If i was Manager - players get rid of + other plans.

[GT49er]

Keepers: Kuipers and Sullivan.
Defenders: Whing, Virgo, Elphick, Hinshelwood, McNulty, Borrowdale* and Cook.
Midfield: Fraser, Dicker*, Loft, El Abd, Cox and Carole.
Foewards: Forster, Murray, Hart, Davies, Owusu* and Gargan.

* if we can get a deal to sign them.

The rest can go to anyone who wants them, or back to their own clubs if they're loanees - though I would consider arguments in favour of keeping Bangura and Andrew.
That might be too many forwards, but bear in mind we'll probably be luckt to get twenty games out of Forster and Murray between them.

Add a quality midfielder, a winger who can go past people and centre, and maybe an experienced defender (not another Hawkins or Heath, though). Ideally people with Premiership experience who are past their Premiership sell-by date but who want a couple more seasons playing before they hang their boots up. Scholes or Butt would be good! We should have grabbed Ivan Campo while he was still a free agent earlier this season!
Now they're relegated, we could do worse than go for Diagouraga from Hereford - he was the only class player they had when we beat them at Edgar Street - but he always seemed to attract the ball like a magnet in a deep midfield role, and have time to spare to pass it.

GKs: Kuipers, Sullivan

Defenders: Whing, Elphick, Lynch, Virgo, Mcnulty, Hinshelwood.

Midfielders: Cox, Loft, Fraser

Strikers: Forster, Murray, Davies, Hart

If we could find a new midfield, we would have a genuine chance of promotion next year I belive.

Firstly we need Dicker, class above the rest of the midfield.
We also need atleast one natural winger who can take players on and get crosses into the box, and a box to box attacking central midfielder. These players aren't easy to get though.

I'd also have Bangura but think he may be out of our price range...

I would KEEP:
GKs - Michel, Sullivan
DFs - Whing, Elphick, Virgo, McNulty, Lynch
MFs - Cox, Dicker (permanent deal), Loft, McLeod, Livermore
FWs - Murray, Forster, Davies, Owusu/Hart

I would RELEASE:
- Mayo, Fraser, Hinshelwood, Carole, Jarrett, Birchall

I would look to SELL (for free obviously):
- El Abd, Hawkins, Dixon

I would then SIGN:
- 1 x experienced centre back
- 1 utility player with more talent than El Abd (shouldn't be hard to find)
- 1 x winger who can beat a man and cross a ball
- 2 x central midfielders, 1 creative, 1 holding

Get rid of El Abd for free? Have you finally lost it mate??

Agree with Mayo, Fraser, Carole. Jarrett, Birchill, Hawkins & Dixon though.

This is a thread asking for opinions, so I'm going to give mine, it's expected. (You know who you are.)

My squad for next season would be;
Goalkeepers - Kuipers and Sullivan.
Defenders - McNulty, Whing, Hinshelwood, Elphick, Virgo + Amankwaah (Swindon), Frampton (Millwall) and Craddock (Wolves),
Midfielders - Cox, Loft, Dicker + Robson (Hartlepool), Collins (Huddersfield), Grant (Southend) and Timlin (Swindon)
Forwards - Murray, Forster, Hart, Davies, Gargan.

I would be very happy with that squad.

Replace Gargan with the lord owusu and then i agree although Craddock is a bit out of are league.

 

[CHAPPERS]

That's really hard to read.

Frampton has just signed a new deal at Millwall and got their player of te season award.

some people clearly live here

El Abd, the reason id give for keeping him, is he works hard when on the field, also a Brighton born lad and therefore cares, yes he is not the most talented player, but he also is happy to play a variety of different positions, none that well, but i bet is on cheap wages and is a good player to have on bench or in need of replacing injuried banned players for a short period.
I can totally understand why people saying to keep Dicker, as has been good in midfield in this good run, but the reason i said maybe not to keep is that our midfield still seems very weak even in this good run of points, but maybe that is due to Loft and Fraser.
I have been impressed with the never give up attitude of the midfield and has definately got us some points gained at end of the season, but to move forward, im not to sure about.
To sign Dicker i guess need to know how much they want for him, as i wouldnt be keen for us to spend in region of £100,000 plus on him, as i feel we could spend thay money on other players in midfield, as i feel we need a whole new line up apart from Cox.
Getting nervous for Saturday now, as just hope we can finish the job off and then forget this season.
Come on boys

Keep: Kuipers/Sullivan - Would maybe like to see Sullivan get a full season of Conference or League Two if any would take him. Kuipers has not been so good this season so maybe look for a real (younger) competitor.

Keep: Whing, Elphick, Lynch, McNulty, Hinshelwood
Maybe controversial but if I could keep Lynch and get money for Virgo I would.
Get rid of El-Abd, Mayo, and Hawkins.

Midfield is the area most in need of changes. I think Dicker has come very good after a slow start and would sign him in a flash. Rest of the loanees/short terms can go (and fatty McLeod). The only one I'm not sure about is Carole, who was brilliant to start with but fell away under White and has not had a look in under Slade. Despite the oft repeated "no end product" claim he set up loads of goals. I think he's worth a short term offer to try and get something from him. Fraser and Loft have done well in the diamond roles, maybe worth keeping for cheap backup, we need to sign at least two players for the middle though, Dicker is one.
Keep: Cox, Dicker, MAYBE Livermore, Fraser, Loft

Keep: Forster, Murray, Owusu, Davies
The rest can go.

Yes agree with most of that but sure Lynch will go to Forest permanently. The priority must be to sign a captain as we badly need some leadership on the pitch. We have been devoid of this sort of player for a long time. Agree that Dicker looks a class act and think we stand a very good chance of getting him. Hart has confounded all the critics and if Slade stays on he'll surely be offered another year. We'll also need a left-back, perhaps on loan, as McNulty won't be ready for the start of next season. Borrowdale has done well and should be offered a short term deal/loan.

 

[willyfantastic]

mine would be

Goalkeepers - Kuipers / Sullivan - no changes needed

Defenders - McNulty / Virgo / Elphick / hinshelwood / Whing / Lynch (if hes willing to stay) - Every1 else can go to free up wages, and cos they are donkeys

Midfielders - Dicker / Loft / Cox / Carole / Fraser (if we cant get any1 better) - need to really invest in good midfielders as we are lacking, and half the time seem to just bypass the midfield

Strikers - Murray / Owusu / Forster / Davies / Robinson(flair) - Dont need anything else, rest can go
