I think there’s a case for a few of the others being replaced.
I’m not trying to be controversial, but nearly every game DOS attempts to give the ball away when playing out from the back. Not the greatest captain either imho.
Taylor blows hot and cold too.
Happy Christmas to all.

Poll: Are we happy with the takeover?

Threw away the best ball playing centre half we've had in the last ten years,
Not really sure what McKenna see's

Where does the narrative that he's not a good captain come from?

If we go up … I honestly can see the whole squad going….except Taylor…. It’ll make the demolition man and the last two seasons or so look like ……. little eventful periods.
None are good enough for the prem as many have actually shown in there and the others clearly aren’t up to it….. but most importantly there is no team spirit or style of play to try and help get through like we had before.

Need to consider that if we replace all those without moving them on then there isn't enough squad places to name them and they will take up wages but not be able to play.

Decent defending as a guess.

Indeed. The 'sensible' view would be that we can't have another summer of mass change but if your squad isn't good enough, and hasn't really gelled (can you be promoted having not gelled? Maybe this season you can), I think we'll need to to an extent.

Players I'd be happy to have in the starting XI regularly next season in the PL:
O'Shea
Kipre
Taylor
Matusiwa
Nunez

Starting week in, week out, in the PL?

Matusiwa certainly for me, Dara, Kipre, Davis, Cajuste likely capable. Beyond that I don’t see anyone that could make that step up.

This group as is, would undoubtedly require wholesale changes if we went up this year. As is it would probably be one of the worst PL sides in history.

O'Shea and Cajuste are big question marks for me. They seem to have gone off the boil this season. No guarantees they can cut it in the PL again.

Davis …. Seems blasphemy to say it .. but in the Prem his defensive issues that we knew about … seems the other clubs did too.

Kipre needs to move to his right and get a new decent centre left in to accompany him in defence.

What I don't understand is why so many of our players are incapable of passing a ball to another Town player, without it being under hit or intercepted.

Well, if he was so fantastic he'd been plucked off like Delap and Hutchinson in the summer

They probably all need time more than anything. But it might be time we don't have. But then anyone coming in might take time as well.

This last paragraph is spot on. Most of the time the passing is behind the receiving player or they have to wait for the ball, completely stagnating any progress we're making up the pitch.

Cajuste looked arguably the only one last year for me who ‘belonged’ in the PL. I don’t know if it suited him a little bit more in a weird way.

O’Shea, think he’s a strong defender, which is ultimately the day job, but in the modern game, particularly how we want to play, there would be question marks about him long term.
