    Same story every year because we don not have any consistency in manager or plan

    I'd release anyone out of contract and listen to offers for anyone else, huge clean sweep.

    Agree in the most part but I don’t rate Chapman at all.

    McDonald can’t be released as he’s under contract next season.

    You would offer Taylor over Platt and keep Richards?
    Please tell me you're joking.
    Richards today looked lost against Harrogate ffs

    I liked Richards in his first few games but recently he looks dreadful. I'd rather have Bola. At least his throw-ins were entertaining.

    I think I'd be genuinely disappointed if we offered Smallwood another contract.

    I'm in the mindset now of I don't care who's performed admirably for us just get shut of as many as possible regardless I'm done with the lot of em.

    Richards has tailed off alarmingly that’s for sure

    Take offers for Taylor...under contract.
    Platt would be released.
    Richards Id keep as squad member.

    I agree,I’d even release Jamie Walker who could be a decent player but he misses too many games through injury and he’ll be one of the higher paid players.

    We can only hope but not sure who else would want him. Also remember that it was him that approached us, not the other way round.

    Walker is one of the most frustrating players for me, just behind Smallwood

    The load of them are fecking shite, whatever is going on behind the scenes they still have fans in the stands who pay their wages each week travel up and down the country to watch them. Have some pride and put in at least half a performance weak @?#&.
