GK:
Loach - Release - Need a more commanding number 1
Minter - Release - Want a stronger back up (ideally not a massive wage still) that will challenge
Defence:
Grimes - Retain - Adequate squad player
Gunning - Release - Tough one as is good and brilliant leader however, hope we could bring an alternative in who is younger and less injury prone. Also feel GG may want to re join JR...
Williams - Release - Feel there is much better out there, I wouldn't be against him as a squad player though
Kerr - Release - Not good enough
Maguire - Retain - Would be fine as a squad player but not a starter
Carline - Retain - Plenty good enough if can make full recovery from injury
Hollis - Release- Not good enough
Croll - Release - Tough one, very good but has history of injuries from before and during time with us. Need less injury prone players
King - Retain - Can be a good player but needs to improve discipline and consistency
Whittle - Retain - Mr (7/10) all weeks
Midfield:
Weston - Release - Been poor for too long
Oyeleke - Retain - Quality player who dictates a game, although has injury problems I feel he justifies his retention
Mccourt - Release - Ok squad player but feel there's better out there
Kellerman - Release - Runs a lot but does little
Miller - Release - Please for the love of god someone take him, showed some promise but has annoyed me to no end with his lack of end product, lack of bottle and lack of brain
Khan - Retain - Really hope he gets more game time as he is one of few dynamic players we have
Clarke - Retain - Really hope he can recover from his injury, looks a real talent
Whelan - Retain - Think he will be a fine squad player
Rowley - Release - Needs a new club, never going to happen here sadly
Mandeville - Release - Far too inconsistent, we need better if we are to get out of this league
Attack:
Kabongo - Retain - If at all possible
Asante - Release - Feel he will want to go to JR and I personally don't rate him, poor touch and has lost his pace
Denton - Release - As long as Dents plays for us we have no chance of promotion
Tyson - Release - OAP
Rowe - Retain - Hope he can get back to his best after illness
Quigley - Release - Poor footballer, can only pray someone will have him
So that leaves...
GK:
Defence: Grimes, Maguire, Carline, Whittle, King
Midfield: Oyeleke, Whelan, Khan, Clarke
Attack: Kabongo, Rowe
Some of the players that you want to release have contracts that run to June 23 and even June 24. You really propose that the Club pays them up, leaving us to run with a very thin squad?
