The Squad List (2024/25 Edition)

[Peter Venkman]

The team we had back then could have gone all the way to the old Division 1. And they should definitely have gone up in 79/80. They fell to pieces after we were knocked out of both cups and lost a crucial top of the table, televised game, against Sheffield Wednesday all in the space of a couple of weeks. They hardly won a game from then on until the end of the season (although there were a couple of memorable ones - Rotherham, 6-2 when Andy Rowland got 4 goals and Gillingham, 3-0, and a young, permed, Steve Bruce got red-carded .
They couldn't win away from home though.

It was the away form that screwed us up, the draw in the game away at Oxford when we drew preceeded a run of 10 consecutive defeats on the road.

Head groundsman out for the rest of the season.

Blimey. Skiing is definitely silly. Fun. But silly.

[Power to people]

Is there a deputy or will Clem get AFH to add it to his list of jobs ?

Seeing as Clems recruitment policy is to check who used to work here, it'll be a return of Marcus Cassidy.

It's in the first post and up to date. Sam's Moonraker list is missing Dylan Mitchell but otherwise very helpful. It's not a bad situation at all, basically everyone who has another year you'd be happy to keep, and only a handful of those out of contract I'd be gutted to lose.

Whatever else he got wrong, Jamie Russell got the contract lengths right.

Sonny Hart on a two year deal?

Good grief.

Sonny Hart on a two year deal?

Good grief.

Regardless of who he is and why he's at the club at all, giving any 18 year old a 1 year deal just seems silly.

Yep.
It’s exactly the same as was given to Redman Evans & Jaxon Brown etc

Keep Ripley, Bycroft, Cox, Cain, Oforborh, Drinan for me

[Pericardinho]

Keep Ripley, Bycroft, Cox, Cain, Oforborh, Drinan for me

Keep Cain? based on what exactly? he'll of been here 2.5 years soon and hasn't even played 50 games.

He has a decent left foot but unless you are converting him to a left back, he isn't physical enough to play in midfield and not good enough to be a #10.

[Batch]

Ripley & Oforborh - yes
Drinan - Possible
others - whatever.

[iParadise]

Keep (from most important to least):

Ripley
Oforborh
Cox
Drinan

Im in too minds over Glaztz. In my heart i want to keep him but he's been so disappointing this season. I guess he's decent as squad depth though

[Peter Venkman]

Jury still out on Drinan for me, yes he has shown glimpses in his recent games where he has looked pretty good but in the main he is a bang average L2 striker and not really done enough to earn a contract IMO.

Jury also out on McGurk, yes he has tons of skill but putting that into action regularly seems to be the issue.

Ripley is a must keep as is Ofoborh, Cox is hit and miss as is Glatzel who at times looks great but others looks a passenger.

I would 100% let Cain go, theres better out there for free I am sure in a similar role.
