How many of our players are league one standard

[duncan bulgaria]

Not a knee jerk reaction to tonight’s result but watching the game I tried to work out who I think is League one standard .

Dieng at times is calm and assured on the ball , reads the game quite well

Hopper - with the right service and players around him he is defo league one standard

Hutchinson - I think there is a player in there , confident , looks to pass forward and tries to be positive with everything he does

Elvis at times looks very good but also looks really bad at times too , needs to be more consistent with his defending but think he can cut it at this level

For me that’s your lot I’m afraid folks

 

[Barling Magna]

I'd add Cox to that list and probably Kelman too.

 

[southendkid]

Only Hopper for me. Humpreys, Kelman, Hutchinson and Elvis are all young enough to be League 1 quality in a year or two though, although with them learning their trade alongside these players I wouldn't blame them if they were looking for a better club to develop them in January.

We need to clear out this lot! Utter dross!! No manager in the world could get a tune out of this lot!! Jan cant soon quick enough! I see ted smith down the gym everyday working hard and im wondering why the f...k we let him go!!

 

[Shrimper]

I'd add Cox to that list and probably Kelman too.

Cox looks done

 

[Tommy2holes]

Cox looks done

Been saying that for a while. He is **** poor now

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Only Hopper for me.

At best the rest are in and out, and when they are out, they are really poor. Not even conference standard.

Stand by for a real shocker on Sunday!!!!!!

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Sol's got his work cut out next season. building a solid team?.

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

if cox was a horse, I would be sticking my pictures in my scrap book with whats left of him at the moment

 

[sufcrocks]

Currently none of them are! Two or three show promise and may come good............in league two!

What about cox? Other then that i agree

 

[stewart]

Brandon ****shot should be sent back to Weymouth , thats his standard ,Hyam,Milligan and a few others should be sent out to pasture along with a few other donkeys, i think Sol better off giving some youth players some time now , forget these people trying to pass themselves off as professional footballers
Seriously the only ones i would keep apart from the youths are ,Bishop,Elvis,Hutchinson,Dieng,Humphreys,Hopper,Kelman, Acquah,Rush, Golly Gee i find it hard going through the squad to really name many senior players i would keep, makes you realise what a job Sol and his team have got on their hands , i truly wish them well
.

I think can still show glimpse of quality but it’s just not happening for him at the moment , I think this maybe his last season as a league one regular - however if he was in an attacking minded confident side then u would see a lot better version of Cox

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

0

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Evidently not many of them.

 

[Lincoln Shrimp]

When fully fit (and have had a proper pre season) then I'd say just Hopper, Cox. Hutchinson, Humphrys and maybe Macca

 

[Sunnyshrimper]

I don’t usually support wholesale changes in a playing squad, it takes time for new players to bed in and gel to gain a consistency however with the utter dross I have seen this season I would retain the following for a League 2 campaign (the rest aren’t cut out for that level in ability and/or mentality let alone League 1.
Sol and his team need to accept they’ve inherited a relegation bound squad and put plans in place for an immediate return to League One next season.

Bishop (as understudy) need a proper number 1
Elvis
Hutchinson
Klass
Hopper
Humphreys
Kelman
Acquah (get experience on loan, not 1st team ready)
Rush (get experience on loan)

Need to assess Kyprianou, Gard & Barratt post long term injuries

Cox, Kiernan, Dieng, White or Demi (choose one or two max of these for experience and continuity within squad)

 

[Strykr]

Just got to hope come January 3 or 4 signings can transform the few most seem to rate as good enough for league one. There was a time people didn't rate Gower or Maher, once surrounded by decent players they were two of our best. Off topic I know but im glad Barrett didn't become manager now, dont think anyone can turn this around :(

 

[stewart]

I retained Dieng as i believe he has the makings of a decent CB.

 

[duncan bulgaria]

A centre back who is aggressive and can organise the back line to be brave and not retreat every time there is an attack

Like wise a centre mid who can put it about , someone with leadership qualities

We need pace out wide too , seems we will have to dig into the loan market for this

A commanding GK

An experienced LB

Not much to ask for eh !!
