NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

14. Neil Cousins ;)

Here's my list;-
Joe Day - RETAIN - raw, young talent with a lot of potential ;; big guy for a goalie his age, will improve I'm sure
Miller - Release (maybe retain on a monthy contract), he's a great asset in certain situations such as his long throw, but getting OTT
Osano - Release, error prone and liability
Huke - Release, never been impressed, used in wrong position, no left foot
Jamie Day - RETAIN, good potential but bad decisions from time to time, will learn to eradicate these from his game
Oshodi - Sign him up, he has a great touch and will improve given his age
Corcoran - Release, never got any better even though a decent squad player
Johnson - RETAIN, big strong lad, with bags of potential IMO
Power - RETAIN - sometimes he goes missing and is a bit airy fairy & lightweight, but will improve with experience and time
Porter - Release, contraversial I know, but he's never set us on fire and never dominated in midfield for my money, will probably go anyway
Charles - RETAIN, again, a youngster with potential, but needs to affect more games more often
Gary Mills - RETAIN, we need some stabiltiy and someone to sit in front of the back 4, Millsy does this well
O'Connor - RETAIN, never going to net us 20 goals a season, but should be getting 15
Gash - Release, 4-3-3 does not suit this player IMO - he needs service that is badly lacking
Cousins - Release, past sell by date
Farrell - Release, same as Cousins
Keehan - Release, not getting a look in
Smith - RETAIN, best prospect now at the club IMO (put in the best position for him)
Cowan - Hall - sign him up, bags of pace and loads of potential


This current squad is far too young and far too "jack of all trades", we need players who are specialists in their roles - and good at it not all-rounders who make this team so "average"

Cannot disagree although I think Osano will come good again and I think Gash is worth another season if we can afford him

If Osano was 1 of only 11 fit players we had available at the club, I'd still name him as a substitute ;)

If we ever played 442 again, I'd give him a go right wing, attacking ability is his best asset ;)
