Assuming we stay in this division (which I know is dodgy ground at the moment, but let's hope!)

 

Who would you...?

 

definitely keep

 

Maybe for the future (no golden oldies!)

 

Get rid of immediately

 

I'm not sure of contract situations, but i'm sure people will enlighten me as this thread goes along.

 

Keep - Thompson, Adams, Noble, Jones, Carroll 

 

Get Rid - Murray, Whitehouse

 

Maybe - Bajner, Drissa, Dumbuya, Wroe, Mckenzie 

 

A lot of the maybes are there just because they've not really had a chance, I reckon Dumbuya will be gone in the summer though don't think Shaun seems very keen on him. 

We should keep Murray, with Spencer back and the addition of some new players he will be a force for us again IMO.

If our budget is bigger next season, I would cut down where it wouldn't be risky and replace with quality, try to avoid assembling a whole new squad! Lets just get rid of the passengers.

I'd can most of them tbh. The only ones worth keeping are;

Carroll, both of the Thompsons, Spencer, JCR & McCourt. I'd also keep Dumbuya but I just can't see it happening tbh.

Traore, McKenzie, Adams, Hollis, Bajner & Wroe are maybe's.

The rest are simply not worth hanging on to - if it was up to me I wouldn't waste money on Bajner, he's never going to score goals or Hollis, average pub player. Age will do for Jones, Mullins, Smith & Edwards - if we have to rely on any of them it really is time to pack up.

I can pass judgement but I will be relying on opinions, so keep posting!

i would get rid of adams, he was awful on saturday and does show any signs of being a decent left back.

i would also get rid of whitehouse, keane as they have not done much.

GK Roy Carroll - Keep - Could probably do another year. 

DF Mustapha Dumbuya - Maybe - Wage demands

Blair Adams - Keep

Alan Smith- Release - Age/ability

Hayden Mullins - Release - Age

Haydn Hollis - Keep - Squad player

Will Hayhurst - Maybe - No idea

Nicky Wroe  - Maybe - See above

Jimmy Spencer - Keep - Let us hope he is the same player before his injury.

Ronan Murray - Keep - Bring back the Murray of last season

Garry Thompson - Maybe - Getting on a bit, could be a useful squad player.

Sean Newton - Maybe - No idea

Gary Jones- Release - Age and position played, too much running needed. 

Taylor McKenzie - Maybe - Who knows

Curtis Thompson - Keep

Liam Noble - Release - Can't keep his head in the game and isn't an outstanding player whom you could forgive his frequent bookings.

Greg Tempest - Maybe - No idea

Billy Daniels - Maybe - See above

Cieron Keane  - Maybe - See above

Brad McGowan - Maybe - See above

Fabian Spiess - Maybe - See above

MF Drissa Traoré - Maybe - See above

Elliott Whitehouse - Maybe - See above

Bálint Bajner - Keep - Could offer something different from the bench.

Mike Edwards - Stays on as staff

Colby Bishop - Maybe - No idea

Kevin Pilkington - Stays on as staff


That is 7 keeps, with the majority being squad/bench players. SD needs to do a lot of signing in the off-season. Most of the maybes are because we haven't seen them. 
 

For the record, last year I wanted to keep 9 of them, and majority were first team players. Bit depressing really, we've gone sideways, if not backwards. 

I think we will hold onto these players anyway as they are contracted until 2016:

 

Ronan Murray

Liam Noble

Nicky Wroe

Blair Adams

Haydn Hollis

Will Hayhurst

James Spencer

Taylor McKenzie

Billy Daniels

God help us then!

What an assortment - one excellent, some good, mostly bad & utter rubbish.

I would weigh up who we can bring in before we offload any players, we might have the problem that we allow players go who could do better settled in. Plus what quality comes in from here is going to be interesting.

Release only the players who have not made the grade and can easily be replaced.

No idea who to suggest those are though!
