January window, 2026.

The permitted 25 man squad is currently full. We have to get rid (or remove a player from the squad if we can't get rid) before we can sign any incoming players.

Beck has gone back to Liverpool which has allowed nelson back in nw he's recovered from his op. Of the other loanees:

I'd keep Sanderson, 2 dodgy games early season, grew into a steady player, slight form dip last 2 games but you don't become a bad player overnight.

Bobby Clark has grown into the side and has been very good of late. Keep him.

BBD has been, unfortunately, our best option wide right at the moment. Now Brewster seems to be fit again, I'd let BBD go and look for a replacement. He's not set things alight and there has to be a better and cheaper option out there.

David Ozoh. Love the fella, he's good and he's got the potential to be a top player. However, he missed much of last season with injury and has missed 8 of our 21 League games (inlcuding today's) and is still a few weeks away from being ready for selection. Despite all that, and the fact that he's already played more games for us this season than he did in the whole of last season, he's managed (incl today) 23 of 67 League games. I would seriously think of sending him back to Palace if that's possible within the terms of the loan deal. It would be great if he was available for the last 20 games of the season but it's a gamble, especially with his availability record thus far.

CBT. Another with huge potential but I'd let him go. He was injured when we bought him and has stayed that way for much of his time with us. 28 appearances in the 23 months he's been with us and just the 1 goal last season and 1 assist this season. Sorry CBT but you need to make way.

Might Nelson be let go? Looking forward, it has to be a possibility.

Who else might be let go? Nyambe if we continue to play a formation that doesn't require full backs?

The one guarantee to stay is Tommo as he is our only "one of our own".

Be interesting to see what others think of possible January exits that will allow incoming of, hopefully, stronger, fitter and better replacements.

It’s an open secret that Eustace would like to strengthen.
Of the names you mention, Bobby Clark has been decent, never outstanding imo, but is, or was, strongly linked with Celtic in the window.
Agree with you on BBD and Ozoh.
Would happily move CBT and Jackson on if possible. Two poor signings imo.
Nyambe I’d be more reluctant to let go. Good and unlucky player but doesn’t really fit the preferred system.
Nelson is very saleable. Great addition for someone. Be sad to see him go. Been a top signing, but how many CB’s do we need?

Strange and unfamiliar position to be in. If Eustace can reproduce last season’s return for the last three or four months of the season then we’ll be top six candidates. More likely, and even without more additions, we’re arguably on target for mid table mediocrity. What’s the aim? Nothing worse, imo, than fluking promotion when you’re unprepared.
