Who is good enough [to retain]?

[TSANHO]

Maynard - No

Bass - Yes
Slocombe - No
Miller - Who knows

Macari - No
Gordon - No
Tsaroulla - maybe
Platt - Yes
Bedeau - Yes
Chicksen - No
Cameron - No
Ness - Who knows
Cundy - No
McDonald - No

Jones - Yes
Palmer - Not in this system
Robertson - God knows, made of glass
Grant - No. still don?t know what he actually does
Whitaker - God no
Jarvis - Yes
Abbott - Yes, but not with us
Edwards - No, was wrong big time on him

Jatta - Not sure. Can?t trap a bag of cement
Didzy - Yes but body is letting go now
Traore - Doesn?t look like it
Morias - Obviously doesn?t fit

I think in another system some of those players could work, but it?s a pretty depressing list. May have even missed some out. To be fair I think some of the players are much better but have been let down by poor man management and tactics.

Sadly I'd agree with this list. I'm not even sure Tsaroulla is up to It. It doesn't leave us with much does it? Let's hope our new Italian has a few aces up his sleeve because our transfer business needs a rethink.

Pompey and orient fans don't seem to think much of him though...

Not sure Jones or Jarvis are good enough as inverted wing backs - let's hope they aren't asked to do that next season! Really we need to find a way to use Jones as a no 10 in a free role.

Them 2 would be absolutely perfect in a 433 and if they?re both on the books August I?d suggest changing to that system solely because of that. I?d stick Beadau and Platt CB, Macari would be fine at RB, Tarsollou could possibly do a job at LB, Bass fine, Jatta at the top and maybe you have a starting point.

I agree with that. We've gone from having a handful of genuine stars who should be playing higher up the pyramid to having maybe one, but he's injury-prone and constantly played out of position. Jones is a wide forward or winger. I'm cool with him playing on the right and cutting in, but he needs to be on the ball where he can do more damage.

Way too many average players in our squad. Way too many lightweight players who don't affect the game enough. Not enough big personalities.

Oh and Jatta is good enough. He scored 20 goals and is the second top scorer in the league. He's just out of form, as is the entire team.

So you want to get rid of a 20+ goal striker because he is out of form at present? Be careful what you wish for they are very hard to come by. His strength is running onto the through ball which since Crowley left is in very short supply. Harland and Palmer have lost form regarding scoring but you won't hear many City and Chelsea fans wanting them gone.

I don't want to get rid of Jatta. He has been poor since January, but then we haven't played to his strengths. I'm not sure he will be here in August though, if the teams who were interested in him haven't been put off.

We haven’t had anywhere near enough 7/10 performers this season who you could rely upon week after week - only Bass, Bedeau, Platt, Abbott and Didzy, and even some of them tailed off towards the end.

The wing backs have been consistent only in their inconsistency and injuries - a big downgrade from the LW era, where they were either scoring (Chicksen/Jones) or creating (Nemane/Jones) for fun. How many goals or assists have this season’s wing backs contributed?

We’re lacking pace, muscle and athleticism throughout the side - whatever happens with the head coach, the new head of recruitment may be the most important person at Notts this summer as we’re going nowhere (upwards) without fixing that.

I think a 4231 would work.Jones and Jarvis wide but not wing backs.Didsy No 10 off Jatta.Macari right back Bedeau left back.Platt and another centre backs.What we badly need is a midfield cruncher and a goalscoring creative midfield player.Also fitness of key players is another issue.

It's what we've been crying out for ages. We're trying to get Jones, who after three major injuries (two of which could have ended his career) to run potentially more distance than anyone else in the squad. For WB's you need players who've enough work rate and stamina to run, be technically skilled to get past opponents and be dilligent and strong to cover defensively (same if they're inverted). I like Jones and he's better up the pitch than defensively, same most likely with Jarvis (although I've not seen enough to form a proper opinion.
