Who do we keep and who needs to be let go

[Danshrimper]

Barry has made 65 appearances in league 1 scoring 10,he was obviously much younger ,much fitter and probably slightly faster,as I said Barry will want a 2 year deal to safeguard his own finances,His future will be elsewhere as I dont think Ron will give him the deal.

I don't think Barry needs to demand a 2 year contract, if we don't want him at the end of next season there will be loads of League 2 clubs queing up to sign him.

I just wonder if Cocko might be receiving a phone call from Yeovil any time soon, we all know that PS isn't up to the more physical side of management and training.

 

[IloveShrimp]

I would keep Barrett as a player/defensive coach, also his experience at playing at a higher level will benefit the team. I thought he was solid Saturday and will still do a good job in league 1.

What another defence minded coach! You are having a laugh, it's a attacking minded coach that we need.

Stephen McLaughlin has tweeted as follows, which suggests to me there's not been any discussion on coming back next year.

Think McLaughlin still has another 2 years under contract at Nottingham Forest.

 

[shrimperton]

I think we will use the loan system a lot again next season, but with better players coming from bigger clubs......

 

[mrsblue]

Shame about Macca,really liked him as a footballer.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

I think we will hear this week as to which players are asked to continue their career elsewhere - it is only fair on them so that they have the maximum time available to find another club. And remember this is their job and they may have families and mortgages and other worries as well.

All said, I say thank you to them for trying ther best for the club. :thumbsup:


Based on some of the views above, I think there will be some surprises for some. I can't see a number of our current players being good enough for Division 3 - sad though that is.

Of everyone, I would love to see Mads given another year. He was the one player I was excited about seeing and that Metatarsal injury ruled him out for a lot of the season. Reckon he could do a job in L1

Agree with this, he was superb in pre-season but unfortunately that's all we've really seen of him. Will be down to what Brown and his team have seen in training.

 

[Silencer]

I wouldn't mind if John White never played for this football club ever again.

Most ridiculous comment I've read for weeks....

No major loss. Done ok for us but not been overly impressed and to be honest hope we do better with a winger. Gives the ball away too much for my mind, Decent crosser but not fussed.

Good as an impact sub, changed the game when he came on in the 2nd leg against Stevenage and scored a great goal but not a starter for me

Don't think he rates him , as at AGM Phil commented that he "wasn't pulling up any trees".... Make of that what you will

 

[Shrimperforlife]

Do you really think any player (other than maybe improving young players) not good enough to get in a League Two team will make a significant impact in the much higher standard of League One ?

prosser is only out due to Barrett , so as I said , depends on Barrett staying ... Prosser, in my opinion, is getting more of a leader , stronger and is faster than Barrett , but I would concede he hasn't the experience of Adam ...

 

[Shrimperforlife]

I include him in the "improving young players" category.

Last time we went up from the playoffs we had players who were better equipped for the step up in virtually every position bar goalkeeper and leftback. The tremendous finish to the season has left Brown with a lot of work to do.

lovely position for Phil to have , new league and new players to get, I bet he is relishing the thought, even when he is on holiday

 

[Shrimperforlife]

Which with hindsight was an excellent decision? No?

He was up next he said during the interview straight after

 

[Shrimperforlife]

I think there is a lot to said for keeping a squad together that has just won promotion. That said we do need someone pacy up front who can score goals, but then doesn't every team!

wayne Gary and Freddie worked last time we went up.....

Phil said quite clearly in his Sky interview yesterday morning that there will be no contract news this week as he is on holiday and will not be sitting down to discuss his or others contracts until he is back next week.
