Lee Peacock has more years left? Please No

"Play well or fuck off" that would have been the best Adver headline for years.

meh cut to the chase... :D

JPC will have all the info, where the fuck has he been lately?

Haha good question. Anyone would think a few of the youth teamers/first teamers have been given a bollocking about leaking stuff

No.  The best Adver headline from recent years was 'Parkin fears Jock's Trap'.  (Aug 2006, on the day Steve Parkin brought his Rochdale side to the County Ground.  'Jock' was Lee Peacock, who played under Parkin at Mansfield in the late 1990s.)

A framed copy of the paper that day now hangs in my downstairs toilet.

Were Paynter and Mcgovern on 2 or 3 year deals ?

Paynter definately 3, not sure about JPM...

According to his profile on the offical website, Marshall signed a 2 year deal in the summer.  I'm pretty sure the others who have a contract for next season are Amankwaah, Casal, Aljofree, Ifil, McGovern, McNamee, Timlin, Peacock, Cox & Paynter.

Missing from Gazza's list are the youngsters Joyce, Kennedy and Morrison who signed for 18 months last Feb and Allen who was given 2 years by Luggy.

I agree with Wilson's general sentiments but do think we should get Morrsion signed up regardless.

didn't sturrok give his boy a 4 year deal before he hopped it?

4?? Do me a favour - no-one gets offered deals of that length, let alone Sturrock. He did get 2 though.

P.Smith
J.Smith
Vincent
Easton
Corr
Brezovan
Kanyuka
Nalis
Pook
Sturrock
Joyce
Allen
Kennedy
Morris
Hyde
T.Evans

as per the back of the adver, no mention of Macklin or Morrison

Morris, Hyde and Tom Evans keep? I thought Hyde had already been told he'd be off in summer and Wycombe were lining him up?

Other than those three you're probably right.

Fo mo ho no shizzle?

Its only the fact they'll cost peanuts and can't be any worse than some of others. The theory is something along the lines of better being young and crap with time to improve than being old and crap.

Keep
Brezovan, Vincent, Allen.

Performances needed
Easton, Nalis, Kanyuka, Joyce, Kennedy.

The rest.
Dont care. Apart from Bazza (sorry its over, isnt it?).

Shame there arent a few others whose contracts are up (Macca, Paynter, JPM, Aljofree, CASAL, Amankwaah).

Agree spence although i think macca will come good and aljofree and casal will go anyway. I said before wilson has been shrewd not spending in january and knows he has a healthy budget end of the season

Jack Smith
Vincent
Easton
Brezovan

The rest are making up the numbers and need to go, although there are one or two who I'd keep if they showed significant improvement in the next couple of months.

Jake Hyde has definatly been told he has a future at Swindon and the whole Wycombe thing was blown out of all proportions, Swindon wanted money for Jake and Wycombe wanted him on a free...so no deal, he didnt even have a trial there as was reported incorrectly elsewhere.

Im more confident than ever that Allen will make it. As a youth he was head and shoulders above the rest of that team. Just needs to learn a bit more about positioning and have a bit more confidence (he can go past a player) and he will be a great asset.

Just please please hope he keeps his feet on the ground. Dont get corrupted by the STFC pissheads!

I hope so, he's probably my favourite player at the minute. Not that it's a great achievement amongst the current lot. A little League One Xavi Hernandez.

Im not so sure if we released some of our players we'd find better ones. Take for example Phil Smith. He's been poor this season but lets not go into that. His previous seasons he's been a very steady keeper for us. He was probably even better than Brez was last season.

This is the first time for a number of years we've had two decent keepers. Rather than one keeper and a cheap rubbish/youngster on the bench as cover. Sure he's been poor this season but hopefully he'll come good under Wilson.

Although I reckon he wont want to stay here as a number 2 anyway and will go to someone who can offer him first team football.

So, Id keep the likes of P.Smith, J.Smith, Easton, Allen, Vincent, Brez & Kennedy.

I'd like to see more of Kanyuka in midfield before I judge him but he hasnt impressed me up untill now. Corr depends on fitness maybe a pre season and a short term contract mainly made up of bonuses based on appearences.

Morris, Hyde and Evans I wouldnt know enough.

Pook, Nalis and Sturrock can all go

Malpas did say this sort of thing. But it was usually an idle threat because he couldnt attract better players than what we already had.

Ime warming to Amankwah..and he wont be going while Wilsons here..obviously the main point is(which i think again the adver didnt point out)if we go down or stay up depends on who will stay or who goes.

Good point Leefer.
