Which 5 players would u want in the squad next season ? 21:59 - Mar 16 with 1807 viewsChocorange

1. Norwood
2. Downes
3. Edwards

That’s it for me ... if pushed I would add Vincent Young and Dobra

If we don’t go up , ( by some fluke) then we need a mass clear out

From the current first team squad (plus Ndaba):

Goalkeepers
Nope

Defenders
Vincent-Young
Woolfenden
Ndaba
Chambers
Wilson

Midfielders
Bishop
Downes
Dozzell
Dobra
El Mizouni
Lankester
McGavin
Nydam
Judge

Forwards
Norwood

We might want a slightly larger squad than most of say 27 players given our injury record that means twelve more players of which I reckon about 6 need to be decent money signings, and the others stepping up from U23s/U18s.

Edit: At least 3 or 4 of those six need to be really strong characters, to reset the collective psyche of this squad. They also, of course, need to be decent footballers, of reliable fitness and a sensible age, and as such will cost significant USD.

It’s all opinions, but for me our midfield is a real problem area, it doesn’t create much, rarely scores goals, often gets out fought and over run in games. The problem we have is that whatever combination is put in there it fails to deliver. If I was PC that’s one of the areas I’d be looking to address in the summer and if that means moving on a few of our home grown players then so be it.

Wilson
Kenlock
Downes
Bishop
Norwood

Dozzell but only if he has two warriors either side of him


I’m with this little selection, but only if they want to be here and are prepared to give it 100% week in week out. Thinking of Downes and Dozzell in particular here.

In truth they all have between now and season’s end to prove they want to play here and are capable of playing. Anyone wanting out, say the word. That’d be my message.

Be nice to see someone bulk up a bit over the summer, McGavin?, to bring a bit of serious mongrel in there, but yes trade some of them for that sort of bossy, dominating but fair player a la Matt Holland.

Is that what Cook is doing now, giving them the chance to prove themselves? Not many of the loanees are now involved apart from the odd 1 or 2. The rest appear to be given their chance to show they deserve to be here beyond this season. PC is getting his answer crystal clear with these types of displays.

A midfield enforcer and a decent target man would be my top priorities. I wouldn't offer new contracts to nearly all the out of contract players - extend those of Jackson (but maybe sell as he doesn't fit into 4-2-3-1) & Bishop. Don't see any of the others as worth keeping, save some of the younger players such as Nydam if there's a good chance he can get fit.
