filbertway Posted 6 December 2006 Share Posted 6 December 2006 Ok, so it looks a long way off at the minute but assuming Mandaric does take over long term he will be looking for promotion to the Premiership. How many of the current crop of players would be good enough to form part af a promotion winning squad. Assuming we have a squad of 24 (3GK, 8DEF, 8MID, 5FOR) I would keep the ones in BOLD N.B Lets be realistic bringing in 20 odd new players isn't gonna happen!!!!! 1. Rab Douglas 13. Paul Henderson (Decent enough back up) 25 Conrad Logan (Good young prospect) 2. Alan Maybury 3. Patrick Kisnorbo (Best defender at club) 4. Darren Kenton (Versatile, useful squad member) 5 Paddy McCarthy (Ok, rash, but still youngish, has some decent attributes) 14. Gareth McAuley (Impressive first season at this level) 15. Nils Eric Johannson 17. Richard Stearman (Quality on his day, still improving) 21. Alan Sheehan (adds balance as natural left back, please give him a chance) 6. Stephen Hughes (Still to produce the goods, but decent backup) 8. Gareth Williams (Best footballer at the club, wish he would show it more) 10. Andy Johnson 11. Danny Tiatto 16. Josh Low 20. James Wesolowski (Needs to stay fit, what a player if he can) 22. Momo Sylla 27. Levi Porter (Been impressive at times, decent prospect) 7. Iain Hume (Full of energy, quality) 12. Matty Fryatt (Short of confidence, will come good, again) 18 Elvis Hammond 19. Chris O'Grady 26. Louis Dodds (Needs a chance, could prove to be quality) Agree 100% on them.

reynard Posted 6 December 2006 Share Posted 6 December 2006 To gain promotion we would probably have to retain most of the current squad but add probably another 7 players to it. however if we were ever to get promotion then realistically of those who have played more than 20 games from the start i would say only the following could hack it in the prem hume kisnorbo??????

Royston. Posted 8 December 2006 Share Posted 8 December 2006 To get promotion we need all of them although some would only be last resort options (Johnson, Douglas) Even with all these players we're still lacking several decent players that a promotion campaign would need. Once we're in the Prem, then the real cull starts. The players I'd keep are: Logan Stearman Johannson Kisnorbo McCarthey Porter Hughes Williams Wesolowski Fryatt Hume Even if these turm out to be just squad players, may as well keep them until you replace them with something better.
