Tharme
Sargent
Thorn
Wright
Young
Oswell

That will realistically mean:

1 x new RB
2 x CM
1 x Central forward
3 x wide forwards
1 x new starting GK if Lainton goes

I stopped reading when I saw the name Wright. You're being sarcastic, right?

Agree and if we keep the defence we have I think he would be good enough is laington goes.

Just hope Hughes doesn’t stick to the ‘tried and tested keep it steady keep it tight’ formula next season which is so dull to watch at times. We need to mix it up.

If he does then there’s no way I’m going next season. I can’t put up with watching football like that where you play for corners in the hope your centre half can score.

This is what I'm worried about, he didn't even have a full season at Scarborough did he?

Can't imagine he's got much of a list of targets, bearing in mind that 6 months ago he probably had no idea that he'd be managing in the National League.

Suspect, as FOG suggested, that 'safe' options will be taken in the form of new contracts to Rutherford, Roberts etc. Then we'll sign a young, half-decent striker who will have the weight of 20-goal a season expectations on him, couple of players from relegated clubs, couple of kids on loan, and we're good to go again...

I’d keep Lainton, Pearson, Kennedy, Jennings, Carrington and Young.

Send the rest packing tomorrow.

Thoughts on Oswell?

[Leighton Red]

We can’t afford star players in every position, we need the odd ‘filler’ who is good enough to do a job ( that’s why Carrington has been with us for so long!).

My lists:

Retain

Jussi Jas
Lainton (if possible)
Dibble
Pearson
Tharme (1st year pro deal)
Lawlor
Kennedy
Sargent (1st year pro deal)
Rutherford
Young
Carrington (as full back, if not happy with that release)

Release

Wright
Fondop
Grant
Deverdics
Holroyd
Summerfield (legs have finally gone)
Agustin
Oswall
Roberts
Jennings
Leo Smith
Simpson
Manny Smith (sorry Manny!)

Return

Spyrou
Walker (why did he come back?!)
Beavon
McGlashan

Needed: Full backs (x2), creative midfielder (x2), holding midfielder (x1), strikers (x4 - must be athletic and either lightning quick or sizeable (Danny Wright-esque but not Danny Wright!) but have to know where the goal is and be able to hit it!, Winger (x1). Squad of around 20.

Retain:

Lainton
Dibble
Carrington
Pearson
Kennedy
Lawlor
Tharme
Jennings
Sargent
Young
Oswell

Release:

Everyone else, including Hughes and Darlington.

Too much money is in the defence, this needs to be rebalanced to give more money for further up the field.

The player revolving door will swing again, but I feel our problems are more deep rooted.

I agree let Manny go if he isn't finished anyway and Kennedy, keep Lawlor Pearson and Tharme but to be honest at this moment in time I'm passed caring anymore.

I'd keep Lainton (But I cant see us keeping him), Dibble, Jennings, Carrington, Lawlor, Pearson, Manny and maybe Kennedy. Our back is solid as a first timer on viagra. Need to keep them.

Luke Young is a defo, maybe Summerfield, Ruthers at a push just for his work rate.

If our Loan game was on point though we'd have got Tollitt til the end of the season instead of month to month and we'd not even had had to play tonight. I'd move for him next season.
