Think the poll shows something about opinions being severely distorted by age of the player. I guess a lot of people from a far may not see many games and just see numbers.
The interesting one for me is Hendrie, although not out of contract (1 year left I believe). I for one would like to see him given another go this time under Powell, could teach him a thing or two about playing the LB position ;-)
Yep, with you on Hendrie. Some Powell man hugs may just do the trick.
Has Hendrie ever had defensive instincts? He reminds me of Nicky Nicolau; tidy on the ball and confident going forward but all at sea defensively, especially in a back four.I would rather Hendrie do some bear hugs on the oppositions RM. Seemed to have lost his defensive instincts and strength rather than technical/attacking ability. Not sure what the answer is to that one.
Not that surprising considering the poll is from January. I suspect the number will be a lot smaller now with many (myself included) changing their minds.Surprised that so many people would want to keep Wordsworth. He must be one of the highest earners, is always injured and hasn't done well in any of Chris Powell's teams so far. He would be first on my list of players to be let go.

These for me are a must if possible.
OX
White
Coker
Tims
Give the young lads a real opportunity when possible. Still need a few key new players.
Try and get Manton as well.
I would invest more to ensure Oxley stays and cash in on Coker... I would also make the effort to get Manton and let Timlin move on also.
Mine too. He's done nothing in the last 6 months to warrant another contract.
I'd release Turner, Mcglashan and Fortune as well and offer new contracts to Timlin (1 year), Coker, Cox,White and of course Oxley.
I'd try to negotiate Ferdinand's departure whilst looking to sign up Sam Manton.
A couple of new strikers, plus a winger and a centre half would be high on my agenda.
Was going to say exactly the same about Mantom and Timlin. The lad looks a good player, can pick a pass and can make a tackle.
Timlin has served us well but I think the time has come to send him to Swindon
Why? He's been one of our best players this season.
Don't agree about Timlin. Has proved he can be a decent partner for Dru in the middle and whilst he may not be in peoples best starting 11 he would be one of the first on the bench alongside John White.
Despite what people claim on the Zone he is a good defender at left back. Yes we can all slag his passing but doesn't concede goals that easy.
Oxley wants to back up North and won't be signing a new deal, shame.
I agree that when he has played with Dru he has been able to influence Dru's development. My concern is though that Dru has a yellow card in him. In many games this year he has received one or has had a stern talking to by a ref.
Timlin also has that in him as well and I believe that Mantom is a calmer player than Timlin and one that bring on Dru more. Additionally if you would have Timlin on the bench he won't be able to be a perfect partner for Dru...:winking:
