    No one in the boardroom having a clue on contracts.
    Rob Scott ( ex-director of football, after Steve Evans came back to the club, & decided who he wanted to recruit ), Scott not pulled many trees up has to getting the right players in, after being demoted back to recruitment.
    So who will decide on what players we should offer a contract to, surely not many who's contract runs out end of the season.
    Kayode & a lot more need to get shut of.
    Luckily we have Sam Nombe under contract for 1 more year, unless the club decide to sell.
    The club is under a cloud, relegation on the horizon.
    Needed
    Someone with football knowledge on the board, a decent full time medical team.
    Someone to act on contracts, knowing the system.
    Quite simple - the players will be the ones to decide, clubs have very little input nowadays just look at Humphries and Odoffin from last season how they strung us on until they got fixed up !

    Yearwood
    Powell
    Hall
    Martha

    Clearing out the old pros and want aways (there are probably some of those in my list too).

    It's going to be a busy summer for the manager, whoever that might be.


    Out of those Douglas, Powell & Hall keep. Rest move on.

    Would agree with those 3 and possibly Spence if we go down. The big problem of course is moving out the rest of them because certainly no one will want to buy them.

    It is easier to say who I think has made an impact, can be an asset. Problem is that Gore is not our player, Nombe is probably going to be sold. Powell has started to wain or be injured. I cannot see Gray being allowed back.
    Cann is a great understudy, done well.

    Beyond that, who really has shown any reasonable consistency, is not past 29, does not easily get injured, is not a loan player.

    Doesn?t leave much. And Hall and Martha have shown to be passengers on far too many occasions.

    So there is my answer Brin, go smirk. Or name your own list.
    No smirking from me at all and you've put how I also see it. Very depressing ain't it?

    It's a complete makeover for whoever gets the job full time close season. Maybe Clarke can get something out of the dire situation and impress TS enough to tak on the task next season.

    I think i’m getting techie, it is depressing. In my summing up I didn’t even think of people like spence, kaleta etc, I found when they actually were fit enough to play they made so little impression. Forgettable.

    The only two loans I would have back is gore and gray.

    As pointed out, we cannot inc loans as retained by offer, so who would you offer a contract to who was OOC?

    As for players IN contract, who i?d like to find another home is Martha. Currently in Australia on a bench for a friendly against china.

    Missing the extra special tactical workouts at roundwood. (Spot the irony)

    Balmy.

    Tell him to stay there. Start world cup training early. Wouldn't be missed!

    Providing it was definitely in League 2 I'd offer Rafferty another year but 'strictly' playing as a right back only.

    Powell - he's worth another crack and can deliver well on his day, maybe League 2 might sort his style of football.

    Jules is solid but, another injury risk pro? Play him in a back four not a three and I feel we could get more out of him.

    Gardner - more game time required for this lad.

    Ayres - Young and hungry to impress.

    Err.......????? I'm struggling now.

    Easier to say no to the following:

    Dawson
    Benson
    James
    Kelly
    Duncan
    Kayode
    Hugill
    Holmes
    Hatton
    Richardson
    Wilson
    McWilliams
    Clarke
    Watmore
    McGuckin

    Shows how bad it all is then. You don’t even mention Hall or Martha. Nombe.

    I had a nightmare last night. Most of them put a shift in, clarke performed a miracle and contracts were handed out willy nilly and it all went round again.

    Bottom line is i”d hardly keep any of them, or ask back. I’ve never known anything like it in nigh on 50 years.
