    Our squad

    There's a long way to go before we know which division we will be in next season.
    If it is the championship. Who from our squad (Inc loans) is good enough and where would you strengthen?.

    My conclusion.
    Iverson. Maybe! He looked a bit iffy and nervous a few games before the season ended. Looked solid prior the that.

    Jones. No. Solid when fit but age and pace is against him
    Thompson. Yes. Like his energy and commitment. Would do a job.
    Olosunde. Maybe. Still raw and better going forward than defending. Good backup for Thompson.

    Wood. No. League one is his level. Pace always gets him in champ.

    Ike. Yes. Solid pacey. Reads the game well. Arial presence is his weak link.

    Robertson. Yes. Reminds me of Morgan. Solid and smart defender.

    Tilt. Maybe. Could be owt.

    Mattock. Mmm yes ish? Best season 2 year ago when we were last in the champ. Injury's over last 12 month a worry.

    Cooper. No. Needs league one/two loan to develop more.

    Chio. Yes. Fearless. Will scare the sht out of champ defenders.

    Wiles. Yes. If he developes like he has over the past 2 season he will be good. He's possiblity a better champ player than league one.

    Crooks. Yes. Has everything to play at champ level. Attacking midfielder is when he's looked at his best.

    Linsey. No. He looked league one at best. He doesn't have anything that's stand out except hard working.

    Barlaser. Yes. The only thing he lacks is pace. Has the rest to succeed.

    Clarke. No. Needs LGE 1 loan to develop.

    McDonald. No. At his best he's a yes though age is not on his side..

    Adeluken. No. Not shown enough pace or skill wise to play higher up the league's.

    Koroma. No. Looked like a 17 year old very raw and little return. More game time was needed to get a better assessment.

    Grafton. No. Non league loan needed to develop.

    Smith. Yes/no. Not a goal scorer, good strong frontman. We need better to stay in champ.

    Vassell. No. 4 goals after Xmas blurred what he's done for the miller's. Injury prone (even before signing for us).

    Ladapo. Yes. Needs to offer more off the ball. Only natural goal scorer we have.


    I know before the glass half empty folk reply, in warne we trust, and we're not in champ yet, and there contracted so will still be here..
    9 yes plus 3 maybe imo.

    There's two young lads who played for Steve Evans at Gillingham this past season. One was on loan from Spurs.
    One is a left-back the other one is also a defender, not sure what position.
    Both are worth looking at. Imo.

    I've more or less written 20 / 21 season off unless something dramatic happens.

    Our best “performer” has been left off the list.

    And that’s stability.

    Football will be in turmoil if and when it restarts, the loan market will be a shambles, there will be a glut of dumped players. We seem to be ok when it comes to putting up a team, our manager and training facilities will give us a fit squad and players will be happy to play at NYS because of our financial stability.

    We should be fine

    Iversen. Agree, I’d look for another personally.
    Jones. If keeps fit a good back up
    Thompson. agree
    Olosunde. Yes
    Wood. Move him into coaching
    Ihiekwe. Yes
    Robertson. Not sure 90+ every game but keep him
    Tilt. Hopeful
    Mattock. Injury free maybe but personally I’d be looking for his replacement or getting his replacement up to standard
    Ogbene Yes
    Wiles. Needs regularity
    Crooks. Yes but he will have off days
    Lindsay maybe
    Barlaser yes
    Clarke, rubbish in his last game I saw but think maybe he was under the weather (Bug going round) so have him benefit of doubt because I saw him play better before but haven’t seen enough so maybe
    McDonald back up maybe
    Adelakun. He’s definitely got something but is it enough? hopeful
    Koroma. Get used to our style then I think it’s a yes
    Smith yes
    Vassell yes
    Ladapo yes (heard he wanted to move one, let’s hope it was BS)
    Price L1 yes, championship No
    Bilboe no idea what he can do.
    Yates. Let him go
    Kayode, seems to have been here forever maybe time to let him go
    Gratton future
    Cooper future

    webhave some out on loan, think maybe let them go but Keep Lamy
    Palmer, Proctor any others on loan?
    Hinds?

    Just to remind you we should be in the championship next season not going down to league 2! For that needs players good enough for that or have the potential to be. Need squad for that get shut not good enough.
