Byram.......... If he ain't carrying a serious injury Ross............. If he stops being a diving fanny Pearce. End of list.
I'd probably keep Byram Pearce Wooton Warnock Mowatt Murphy (maybe) Tonge for backup McCormack Smith We might be stuck with Stewart. Assuming of course replacements can be found for all others otherwise, Lees and Austin might be retained as well.
Either because their contracts are too long, they would be required or because they might develop further I would imagine we would retain the services of: Byram Pearce Zakliukas Wootton Warnock Murphy Mowatt McCormack Smith Although nobody really deserves to stay I can't see us building an entire team from scratch. The likes of Warnock and Zakliukas and Mowatt and Smith kept as reserve and squad players
You can add Brown to the list of retained, even for one more season, unless of course a midfield enforcer becomes available.
Boggers where is the positivity. I expected you to say keep em all and bri will sort it out with no distractions. You have let yourself down badly mate.
It takes a lot of positivity to admit Brown should stay another year! Only kidding Boggers, if he can control himself a bit more I'd probably agree. I just see him as a liability, his fitness levels are commendable, but his tackles are horrific at times.
I apologise most profusely Glory. Trouble is, with the mafia now in charge, they will be making various players offers they can't refuse, & we'll see a few players coming over from Italy. Either way, if we can hang on to Ross, Byram, Mowatt etc, we'll be a good bet for at least top 6 next season
Personally if it was me I would keep the following first team players: 1. Paddy Kenny - He is not a bad keeper, he would great cover for a championship team. 2. Sam Byram - He has had a very tough season, but I would keep him. 3. Scott Wootton - Had some injuries this season, but think he is good enough for the Championship. 3. Jason Pearce - Had a good season all things considering, starting to look a consistent performer. 4. Stephen Warnock - Decent backup. 5. Luke Murphy - In some games he is very good, still young. 6. Alex Mowatt - Brilliant debut season, promising player. 7. Ross Mcormack - Obvious, really. 8. Matt Smith - Brilliant signing, has done great in tough circumstances. Notable mentions for: Charlie Taylor / Chris Dawson / Dominic Poleon / Zach Thompson - think these lads may do well, don't know enough about the other kids. Final thought: Rudolph Austin; Not sure about him, I love his tough tackling game and his spirit, but his passing and shooting is so poor. I wouldn't mind either way. Same goes with Danny Pugh/Michael Brown I don't mind them either.
I can't make my mind up at all on Poleon. He always looks lively and determined when he comes on, but a bit frantic and headless chicken like. His footballing brain needs to improve, which I thought it would by being involved this season but his involvement has been really limited
Get rid of all of them except: McCormack Byram Smith Poleon Mowatt Dawson Thompson Taylor Also keep the rest of the development squad.
Wondered who'd be the first to bag it as a username Fair play LiE. Not too long back people were complaining there were too many LeedsIn... usernames, now we're all jumping ship!
McCormack, Pearce, smith if he learns to jump and a fit Byram, not the crock we had this year. That's it for me, show the rest the door
