We certainly need to be putting a bid in for players such as Tollitt in my opinion.

Start with the manager and the board and progress from there.....

Definitely cannot afford to have 2 good centre backs not playing every week, Manny should be released, all things considered.

I’ve got a feeling Hughes is going to offer deals to dross like Roberts, Grant, Rutherford, Holroyd etc. Which will make it another waste of time season.

The goals for total for the last 3 seasons is 47, 49 and 56. That is utter woeful. In a league where teams are set up to stifle you, we’ve focused our wages on defenders ie Pearson and Smith.

Something needs to change in this regard. Our budget needs to be tailored toward scoring a few more goals. The goal scoring stats for our strikers is terrible. Top scorer with 6 yet we ship Mick Fondop out who had 5 before Xmas. He was crap too but at least he scored the odd goal.

Ultimately we need better players in the attacking third be that strikers, wingers or midfielders. A manager who hangs around would be great...if he’s any good.

Those running the club need to ask what they want out of it. For me, stinking the place out with poor players and spoiling tactics is not the answer. Would I be happy if we were promoted that way? Yes, but we haven’t.

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

Send the rest packing tomorrow.

This.

Most of the squad should be shown the door but pointless if Darlington is still here. We can't afford Pearson, Lawlor, Kennedy and Manny so Manny should be let go, he'll get a club easy at this level

[Sean Reckless]

Saw Manny before the game, looked crocked to me.

[Iesty]

I really don't rate jennings any more

So many times he got caught in possession or aimlessly lumped a diagonal ball to nothing

I imagine bar the players in contract a lot will change this summer

I would say the opposite, push the boat out on 5 or 6 quality players of a good age, otherwise we will waste a load of money trying to bring in 2/3 of a squad yet again.
