inherited from Gray. A lot of the signings in year one, and practically all of the signings in year two, were superfluous, and totally unnecessary. We could have replaced about 20 of those signings, with 3 targeted loan signings, and probably had more success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhollywood Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Bannan wont play for us in league 1. He'll have plenty of admirers in the championship so I imagine the contract signing is him doing right by the club so we can at least get a fee for him.

I wouldn’t totally rule out him staying though, although I agree, he won’t be short of offers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
