for me and this is being harsh,

Phillips - stays, one of the best in the division

J smith - Out - not good enough

G smith - Out - not done a thing for me

Heywood - Stays - I think we miss him terribly

Patridge - Stays - Needs to improve mind, needs to cut out silly errors

Carey - Out - past his best and must be on a few bob

Murry - Stays -Hopefully has turned the corner under Johnson - is playing better

Bridges - Out - No point having 5k warming the bench

Brooker - stays -Vital to get him back

Stewart - stay - His class will eventually shine

cotterill - Stays - will be very good player when played in posistion

Woodman - Out - Not good enough

Wilkshire - stays - one of our best

Fotune - out - Have never understood how he is a pro footballer

Orr - stays - Not my favourite but the best we have at right back

Goldbourne - Stays - Personally don't think ready yet but will come good

Gillespie - Out - never going to get a decent run in the side

Brown - stays - needs to play in posistion though - clearly not a winger!!

Skuse - stays - but needs a year to toughen up, imo not ready for 1st team

R keogh - Stays - from what ive seen he looks good

so heres my team

Phillips

Orr Heywood Patridge Replacment

Murry Brown Wilkshire Replacment

Brooker Cotterill

subs - skuse, Keogh, Goldbourne, Stewart, striker.

As ive said this is only my opinion!!

[Tunley Legend]

Not a bad shout although I do disagree with Murray. We have got to be tough and avoid being sentimental (I'm not suggesting that is your reason for keeping him). Murray has performed to a generally poor standard since he came back and I'm afraid two half decent games isn't enough to convince me that he should stay.

Despite what you say, Fortune could do a job in the right position but we haven't got the time to instil the necessary "bottle" (excuse the term!!) in him. And Stewart should be given until the end of the season for his "class to shine". If not, £7k per week is a lot for non-performances.

I would at Stewart to the outs (6k per week and way, way, way past his sell by date IMO.

Its always interesting to read these threads, how do you suggest we actually get these players out.

Agree entirely with the sentiment but I can't see a long queue of other clubs who are going to pick up the contracts of these players so unless you fancy paying some pretty substantial in settlements or are going to fund loans elsewhere I don't see it happening.

That is assuming you could get takers, looking at the list I could only realistically suggest Gillespie would attract a league two side with maybe Woodman and Fortune at a stretch.

Unfortunately unless GJ can drag some diamonds from eastern europe or south america this season is shaping up like more of the same, anyone fancy 7th place again??

Agree totally, but still think we need a goal scorer - someone big, with pace and who will guarantee us 15+ goals a season. Oh, and another attacking midfielder...got my doubts about Russell..hopefully i'll be wrong though!!

[Pewsham]

anyone fancy 7th place again??

Mid table would do me at the mo

[preston red]

Yep, agree with most of what's been said. Can't understand why PNE wanted Fortune so badly. We should of let him go. Would like to see Quinn come in, if he can live up to the reputation he brings with him. Would also like to see Goldbourne get a run in the team when he's fully fit.

Agreed with most of that but, for me, Bridges would stay to partner Brooks up top and Stewart would be offloaded instead. The other one I'd change is Murray. He would get the axe as well for not being up to it for a long time and is, as most people know, a major player within the drinking culture at the club.

Easier said than done though aint it!

I can,t see too many disagreeing with you on your ins and outs and final team.Just a couple of things though.

I notice you,ve left Russell out[no surprise there].Once he is fit,he has to be given a go.If he is as good as people say then he could be crucial to us,especially with Wilkshire being involved with the Aussies.

Speaking of which.If Wilks manages to get to the World Cup and actually plays,[and plays well]and we are still in this poxy division,which is looking a near certainty,there is no way he will be with us next season.

Apart from his team-mates getting into him,he isn,t the battling type and Johnson must realise by now that as well as playing fast direct football at home, you have to get stuck in and fight for every ball away,and Wilkshire isnt up to that,never has been never will.

Brown has to be played in the middle,along with an experienced midfielder[Russel?] for the rest of this season,to gain the experience he is going to need for next season,s undoubted promotion push.

Same applies to Golborne and Skuse.Golborne at left back and Skuse as a centre-back.

Play Cotterill in the home games.Teach him to play with his head up and when and when not to take players on.Add a couple of GJ,s signings in January,giving the squad half of this season and all pre-season to become a unit.

,and there you have it!...League 1 Champions 2006/2007..........easy innit?

Russell was left out on the basis of never seeing him play, hopefully he will be good enough to get in my first 11!!!!

Pretty spot on mate. there are 2 more i would ship out but will not name them because i think these kind of threads, if read by the players, has a negative effect - and right now they need all the encouragment they can get. i'll just say that one is a tins recruit and one been here just a little longer.

Agogo up front with Brooker - we best leave agogo at the Gas though - boy do they need him

Quite unbelievably, I also agree on your ins and outs. Those 7 or so players will be tough to shift, we may have to be patient.

[bcfc seattle]

Yep, agree with most of what's been said. Can't understand why PNE wanted Fortune so badly. We should of let him go.

We did agree to let him go, after we turned down two bids we accepted one of ~300k but he choice to stay here.

[Swindon Hater]

Although he's a good footballer, Wilkshire to me is a liablity, too inconsistent and is not the type of player who will not be interested in away games at Chesterfield etc. on cold Tuesday nights.

[Geesus the City fan]

I cant believe the stick that Wilkshire is getting, this lad has quality that should be encouraged. Top goal scorer from midfield and most assists consistantly - what more can he do?

I think people should look to whose alongside him in midfield, not being critical of Skuse but hes still very young especially in this division.

he was the worst player on the pitch on wednesday for starters.

[Guest Ron]

In my opinion, the going list should be;

Michael Bridges

Marcus Stewart

Craig Woodman

Scott Goldbourne (Loan)

Louis Carey

Cole Skuse (Loan)

Guy Madjo

Steve Gillespie (Loan)
