Go all out to secure Walker. No chance with Bass, the Cowleys love him.

The rest can go. Big overhaul ahead. Again

 

Retained list for next season

Ridehalgh
Foulds


That’s yer lot.

New broom necessary.

oh and sign Walker.

 

Canteen cat

Yep, that'll do....

 

O’Donnell - Gone
Theo - Gone
Evans - Gone
Lavery - Gone
Angol - Gone
Cooke - Gone. We'll probably offer something but he's been part of 3 declining seasons. His dad was vocal about wanting his son out the club fairly recently and he'll want to kick start his career again.
Paudi - Gone. We'll probably offer something but he's had 3 declining seasons. Needs to leave to play higher.
Levi - Not sure, i think we'll offer him but he'll probably test the waters.
Foulds - Think he will stay
Vernam - Gone. We will offer him a deal but i cant see him wanting to stay. There's a player in there, he's just been really inconsistent with form and fitness this season.
Watt - Gone. Not a chance he stays even if we offer him a great deal. Another one with family being vocal about him leaving.
Olivier sunieki kid - Gone
Charlie wood kid - Gone
Luke hendrie - Think he will stay

Loanees - Try for Walker as he's moved his kids to the area, but with a good amount of clubs within an hour of Bradford he could have potentially a lot of chasers in the summer. Not bothered about the rest.

 

That's left back sorted then

 

And Watt. Don't judge Watt on a Adam's side

 

Yep and I’m serious. The rest are completely and utterly stale.

 

Hes struggled to put a pass in this season and has gone backwards. So it’s no for me.

 

Let's see how he does now though.

Not sure Adams style suited him. Attack as fast as you can isn't ideal for a technical midfielder.

 

I feel some are starting to be sentimental all of a sudden Jon. We really need a root and branch chance throughout the footballing side of the club, that’s my point.

What is the point of a midfielder who hits 2 out of ten long passes ( estimate) and scored what, one goal or so all season?

 

Well, he's young, and I think if we had the chance to sign a young midfielder with his pedigree and experience we would all want to.

Watt is one good season away from having resell value, and we need all the value we can get if we're running sustainably.

 

Walker would like but will go higher

 

As an extra-any players who’s contracts are expiring that we’d like here? Realistic players-no Mbappe

 

Keep:

Cooke
Levi
Foulds
Vernam
Watt

Get rid of the rest.

 

I thought we all agreed the short term sustainability has to go , temporarily, if we want a new era ?

Adams departure won’t have been cheap so that’s a sign to me sustainability has been put on the back burner?

 

I’d like to see Watt and Cooke in particular in the last 15 games, they have been terrible under Adams it’s their chance to show it was him not them.

Happy to keep Hendrie and Foulds, solid league 2 squad players.

Sutton always gives 100% can’t really pass, but good player at league 2.

Vernam only exciting player at the club imo, direct and fast. Inconsistent but so was Kyle Reid and he’s at least a bit younger and two footed than Reidy. Again good player at this level.

Paudie not as good as some think, but he’s another 100% player and as a squad player there wouldn’t be many better rotation players playing CB at this level so happy to keep.

We need our heads testing if we keep any of the others.

If I’m honest though I wouldn’t be upset if any of them left tbh, non are stand out league 2 players who give you that quality to take the game by the scruff of the neck on and sort of regular occurrence. A sad state of where the clubs at.

 

Prefer to make a judgement nearer end of season once the weight of Adams is off the backs of players and allowed to express themselves, Some are obvious as high earners/not playing but others could be worth keeping if they earn it

 

I've seen enough of Watt in a Stuart side and a Trueman side to make my opinion thanks. Gone for me. Too many hollywood balls and gives away too many free kicks. Couldn't tackle a girl guide with both her legs tied up.
