Your squad for next season

Post by Rich Tea Wellin »

Assuming the season is done and then we are in league two next season, what’s your squad looking like?

Gk - viggy
LB - new player
CB - Ekpiteta
CB - Happe
RB - new player

RM - JMD
CM - new player
CM - new player (cisse from reports)
LM - brophy

ST - Sotiriou
ST - new striker

Subs:
New gk
Widdowson
New CM
New Winger
Wilkinson
Angol
Johnson

Sort of depressing there’s so many players under contact next season who shouldn’t be anywhere near the squad, and players like Marvin and Ruel who are out of contract.

Basically that but you know we won't sign any strikers, nor LB nor CM. Ling will return at RB and a couple of academy players will warm the bench to make up the numbers.

Ekpiteta to leave on a free
Sotiriou could also go if club doesn't pull its finger out

1st XI

GK: Vigoroux (under contract)
RB: Ling (under contract)
CB: Coulson (under contract)
CB: ???
LB: Brophy (under contract)
DM: Cisse (will sign a deal)
CM: Wright (under contract)
CM: Clay (under contract)
RW: Johnson (under contract)
LW: JMD (under contract)
ST: Wilkinson (under contract)

2nd XI

GK: Janata (decent no. 2)
RB/CB: Turley (under contract)
CB: ???
LB/CB: Widdowson (under contract)
LB: Sweeney (under contract)
CM: Kyprianou (under contract)

Sarge (will get released), Marvin (will leave on a free for a L1 club), Judd (will be released), Happe (will sign for a Champ club), Ogie (will be moved on), Gorman (will be released), Jobi (will retire), Dayton (will be released), Marsh (will go elsewhere on a free), Shabani (will be released), Dennis (will move on), Harrold (will be released), Angol (will be sold), Sotiriou (will sign for a L1 club), Alabi (will be released), Sterling (will go elsewhere after failing to make an impact).

Big rebuild on our hands and I wish I felt even remotely inspired by the idea of Ross & Ling identifying new recruits.

Depressing.
So many duds bloating the squad and using the precious budget.

To be fair that is the scale of the rebuild JE probably had in mind.

I’d take two acceptable L2 standard players instead of Clay and Wright.

Shabani needs to stay, he will get in the first next as the next youngester along with Ogie and Sweeney. Ruel would be better off staying with us and developing further before stepping up at this stage of his career, it’s criminal that Ling has not got him under contract, the same goes for Marv as well.

This is something I very much hope our DoF is working flat out to resolve. I shan't be holding my breath..

Really depressing seeing this laid out.

The starting 11 as it stands now isn’t that bad - we’re a couple of players away from being a really good L2 side. But then you see who is likely to leave and the duds that are here until 2021 and realise the size of the rebuilding job.
