    January clear out? Who goes?

    So now we need to seriously consider who we let go to reduce this bloated squad of has-beens , never beens and never will be's. Here are my entries to say goodbye top-notch

    Vaughn - passed it and offers nothing in this league
    Brisley - a sad shadow of last year's player
    Duffy - poisonous and not a team player
    Thomas- nothing to excite me and looks overweight
    Ward - temporary stop gap served his purpose
    Hewitt- not looked the player of old and lacking bite nowadays
    Jones - once was good but now looks lost, low on confidence
    Evina- no quality , no end product

    Any others?

    I agree with all those apart from Ward.

    Doesn’t mutual consent mean we basically pay them off? How does that help?

    I think the only player out of contract is Milsom, who I would definitely get rid of - cruel as that may seem. He’s a huge part of the problem in a midfield that gets overrun and bypassed week after week. He now seems incapable of playing a forward pass to a teammate.

    Otherwise, we’re stuck with this bunch of overpaid wasters.

    Given that we can’t influence who leaves, I think it’s better to ask what we need. The problem is it’s a very long list...

    Right back
    Left back
    Ball-winning midfielder
    Box-to-box midfielder
    Passing midfielder
    Pacy, strong target man

    No way in God’s earth are we going to find all of those in one window. When Nolan came in 2 years ago, only half of his signings worked out - Bola, Shola and Grant. The only encouragement from that is that it was enough to turn things around.

    Have we won with Vaughn in the team yet? He supposedly had his best game for us, but that counts for nothing when you still lose. It seems like NA needs to see for himself that it won't work, three managers have tried. In League Two you need to win second balls, with fast closing down and crunching tackles where necessary. That has been the main change since last year, especially since this time last year when we had Yates.

    There may be a mid-table team in the rest of the squad, but not playing 4-5-1 with Vaughn.

    Not playing Vaughn, Hewitt and Milson would be a great start to addressing the problems with the team. Lets give Crawford, Husin and Patching a try. They couldn't do any worse

    So you want to get rid of 6 players that started today? And only 2 players that were not? Jesus Christ. I have seen some drivel written but this tops the lot. You are deluded if a) you think it will happen and b) if the replacements are no worse.

    Realistically it will be players like Husin, Hawkridge, Kellett. You may get your wish with either Duffy or Brisley.

    Vaughn- Offers nothing in this division.
    Brisley- A shadow of last season
    Duffy- As stated above
    Thomas- Not good enough tracking back and helping out inviting too much pressure on left back
    Ward- I would keep
    Hewitt- Not good enough to play Sunday morning football
    Jones- See Hewitt
    Evina- Very poor

    So, many of these players may have started today, and in fact most of them most weeks, but do you see a pattern forming with the starting 11 and the results? That is why I agree with the original post that these players need moving on. The results this season have proved that they are not good enough, and that is with 3 managers so far.
