So we go down to league 2 and we can start again with a blank canvass. Who would you keep from our contracted players?
For me - THD (if we can), Rodman, o. Clarke, JCH.
The other good ones you don’t see listed i.e locks and sercs - I’d sell in order to help them and help us rebuild.

I think Liam S is out of contract in the summer so he will either sign or not sign, no money coming there. But you are right,I’m sure that GC will be thinking about who goes and who stays. Though tbh today’s result doesn’t make anything more or less certain about next season, still a lot to play for imo.
UTG!

I think if we kept a large portion of the squad and just added 2/3 quality players we’d perform very well in league 2. We have the nucleus of a good team, just missing wingers, quality centre mid and a striker.
Would get rid of any high earners (Lines etc) and go towards an Accrington style wage budget. We need to become more sustainable as a club and shouldn’t be overpaying for anyone. Id rather us in a lower division being self sustainable than leaking money in L1 overpaying players like Bennett and Lines.

So we go down to league 2 and we can start again with a blank canvass. . Two blank canvases and a striped one. |

I think its apparent that recent additions are a slight improvement on the average standard of the squad so they will set the bar for future recruitment and retention. Bonham/Lockyer/Ogogo/JCH would form a decent spine to build around. Craig could leave now if he likes.

Agree with THD and JCH, as for the other two they can leave tomorrow as far as I am concerned. |

We are crud at home under g.c.
We were playing some really good football at the mem under D.c and not getting the ball in the back of the net.
Now we are just pure w@nk.
Can’t even create chances.
Bring back D.c

Might be just me but Craig's been quality for us this season, would be gutted to see him go, especially if we did go down as he'd be more than decent for a L2 side. Don't let one bad game change your opinion on someone who has put in a real shift in for us this season. |

I think overall he has done ok, but his lack of pace and distribution badly let's him down at times. |

I think overall he has done ok, but his lack of pace and distribution badly let's him down at times. Sometimes but he uses his nous and experience to organise the defence and predict situations. Not a long term solution perhaps but for the next couple of years there's more to come out of him. |

Only mistake he made was to let the ball slip out for a corner as opposed to clearing in when caught in 2 minds. The fact we weren’t ready for the quick corner and allowed Grigg to pull off the far post into space to attack the ball wasnt Craig’s fault - it’s was Sunderland’s better game management

Without doubt I’d also keep Lockyer & James Clarke as well.
Lockyer with the right CB is excellent. He was also very good in L2.
JC has had a good season for us and a great squad player to have.

It’s hard to justify keeping many to be fair ... sadly I think we are stuck with Bennett and Payne for another year unless we buy out their contracts. Nichols, Reilly,, Ogogo and JCH will all do well in L2.
We need a real leader on the pitch ... it’s not TL
Bonham will go back to Brentford....Lockyer may well get another L1 club, Sercombe to MK Dons or Exeter. THD will get snapped up by someone higher up the food chain!
Expecting GC to clear out ....Leadbitter, Partington, Lines, Matthews, Ollie Clarke, Upson, Smith and Slocombe.
