What sort of team do we have? Kenny is great but we need a back-up. Bennett will function in the Championship but a tall Jamaican Goalie could be good for all those ‘live in hope’ high balls we are going to see. Assuming Jags is gone, we still have Geary, Davis, Kilgallon and Armstrong; with Morgan and Lucketti for the heavy lifting and Bromby as a back-up. In mid-field we have Gillespie and CKR on the outside. Down the middle we have a problem if Robbo wants to play football Monty and Legs don’t fit which leaves Tonge and Fathi with Law and S. Quinn as back-up. Got to fill that gap. Up front we have six strikers, although I would not be surprised to see Nade and Webber leave. Whichever way you cut it, that is still a great Championship team. I got hope!
IMO
Kenny - We need to keep him, even if this jamacan is good, there arent enough GOOD keepers around to replace kenny if he goes
Jags - Heart telling me he'll stay head telling me he'll go. Hope he stays and tries to get promoted with us again. One more season is the most we can hope to keep him especially if we dont go up.
Geary - Seen him play in the last few matches, need to keep him. we dont have that many options on either side of defence.
Davis - one of three that we must keep at all costs for the back.
Killa - Starting to worry about him. Maybe it was nerves, maybe he wasnt fully fit, but he doesnt look anything like the player that was described when he was signed.
Stretch - another must keep for me.
Morgan - Dont think he has too many seasons left in him. He is the rock that must be used as a foundation for the back. IMO
Lucky - Looked good in the appearances that he made, then dissapeared. Needs to find the form again, and would be great alongside Morgan
Bromby - Need him to be fit and injury free. Gives some support and options.
Keeeeef - Hopefully if he gets his deal, he will become the player that we all know he can be again. Maybe under a new manager he will do it.
CKR - Cant see him leaving, one of only two options IMO on the left of midfield
Monty - looked rusty in latter stages of season, which considering the breaks in the prem, doesnt look good. Quality when he tries, just needs to try harder.
Legs - Sell Him quick and get as much as poss for him. Dont rate him. Bad Buy. IMO
Tonge - think he needs to continue his recent form and take us all back to the tonge of old. in the early season i would have said sell, now i say hold on to him.
Fathi - Great things promised, havent seen him myself but has the potential. Hopefully with a full preseason, he can move on.
Law - Looking good.
Squinny - Bright stint in his first few matches. Didnt seem to be there against wigan, not to the level that he had been. Im expecting big things
Nade - Hopefully he will stay and get better than he already is. shown us what he can do against arsenal, and has a great work rate.
Webber - Cant see him being here long. Could have been the Hero against wigan, needs to be sharper for that very reason.
Shelton - Not seen enough of him. What we saw against manure was what i expected, same with fathi, hopefully we will be a regular after a good preseason
Stead - IMO was the only thing that kept us in the relegation dogfight. 6 goals since jan gives him a better record than stead. Hope he doesnt do what he's done at blackburn etc and be a no show next season. We know that the partnership with hulse does work.
Hulse - Think he will stay, reports this morning are that he will. Needs to get over the injury. Really do think that he will be able to fire us back to the prem. just needs the partner and the service.
This is IMHO
