There’s about 5 or 6 real duds in that list most from Betsy. Plus we have 3 senior players from the Yems era that WAGMI will no doubt be banished for ‘legal reasons’. Could be a struggle again next season. The year after could be the big one if we get the recruitment right.
Just glad its clear what's what after all of the goings on on the forum. We moan about Wagmi but between us here on the forun we couldnt organise a - well you know what!
I wouldn’t be totally surprised if the squad looks quite a bit different by the start of August. As Alex says, if the ‘toxic’ 3 were shipped out last season, why would it be any different this season unless somebody has managed to talk some sense into the Chuckles….

The Trouble is when you look through that list of 24 Potential Players Retained this is what I see (and i'm sure if most of you are being honest you will see similar numbers as mine below) :-
4 Players who have Improved their Form/Ability - Ransom, Tsaroulla, Khaleel, Oteh. 3 Players who have Stayed in the Same Form/Ability - Tilley, Gladwin, Gordon. 17 Players whose Form/Ability has Got Slowly Worse - (OTHER 17 ON LIST - Due to Age, Injuries, Management, Lack of Action or Just Gone Downhill).
We Need at least 4 GREAT Signings or we are in Trouble Again.
Need to strengthen that's for sure and hopefully SL can bring in some proven players we cant take gambles again. I never want to go through a season like the one we have just had again it was again and just awful most of the time worrying about relegation.

You should add Corey Addai to the improved list (prepares to be shot down in flames....)

No shooting from me - he is a competent L2 standard keeper.
Jack Powell,Harry Ransan,Oteh and Corey for me were the standout players in the end of season great escape.
That's not a bad spine of the team. Personally I think we could do with a midfield battler to control things in the centre of the park. We are all too often overrun in midfield.
Ransom IMO is our best CB. Partner him with Craig (if he's still here) Lynch (if he's fit) or Conroy (if he's fit). And with Ludwig gone hopefully we can get Tobi Omole fit as another CB option. He looked good before he got crocked.
If Oteh stays, he needs to play up front with Telford. Nadesan and Tilley out wide or options off the bench. I imagine SL will want to sign another striker (hopefully one with goals in him) if Kwesi doesn't stay, cover at full back, a couple of experienced midfielders now that Mutch and Grant have moved on, and we will need a new goalie to provide competition/cover for Addai.
I can see the likes of Roles, Mason, Davis and Kastrati being sold/paid off, as I don't think they will feature much. Not quite at the level we need.

Admittedly Addai had a Good Last 5 League Games for us and contributed to helping us stay in the Football League, but my assessment of his season was:-
8 - Good Games
7 - Okay Games
10 - Poor Games
7 - Stinkers
But yes, there is an argument to say he improved as the season went on.

Are they all your assessments of his actual live performances throughout the season that you watched in person - that’s 32 games- so you admit that you have done more away games this season.
