The squad we're left with ?

[Bubbleburp]

I've been out of the country for a couple of weeks and I think I'm a bit behind with the activity down at BDTBL .... could someone post a list of the players (not including the youngsters )who we're left with as of 6pm tonight ?...... Cheers !

Ta for that link Zlatan ...already looked at that but that's how it stood as of 12th April '11....and it's including the young uns Have we still got the loanees , Mattock, Lowry and Risse ...or do they return to their respective clubs now that the season is ended ? I know Philliskirk is joining us for the next season .Was the rumour about Yeates being shown the door just that then ?

 

[Zlatan]

The date on the squad is from last month, but take away the loan players (apart from Philliskirk) and that's what we're left with. Although Ryan France's contract might be up at the end of the season? If he still exists that is.

I heard rumours of Yeates' contract being terminated due to him turning up pissed for training. Until that's confirmed though I suppose we have to include him in the squad.

Begs the question, who we will be left with in August!

Out of the current squad i would hazard a guess at:

Morgan
Ertl
Doyle
Bogdanovic
Aksalu
Taylor
Cresswell
Tonne
Kozluk
Collins
McAllister
Long
James
Chappell
Roe
Lowton
Slew
Harriott
Maguire
Kennedy
Coneely
Lokberg
Warren

Sold/Moved On:

Simonsen
Montgomery
Henderson
Evans
Yeates
Williamson
France
Quinn

Can't see any of the Loans coming back.

Mattock - probably sold to a Championship side
Lowry - Loaned again to the Champ by Villa
Philliskirk - May come back, but is he good enough?
Parrino - Has said he want's to stay in England, possibility?
Riise - Far too good for League 1

I believe we have already signed Philliskirk, think it was permanent as well not sure on length of contract

The squad we are left with is rather worrying imo.

With the exception of Morgan, there are no characters, personalities and imo, a distinct lack of mental strength that will be required, if we are to have any chance at all of challanging the top half of the league. Just running down that list leaves me depressed.

With what we all envisage regards departures this close season, the 7/1 on offer for winning the league (2nd favs behind wendy) appears poor, poor, value and ridiculously under priced

I hope KM can find it in himself to seek someway of giving us hope for next season.

I'm not worrying at the current squad just yet. I will if that's what we're left with come 3 0'clock on the opening day of next season.

Why delay the inevitable? Seriously I'm hoping for a complete overhaul of the squad. Clear the decks and start again... not literally just big changes

 

[SotonBlade]

It will leave us a lot of room for bringing in more experienced players, i'm not talking 30-odd year old journeymen, i'm talking 25-29 year old fit and players willing to prove themselves at a big club.

I trust Mickey to bring in those sorts of players.

 

[LS5 Blade]

I trust Mickey to bring in those sorts of players.

That's the worrying thing. I dont trust him to. I expect half of Coventrys failures from about 5 years ago!
