I was thinking the other day that it's about time we had a decent season following three years of pretty bad football, players and end of season finishes, so since the start of JG's first full campaign in charge - starting from the summer of 2014 when it all started to go wrong - who would be in your worst XI from players who have pulled on the shirt more than five times for us?
For me:
(4-4-2)
Daryl Flahavan Lewis Young Alex Davey Sonny Bradley Andre Blackman Bobson Bawling Luke Rooney Conor Henderson Charles Banya Gavin Tomlin Lee Barnard
I'd question if this team is even Conference South standard and yet many of them played in League One for us!
Of course, the game is about opinions, so who'd be in your XI? We've had plenty of dross in the last three years or so.
I would have Yusuf Mersin in goal. Probably a worse goalkeeper than Rene Gilmartin. I am surprised you picked Bobson Bawling as he kept oppossing defenders on their toes as they never knew what he would do next.

Bradley the donkey, Davey and Barn door Barnard for sure...hopefully if you ask same question in a year the forthcoming team wont feature...i fear many might though
No troubles. I could always call up one of Richefond, Boateng or Fallon to make the numbers up.
Come to think of it I was privileged to see the only live appearances of Evandro de Lima and Matt Fletcher in a reds shirt. Quality.
I was going to bring in Rene Gilmartin, Abdulai Bell-Baggie, Daniel Pappoe, Sanchez Watt and Jamie Proctor as needed some brilliance from the bench
we have now pulled out nearly 30 players in just 3 years who were frankly awful you could probably add Sullay Kaikai to that list too
That's before we get on to Mitch Rose, Shaun Miller, Luke Rooney, Emile Sinclair, Chris Atkinson and Jason Banton.
In fact I was a bit harsh picking Andy Bond at RB when of course James Hurst is available for selection.
Still as the cream on the cake I give you Jimmy Spencer, signed on loan but never fit enough to play! I guess we could create a separate 'injury room' to include him, Conor Henderson, Matt Harrold and Lanre Oyebanjo.
Blimey we have had enough clag in recent years to create two or three decent Rymans teams.
