Probably only 17-19 ‘definite’ players retained. And a squad of 23-26 core players the aim. Baggott and Harness were in the correct columns given today’s news.
Phil feels Tuanzebe may well stay, Kallum less convinced. Central Midfield the key area, but hard to get players with the right profile and potential to step up to Premier League. Unsure on Harry Clarke. Futures of Humphreys and Boniface also discussed.
Broadhead is surely one for Town in Championship - despite original list having him as surplus, causing some raised eyebrows on X. Although was McKenna fully convinced by him over last summer, or was it just the injury?
Anyway what’s your view? Who’s Staying, Who’s Going?
… guard of honour outrage, unpacking of attacking issues, Jack Taylor insights, season best away pie scoring… and plenty more discussion.
Lots to unpack in this week’s Video Verdict, after an extremely disappointing result at the King Power. Oh and ‘3 words’ debate from GainsboroughBlue, FelixBlue4 and Ryorry.
Give it a go below, and use the hyperlinks in the YouTube comments from the running order if you don’t fancy the whole show.

As discussed by Phil and Jim on this week’s Video Verdict (below), the St James’ Park bronze of Sir Bobby is not the finest! Ronaldo statuesque.
Our own Sir Bobby statue to us being far superior. With perhaps the Beattie and Sir Alf figures better still.
There have been many other bad renditions seen on the road this season - including Shearer yesterday. Jury out on the shiny shiny metal ones at the Etihad. Some ‘mid’ renditions at the Emirates including Tony Adams. The trinity statue at Old Trafford perhaps the best scene?
Thanks to the contributions below from forum posters on Homer’s thread. Generated some good discussion on TWTV.
Do give this week’s Video Verdict a view (and a like/comment if you fancy it). Some good insights from Kallum and Phil, including McKenna’s presser mood.

What a glorious night and performance under the lights at Portman Road, joyous.
There is a bumper Video Verdict up on YouTube (below) - the end of a glorious 2024 and the halfway point of the season.
If you’ve not watched the show before, or found some of the early efforts not up to standard - do give it a(nother) go. Includes some good discussion of survival chances and the January transfer window with Phil, as well as some good footage of the Blue Action pre-match procession. And of course the usual 3 word summaries from the forum.

If you didn’t get the chance to view Billy Grant (BeeSotted fanzine) on TWTV describing life in the Premier League, and their move to the GTech Community Stadium, give it a go below.
Interestingly he picks out their early home win against Arsenal as key to their successful first season.
Hopefully Town’s first 3 points can come tomorrow.
If you look in the comments you’ll see hyperlinks to each section, including Billy’s, of what was a bumper show!
Former Town striker Alan Lee provides some good insights on Ali Al Hamadi, George Hirst and Liam Delap as part of this week’s TWTV Video Verdict.
During a week where many questioned whether Town had strengthened enough in that department, Delap’s first Town goal - a blaster against Fulham - seemed important.
Give it a watch - would you describe Alan and Liam as ‘rangy’ strikers? and just how good was that atmosphere after the goal?!
