Me personally,

Woodsy, At least we have one midfielder that puts his foot in now and then not scared of a 50/50.

Oatesy , Can play down the middle and both wings so a bit of versatility doesn't go a miss.

Franksy, Again can play down the middle and both wings and gets a few goals here and there.

Scott Loach, Should be playing at a higher level got knows how he isn't, I'm dreading January.

Ermmmmm struggling here, Maybe Deverdics for his left foot and the odd half decent free kick, Rodney has potential but clearly not showing it.


Can't think of anyone else that springs to mind, Maybe I should be beaten with a shamestick for this thread then maybe not but football is a game off opinions and this is mine.

Feel free to add any who you would keep or keep for next season.

Loach Franks Deverdics Oates Magney Donnerly Watson

Anyone I can put sy on the end of the name

Gunna have to let loach go. Loachsy just don’t sound right

Woodsy n franksy a must.

Deverdicsy your cut

I'd agree with keeping adeyole same as Phil said just purely based on that half hour i seen him play.

Would anyone consider keepin jack munns? Full of energy like runs around a lot wasn't he also in the Cheltenham team that went up? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Loach, Laing, Donnelly, Simpson, Hawkes, Adams, Donaldson

Not sure whether you're taking the piss or not with at least three of those...

No I'm not. I think there is a decent player in there with Laing and Adams. Both have been outstanding when playing against us in the past. Its our piss poor club that brings the worst out in players. The question set by the OP was WHO WOULD YOU KEEP?. I believe a good manager with the right staff at a forward thinking club with a strategy in place would be able to get these players playing. The fact they are turning in Sunday League performances at the moment at a club that is run like a Sunday League club has nothing to do with the reason why I picked them.

We kept loads of failures from last season and things have just got worse .... How would keeping any of this year's failures work out any different?

As I have said, my inclusion of Laing is based on what I think he could become not on this seasons performances, which I agree have been chronic. His outstanding performance v us was for Notts County. Agree Burgess and Jackson were and are better players but not sure what that has to do with it like. I rate Ledger highly but never included him as he is on loan, I would keep him if loans are allowed , but he is never going to sign for us anyway, Watson exactly type of player we need but concerns about injury record so wouldn't keep.

Lets hear who you would keep then Chip? its easy to criticise.

Loach, Magnay, Adams, Watson, Featherstone, Newton & Franks.

Why the hell people are wanting to keep Oates I'll never know.

Loach, Magnay, Watson, Ledger, Featherstone, Deverdics, Franks.

Forgot about Richardson, I will add him to my list as well.

I thought about Featherstone but decided against it. I think keeper is overated , but believe at this level you'll be lucky to get an 8/10 keeper every week, think if outfield players are good you could get away with an average keeper. Was in two minds about Donaldson as well , but gave him the benefit of the doubt. At end of the day on current form apart from keeper you could bin them all , but we know to replace them with 18 or 19 new signings is unrealistic. It had to be a slow, gradual process, get rid of 4 or 5 and bring in 1 or 2 better players with a combined wage say that would equal the 4 or 5 that were let go. The fact we never did that from 2010 onwards was part of the reason we are now in the cack on the field.

A better question would of been , which 10 of current squad would you get rid of. We need a squad of 18-20 players who are settled, involved every week and have a history of playing between 35 -50 games a season at previous clubs , with a good mix of ages , 2 or 3 , 18-21 year olds, 5 or 6 in mid twenties and a couple over 30. Its not rocket science but seems to allude every recent manager.

"..... to replace them with 18 or 19 new signings is unrealistic."

Dover did exactly that earlier this year and hit the ground running in the first game against Pools.

I’m always sceptical about rating a player because he had a good game against us in the last five or six years for obvious reasons.

Take away Featherstone and Simpson from Chips retained list and you have my choice although I appreciate that it’s all mince pie in the firkin sky.

Just Blackford

The groundsman.

The Groundsman should be the first one out of the door imo.

These cloggers have excelled playing against us on our bowling green of a playing surface.

I say get rid and replace him with the Groundsman from Workington

The Groundsman from the Rec isent very good but you see some right hard bastards on there who take no shit.
Maybe sign a few of them and replace our stars.
Star = Mail jornalism for someone who has two decent games in a row.

I don’t take the Mail seriously. The usual guff about everyone up for it and other bollocks is just tedious.

Theres a story on the mail front page today saying they believe they can still make the play offs.. with a picture of paddy amond.

When you read the reports, it’s like they were written by a sub contracted political journalist in Vietnam whose only reference material is old programmes posted to him.

That sounds slightly familiar!!!!

Pure coincidence, I knooooow nothing.

Sadly I would keep very few just

Kenton Richardson
Liam Donnelly
Yes Featherstone
Woods
Simpson

Scatter everyone else

Sorry forgot to add I would Keep Franks because he works hard
