At this moment in time our season is dead and buried with only the prospect of mid table or relegation fight to look forward too. To that end how many fans think that the players we have will be good enough to get us to mid table obscurity? Life is all about opinions but I honestly believe that the ONLY players we have in our club worth having/ keeping are : Bodin, sercombe, Harrison and Lockyer. I personally would look to remove every other player in our squad, either by transfers/ loaning out or paying up their contracts. The manager has been extremely loyal to the players who have gotten us into this division but I think a total clear out in this window is needed and long overdue. By removing so many players at one time will obviously cause massive disruption but if we simply tweak things in January we will continue to struggle even next season. The money generated from this clearance sale would give us the opportunity to bring in the REAL quality required to survive this season and then build for next season. All the other players not on my mini list , in my opinion, are good enough ( with lack of skills,concentration and doing basic things well) to get to the next level/ top six our manager bangs on about. Short term pain now with long term gain is ,for me, the only option on the table.

Oh dear indeed! A bit extreme to say the least. Midland will be all over this like a tramp on sandwich. |

Such a course of action would only be feasible if there was an owner willing to sign blank cheques - this clearly isn't going to happen. Stripping the squad bare and starting from scratch with freebies and peanut transfer fees would more likely see us relegated |

I dont see how getting rid of all bar the aforementioned will generate any real money especially if as suggested we have to buy out contracts of players who attract no interest.
Huge clearouts seldom work , just remember Paul Buckles rebuild job, that went well didnt it, be very careful what you wish for, a 'new' team of journeymen is a recipe for absolute disaster.
Lets trust the manager to evolve this squad next summer.

Ain't going to happen, shouldn't happen and OP could have added his comments to the existing thread on who's going. What I find annoying is how fans expect loyalty from our best players and go into melt down when they leave but are happy to instantly dismiss those players who, despite getting us promoted twice, are now struggling with form.

They where good enough to get us to 10th last season and they are good enough to do it this season as well

I don't favour a huge clear out as it's too disruptive, I'd rather we added 3 or 4 players in each of the next three transfer windows. Much depends on whose available and what we can afford but more chance of picking up a couple of gems in each window rather than a completely new team. Priorities this window for me are a wide midfield player, a combatative midfielder and an experienced central defender and ideally one or two of them with some leadership qualities. That is not easy to achieve let along a whole new team as poster effectively suggests.

I hope DC's recruitment is better this time round after all with the exception of Liam Secombe his recruits in the summer have not been a success.
Three premiership youngsters, two never play and the other is nowhere near as good as he was last season as well as a big money signing (for us) and it shows he has so far got most of them wrong.
I understand all this talk about new signings in Jan but for me they need to be experienced players, otherwise I would give some of our own youngsters a chance.
