It's a big squad but does it need trimming that much? Who goes out? Other than the kids I really can't see who we'd be happy to lose. It's a condensed season so why not keep the big squad as an advantage?

One less when Downes goes. Who would you get rid of?

The problem is that he's done it at this level previously so would you let him go to a rival in this division where we would almost certainly be forced to subsidise most of his wages? I doubt he'll get Championship offers and he almost certainly wouldn't want to go to league two so not sure there's any point.

Downes goes and we still have 11 midfielders........

I think Lambert really likes him but he’s surely one we could get by without.
I reckon El Miz and McGavin will be out on loan.
If Downes goes then keep the rest, there’s going to be a lot of midweek games and we’ve got a squad full of injury liabilities.

He’ll be a decent enough squad player I suppose, use him for the cup games.

Just haven’t been impressed with him from the start after all the hype.

At an absolute minimum, even if Downes goes, we should still try and see Nolan and Skuse off. That puts us at 9 midfielders which is more than enough even with injuries.

Fair enough. Disagree though. Skuse is underrated and is a good option to have on the bench. Nolan deserves one more chance IMO.

Would you be happy for them to go to other league one clubs?

With Downes going, we need all our experienced players as starters. We will need at least another 6 in midfield for suspensions, obvious injuries and genuine resting. I would keep the lot now and go all in for promotion. Nolan will be good for us this season.

Our other midfielders should all be ahead of them and they have had plenty of chances. If there's no chance for some of the others to play, they will leave on their own (and probably dominate at other clubs) and we will be left with aging, average players.

Nolan
Donacien
Nsiala
Wilson
Kenlock
Norwood
Edwards

And it would have helped if we didn't sign likes of Hawkins either.

Clear that lot out and then we have a more close knit, competitive squad.

This season is critical for our future. We have to get promotion this season. We need experienced players who want to be here. Downes can go, but Nolan, Skuse, Chambers, Sears etc. will be important players in the side or around the bench.

Wouldn't lose any defenders or strikers.

Heavy on midfielders.

I doubt we could ship Huws out, I have a bad feeling Nolan will go on to play well for a rival.

I'd stick with the current squad and trim in Jan.

Goalkeepers: Cornell, Holy and Wright
Right Backs: Donacien and Vincent-Young
Left Backs: Kenlock and Ward
Centre Backs: Chambers, Nsiala, Wilson and Woolfenden
Central midfielders: Bishop, Dozzell, Downes, Huws, Judge and Skuse
Right Wingers: Drinan and Lankester
Left Wingers: Dobra and Edwards
Strikers: Hawkins, Jackson, Norwood and Sears

That leaves El Mizouni (loan), Ndaba (loan/reserves), Nolan (sale) and Nydam (loan) out of those with squad numbers on the TWTD list. I wouldn't mind seeing El Mizouni getting an opportunity, though, and Nydam was a prospect before his serious injury.

Poll: Who would you play at right centre back on Saturday?

The squad needs massive trimming on 19:53 - Sep 5 with 2045 viewsTheTrueBlue1878

El Mizouni out on season long loan maybe.

Possibly Wilson, although suspect there will be limited takers.

Could see Jackson leaving still.

Mcgavin loan (ideally half season but full.season ok). We may have to.accept El Mizuni needs games. Would send him but only with a recall clause and again half season.

I would be selling Kenlock but only once Nydam fit. Kenlock needs to go and have a career. He cant play bit part forever. Maybe in Jan.

Folami loan.

Ndaba loan with recall possibly but would leave that one late. Lets see.

Poll: Genuine answers please on what you would choose next season!

MY SQUAD:

Holy. Cornell.

Ward. KVY. Chambers. Woolfenden. Nsiala. Kenlock.

Bishop. Judge. Downes. Dozzell. Nolan. Huws. El-Miz. Dobra. Lankester.

Sears. Jackson. Norwood. Hawkins.

That's a 21 man squad. I would probably now keep Drinan around for cover.

Surplus: Wilson. Donacien. Skuse. Edwards. Can't imagine clubs are queuing up for them, but if there's any suitors I would snap both of their hands off and trim the squad / wage bill. Would leave us short defensively mind, but frankly I would rather see Chambers at RB than Donacien, should KVY be unavailable. Perhaps look to bring in a young loanee CB / RB once Prem squads are finalised.

Loan out: Nydam. Folami. McGavin. Ndaba.

Anyone not in the new Squad limit of 22 and over 21 can’t play until January, so they would be the ones to go you assume
