Title: Players to keep ? Post by: lunnyboy on Saturday, March 18, 2006, 22:08:11 If we go down , (or stay up even) , which players should we keep hold of , or try to ! . The only players in my opinion we should keep are :- Evans , peacock & cureton ...... think curo & peacock would be a good strike partnership for lge 2 & lge 1 if we escape the drop ! ..... the rest of the squad should go elsewhere , propping up a bar somewhere .... probably are now as i speak !!!
Title: Players to keep ? Post by: yeo on Saturday, March 18, 2006, 22:09:52 none
well maybe Rhys. Peacock and Cureton doesnt work so fuck one or the other of them off as well. Title: Players to keep ? Post by: yeo on Saturday, March 18, 2006, 22:11:50 Oh Charlies alright keep him as well.
Title: Players to keep ? Post by: Bogus Dave on Saturday, March 18, 2006, 22:11:58 get rid of gurny migs brown nicholas(?) roberts ifil (for the money). keep the rest and rebuold the squad around cureton smith and comyn plat
Title: Players to keep ? Post by: reeves4england on Saturday, March 18, 2006, 22:13:09 Evans YES
Seano YES Migs YES Cureton YES Peacock YES (but as a reserve, we need somebody else to be in the first XI) Caton YES Whalley MAYBE Shakes MAYBE The rest can go for all I care but that would be one hell of a rebuilding job for Iffy Title: Players to keep ? Post by: PHIL!!!! on Saturday, March 18, 2006, 22:20:13 Keep:
Evans, Ifil, Seano, Platt, Nicho, Shakes, Brown, P.Smith, Migs, Roberts, Caton, Curo and Peacock. Caton will be vital next season, what ever division we end up in.... Title: Players to keep ? Post by: Reg Smeeton on Saturday, March 18, 2006, 22:25:20 Players under contract are Gurney, Brown, Peacock and Cureton....Ifil has verbally agreed an extension all the others will leave if they can.
Christian Roberts I think is still under contract, but it should be cancelled for gross misconduct. I would keep Iffy as manager. Title: Players to keep ? Post by: Arriba on Saturday, March 18, 2006, 22:29:29 keep iffy,evans o'hanlon cplatt and p smith.
the rest can fuck off. evans though will leave at the end of this season :wink: Title: Players to keep ? Post by: reeves4england on Saturday, March 18, 2006, 22:33:28 We cannot afford experience!!! Get your head around that

Post by: sonicyouth on Saturday, March 18, 2006, 23:25:08 keep seano, evans and nicholas out of those who are out of contract.
i'd be tempted to persevere with shakes and comyn-platt in particular, though i remain unconvinced. brown, gurney, stef, whalley, ifil, smith, pook, jenkins and nicolau can clear off.

Keep: Evans, Ifil, Seano, Platt, Nicho, Shakes, Brown, P.Smith, Migs, Roberts, Caton, Curo and Peacock. Caton will be vital next season, what ever division we end up in.... Yes, as he's a proven legend. Comments like this piss me off, he could be the next Alan Young or Mark Draycott for all we know, especially after tearing his ligaments. I go to uni with an Oxf*rd fan who knows him. Ho hum. Title: Players to keep ? Post by: Duncan_Shearer on Sunday, March 19, 2006, 00:22:12 I would keep Cureton, Peacock, O'hanlon (will go though), Platt, Shakes, Stroud (looks a good prospect) and Smith.
The rest can go, Evans is on £5000 a week apparently. Title: Players to keep ? Post by: Tails on Sunday, March 19, 2006, 00:47:48 Peacokc and Cureton both good strikers. Feel sorry for peacock hes had good chances if he had better delivery he'd scor emoe.
Title: Players to keep ? Post by: DV on Sunday, March 19, 2006, 00:50:02 Id keep Evans, because he is a very good keeper for this level and has kept us in alot of games, yes he makes mistakes but every keeper does. However I think Rhys is better than us and if he were to leave, he has my blessing [not that he needs it] because he has done well for us
Jack Smith showed some good form earlier on in the season, but has been a bit pants recently. See how he does for the next 8 games Jerel Ifil - yes....our best defender. Partner him with an expirence organising defender and he will be ace SeanO - No thanks, vastly overrated Nicholas - Been very patchy this season form wise. I think he thinks he is better than what he is [just a feeling of mine like] and he will move on because he thinks he is above 4th division football Shakes - Really poor, but our ONLY right winger, no Whalley - Maybe 8 games left to prove himself CCP - Yes Migz - Yes Pook - Still only young and is a decent players. Has obvsiously struggled in a shit side because this is still his first season If I have missed anyone out of contract, then I guess they can be got rid of Title: Players to keep ? Post by: Tails on Sunday, March 19, 2006, 00:51:11 i think ill agree with DV actually. makes sense,.
Title: Players to keep ? Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Sunday, March 19, 2006, 01:00:59 Evans on 5,000 a week. :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Post by: adje on Sunday, March 19, 2006, 15:15:39 I couldn't care less if we get rid of all of 'em,'cept CCP.After Forest I've got no time for any of the useless twats-inc.the alleged "good striker"Peacock.And if we keep Gurney,I might not even bother to drive 300 miles for a fucking home game.

Post by: PHIL!!!! on Sunday, March 19, 2006, 18:19:17 ALSO, when Caton has played, hes looked good on the ball and 'looks' like he could bag a few goals for us.
Other people have said how good he's looked in reserve games and senior games. Title: Players to keep ? Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Sunday, March 19, 2006, 18:21:40 get rid of them all! simple! why the fuck does shakes only make the bench these days?

Post by: Danjackson10 on Sunday, March 19, 2006, 18:23:41 I dont have a clue where to start to be honest! There are so many problems with our team we need to get rid of most of the team and start from scratch! Its been a long time since i have seen such a lack of character in a swindon team, we look so lifeless and weak! I really hope Iffy can do something with STFC but with such a lack of managerial experience, i just get the feeling that he is'nt the right man to turn things around! Please prove me wrong Iffy!
Title: Players to keep ? Post by: Duncan_Shearer on Sunday, March 19, 2006, 23:01:05 Evans is on £5000 a week, it is what he was on at Chelsea, think my sources are better than yours.

Title: Players to keep ? Post by: Dazzza on Monday, March 20, 2006, 00:51:41 Chilli wins hands down
I'd attempt to keep them all to be honest and then build around what's left after departures. Title: Players to keep ? Post by: el duque on Monday, March 20, 2006, 09:59:36 Certainly not Jack Smith... I loathed watching Duke turn out week after week, but this guy is actually worse!
Title: Players to keep ? Post by: McLovin on Monday, March 20, 2006, 10:33:54 He's certainly runnng him close. Which is strange, as when he first joined i thought he looked quite able.
Title: Players to keep ? Post by: DMR on Monday, March 20, 2006, 10:42:56 Agreed Jack Smith has gone rapidly downhill. Ongoing injury niggle that kept him out a while back?
I'd keep Ifil, O'Hanlon, Nicholas, P Smith, Shakes, Platt, Peacock and Cureton if possible, the rest can fuck off. Title: Players to keep ?

And I think you're a spazzer. Title: Players to keep ? Post by: Batch on Monday, March 20, 2006, 10:57:26 I'd keep the following assuming we go down
Evans, Sean - O Brown Shakes, Gurney or P. Smith Curo, Peacock. CCP. Maybe: Roberts Ifil Outs: Whalley, Migs (would be a waste in div 4), Nicho, J Smith, Benji. My prediction of who will actually stay: Gurns, Ifil P.Smith, Whalley, Peacock, CCP*, Shakes* *though they could get snapped up, they are out of contract aren't they? Title: Players to keep ?

I'd keep Ifil, O'Hanlon, Nicholas, P Smith, Shakes, Platt, Peacock and Cureton if possible, the rest can fuck off. I'd agree with that. I refuse to believe that Evans is paid £5k a week (£260k a year!) for playing for a stuggling league 1 outfit even if he is a decent keeper. There'll be 1st team players in the championship on less than that. Title: Players to keep ?

I'll guarantee to you that what Evans is on per week is closer to £500 than £5000 ! Last Summer his agent asked for twice what he was on in 2004-2005. The Board offered him a reduction in money. He and "his people" thought that Championship clubs and good League One clubs would come flocking after him with long term contracts sticking out of their pockets. After much media speak about how he didn't want to disrupt his family, loved it in Swindon, etc, etc he swallowed his not inconsiderable pride and accepted whatever the board offered him. He wasn't on £5000 per week last season and he isn't on £5000 per week now. Title: Players to keep ? Post by: McLovin on Monday, March 20, 2006, 18:21:06 it's always interesting to hear BigStan's insights, as they are usually dead accurate...
Title: Players to keep ? Post by: Dazzza on Monday, March 20, 2006, 18:36:02 Can't see it being to different this summer.
Clubs seem far more inclined to use their youth keeper rather than invest in older experienced backup these days and I’m not sure Evans has won over enough plaudits this season that’s going to get him noticed enough as automatic first team material. Then there’s the old emergency loan farce which provides clubs with the flexibility and cover to always bring someone in as and when required rather than pay a keeper a salary over 12 months for bench warming. If he departs then I can only see it being for another league two club as first choice otherwise he’s going to be picking over offers which offer him no guarantees of first team football.

I'd agree with that. But like a lot of people have already said the team might be split with those who know they are leaving/staying and therefore putting in mixed amounts of effort.

But like a lot of people have already said the team might be split with those who know they are leaving/staying and therefore putting in mixed amounts of effort. I don't buy that argument for a second. If they are staying then they want to do their best for the team (or so you would hope). If they are leaving then unless they already have something sewn up (unlikely given the current climate in lower league football... and the fact that many of them are remarkably lacking in talent) they have their livelihoods to play for in the hope of impressing another club... I find it inconceivable that a guy who doesn't know where (if anywhere) they will be playing next year would stop trying at this stage of the season. Title: Players to keep ? Post by: DV on Tuesday, March 21, 2006, 18:36:56 Cant really compare Duke and J.Smith.
J.Smith is a full back, Andy King just thought Duke was a full back. |
