    You mugging yourself off?

    First he's out of contract
    Second he's a div 1 level player
    Third he's from down south
    Forth he can get more money elsewhere
    Five he might want to join a team with ambition

    Wouldn't keep one to be honest.

    I wouldn't keep Reeves. He simply doesn't do enough, has a great knack of looking busy but being very ineffective. Complete clear out for me apart from O'Donnell and Donaldson, maybe keep McCartan. The rest are simply not up to it. A wasted season all in all and another season in L2 pending

    Reeves is hugely over rated

    I agree with most of your posts Fordy. But for me Reeves has been a massive disappointment since he returned. Any manager worth his salt will see this! Reeves is spent, hes not what any team needs for a L2 slog. Hed be the first one out of the door for me

    Reeves had a great game today. I know what you mean about the busy thing and there are games where that is the case but I still think he has lots to offer when played properly as he is starting to be now.

    I'd prefer for Stuart to build his own team. We could easily ditch the majority of those players and bring in half as many, better quality players. The bulk of the midfield can go for me, that area needs a complete rethink and no passengers.

    Has to be a complete rebuild starting with a proper Leader in the McCall/Jones bracket. Along with the ones out of contract we need to make sure that the likes of Guthrie; Novak Connolley, Pritchard; Lonridge; French; Motley-Crew; Henley; Mellor; Devine; Ismail; Cooke is that everybody ?? Join the OOCs and leave the building empty bar Stuart and Kenny sat there thinking "its another fine mess I've gotten us into Kenny" Get on Whats App and see if we can call in some favours ??

    At least we’ll have a chance of clearing the decks of the losing mentality shirkers.

    If, and it’s a big if, we scrape over the line we might have enough in the coffers to attract league one quality players and ditch the majority. If we fail, then I’d imagine quite a few on the list will be offered new deals unfortunately.

    Think I'd get rid of donaldson though i do like him need some youth and pace upfront. Already got novak and poss vaughan next season no spring chickens. Guthrie so far doesn't look out special.

    You’d keep Henley who is poor, Donaldson who will be 37 at the end of next season and McCartan who lacks any consistency? Reeves won’t stay and I’d expect to see Stuart try to get some of the contracted players out, Guthrie, Longridge and Vaughan amongst them.

    Can’t keep rebuilding every season. Needs a longer term approach which you’re not getting unless Cap’n Admin leaves the building.
