I have gone for more than 4, this season written off and now time to play some of our youngsters in preparation for next season! Does it really matter if we finish with 14 or 24 points?

I have gone with four plus as well. Although I applaud and would embrace some of the U23's coming through to lead the charge next season it looks like the better players from that group are being touted as leaving, leavers or in the case of Humphries already left.
I get what you say about 14 or 24 points but I would hope we scrap hard enough to get mid twenties.

We can't afford to get rid of anyone until we get more in. The season isn't written off until we mathematically can't survive.

None. They should all have to dig us out of the mess they've put us in. Seri, Anguissa, Mawson, Le Marchand, Mitrovic and Bryan are all on 4-5 year contracts so let's keep them here for that long.

I'd just offload the deadwood - TFM, Fabri and perhaps Cisse and/or Kebano

Maybe keep Kebano for dressing room presence and throw of the dice option in Championship.

I'd sooner Ayite and McDonald leave than Kebano and Cisse.


Facts Not Fiction

No need to now, but come the end of the season, a big re-evaluation is needed.

Come the great escape mk2....... MOST OF THEM!

If we drop.... TC would do well (he'll have blown his desirability). and recall the rest of the promotion stalwarts as we'll need them.

Only TFM to free up a loan slot. No need to get rid of any others till the summer.

Can we loan O'Reilly and Steven Sessegnon to Championship clubs NOW to give them experience prior to next season? That could plug two gaps in what looks to be a bare bones first team next year, and reduce the transfer burden in the summer.

Seems an obvious thing to do...

HV71

Excellent suggestion Milo - particularly if they are not going to get game time at all this season

St.Sess should have been tried already this season imo.

Are we supposed to find a new club for TFM in order to open up a loan spot? I read something the other day that seemed to suggest that we had that obligation.

Disagree, if we spend more now and it doesn't work out and it won't, then that affects what we can do next season! e already carry too many new signings that we are going to lose money on, your proposal is to buy more, don't think that makes sense!

??? You suggest none and then mention 3 or perhaps 4, confused? I am also talking about deadwood, forget the length of contracts why carry people who are simply not good enough for a longer period than you need to? Anyway it is a poll and nice to see a mixed selection of votes!

1 new full back or freeing up 1 loan spot does not equal avoiding relegation, I am sure you know that!!
