If you were given a clean slate, who would you keep?

Indulge me as I know this isn't possible, but if someone said to you that you could release the entire squad tomorrow, who out of our current crop would you keep?

Personally I think I'd keep 4:

Che Adams-As others have said, clearly not the finished article, but bags of potential and certainly has an eye for the back of the net

Done-Excellent for this division when played in the right position

Sharp- Will score plenty of goals at this level and will run himself into the ground for the team

Baxter-A frustrating but technically gifted player, excellent eye for a pass

Brayford- Depends whether it's the Brayford of his loan period or the sub standard one we've had on a permanent basis, the man takes up a lot of wages and needs to justify it


How about anyone else?
 



Without knowledge of the salaries, but on the assumption the youngsters earn fuck all;

Wallace (K)
McGahey
Brayford
Freeman
Adams
Sharp
Done
JCR
Reed
Possibly Basham, provided he earns an average 3rd division wage.

I suspect Sharp and Brayford aren't worth nearly what they are being paid, but I can I my speculate on that bit.

I'm drying up now......
 
Don't know why anyone wouldn't keep Basham. Same with Reed.

I'd also say Howard and McEveley are key players moving forward who should be kept at all costs.
 
Adams
Baxter
Sharp
Done (as a striker)
Basham
Harris
Brayford

Given a proper clean slate and considering the other players i've seen in League One so far that's about it for me.

Reed is young, improving and earning peanuts. The jury is at least out.

Basham does a decentish job in midfield, nothing spectacular. He also does a good job at centre half. So I'd give him a 3rd division wage.

UTB
 
Adams, Sharp, Brayford, Harris, Done and Freeman.
As highbury said we should hold onto the under 21's, but when it comes to the first teamers the 6 above with maybe Baxter.
 
Basham's versatile, physically decent, technically adept and has a good attitude. Definitely one you want to keep. With the right partner at centre half he'd be very good there.
 
Let's keep JCR and his zero assists because he may double that Over next few games!

We have the players in the squad now when players are fir minus a keeper and CB

New keeper
Brayford
Basham
CB
Harris
Adams
Hammond
Coutts or Wallace
Done
Baxter
Sharp

If that team doesn't do well and it's not the managers there is something seriously fucked up about our club
 
Brayford
Sharp
Basham
Done
Adams
Baxter (with some modifications)

The rest I either like but don't quite cut it. Or the majority of which I want to fuck off to the furthest limits of fuckery and then fuck off again.
 
Freeman , Harris , Mcgahey , Brayford , K Wallace, Adams , Baxter , Reed , Done, Sharp, Basham
Possible - JCR , McNulty,
 
Freeman's another one to keep. Another decent versatile player with a good attitude. As long as players like that aren't on big wages, they're always worth keeping. The least he can be is very good cover in either full back position.
 



Brayford
Sharp
Basham

With a side order of fuck-off tablets ? :)
 
With a clean slate:

Done
Sharp
K Wallace
Adams
Freeman

Brayford can go if we get the money for him. He's on too much for a League 1 club. I'd rather use his wages on getting in 3-4 others. Freeman is good enough in this division. (this is on the assumption that the clean sweep would be at the start of next season and we're still in league 1)
 
Brayford
Done
Adams
Sharp
Baxter
Freeman
KWallace
Harris
McGahey
Reed
Basham (but as C/H, NOT as midfielder)
JCR

Coutts maybe

There's a very decent core there, many of whom are young. And we're fine up front really.

We all know the positions where quality & commanding presences are vitally needed.
 
Basham
Baxter
Brayford
Sharp
Adams
Done
K Wallace
Hammond

That's it. Shocking to be honest out of such a huge squad
 
From back to front and assuming we are keeping loanees:

Willis - keep and loan out
Brayford
Freeman
Edgar
Kennedy
Harris
K Wallace
Bash
Hammond
Reid - keep and loan out
Scoogs
Baxter
Done
Adams
Sharp
Sparky - keep and loan out

Meaning I would need to buy at least 9 new players.

2 GKs
2 CBS
1 CM - ideally a playmaker to push Baxter
2 wingers
2 target men

Just a bit of work to do then and I actually think I am being generous to our current crop.
 
Let's keep JCR and his zero assists because he may double that Over next few games.

Not his fault Sammon and Sharp keep missing the sitters he lays on. Set Basham up on Saturday too but Basham just casually sidefooted it into the nearest defender.

Brayford - New CB - New CB - New LB
