I don’t think any of our players are leaders, necessity brings opportunity and no one stepped up to be counted. |

We need someone in the mould of Roy Keane, a proper captain where players won’t dare step out of line around him. Even Keates as a player, a proper captain. |

Ability-wise, he’s a decent player at this level but no more than that. Kennedy is a better footballer in my opinion. Lawlor is behind both Pearson and Kennedy in terms of ability. What I would say is, it would be very difficult to find a player of his ability with his leadership skills at our level. To finish, there are other areas on the pitch that require far more attention. Anything further forward than centre back has been neglected in recent years - clearly finance causes this issue. Quality higher up costs more. |

If as it seems Keates will be manager next season we need a striker who can cope upfront isolated on there own i.e not playing a 5.8 midfielder there. |

Re: Who would you retain and release
I think that Hooper is a good player and could be very effective at this level. However, on the few occasions that I have seen him play, he just doesn't look like he is giving his all. His injury saga, when the whole thing just dragged on, underlined his lack of application. Taxi for Hooper!
Most of the present squad who are soon to be out of contract, are understandably worried. The first few on my list to go are Dibble and Rutherford. Dibble is a young guy with potential, but he just has not progressed in his time here. Early this season, when Lainton was injured, many points were thrown away due to Dibbles performances. I have mentioned Rutherfords weaknesses many times before. Running around a lot, does not disguise the fact that (for a winger) he cannot outstrip a full back, or has a physical presence, marginally greater than a year 10 in a High School! Akil Wright is another great prospect that just has not progressed, and he has to go. In a nutshell, our problems last year were up front rather than in defence. Supposed attacking players should be looking at themselves, as they failed to generate chances/goals. I am sure that training and tactics were a major reason why our performances were dour for a large part of the season. I don't feel that Keates has the ability to change his system/style so for me, its bye bye Deano. And, Pep Darlington needs to sling his hook as well. |
