    O'Donnell perhaps. The rest, like the loan players, can do one.

    O'Connor has another year left, he signed a three year deal I'm sure.

    Other than that I'd keep O'Donnell and Reeves. Then maybe Ismail, McCartan and Donaldson. Maybe. But I wouldn't care if those three left. Rest not good enough.

    There's no point keeping Ismael, he's never fit enough to play. Time to move him on and get a replacement we can rely on.

    Yeah, that's the problem. On talent alone I think Stuart would like him but his injury record doesn't justify what I'd expect to be a decent wage.

    Do you know what I couldn’t care less if they all went. Sometimes I really miss players who move on, but I can honestly say I wouldn’t miss any of them!

    I really do think Donaldson, Reeves & McCarten are only worth keeping but for 2 summers we keep replacing players with worse ones and that's got to stop, a smaller better squad.

    We've bombed out McLoughlin, McArdle, Law & Hiwula, a spine of a good team, and replaced them (more than once) with inferior "anybodys".

    Ant O'Connor signed a 3 year deal so has another year left.

    I'd probably just keep Donaldson and maybe Reeves and McCarten if they perform well for the rest of the season.

    Since Josh Cullen signed 4 years ago we have used 92 new players and that is part of the problem we have such a churn because we are signing tripe, and changing managers who then want new tripe.

    we need to take stock and sign a manager with a two year plan, and if that is SM he should have been given a 2.5year deal

    Think Reeves will take his chance to go back down south. The rest can go.

    Why would you keep Donaldson when he can't get into a rubbish team? And he'll be nearly 37.
