Assuming we are relegated, what level of players would we need to get back up. Are all the players we have below League 2 standard? Can we go through the squad and assess their standard in terms of League standing. I've had a go at some but, based on our league performance I must be over estimating some and would be interested in the views of others, especially those who have seen them actually playing; I haven't had that privilege Goalkeepers Matt Ingram - possibly Premier Charlie Horlock - Defenders Marvin McCoy - L2 Charles Dunne - L1 Anthony Stewart - L2 Leon Johnson - L2 Nick Arnold - Gary Doherty - L2 Midfielders Josh Scowen - L2 Stuart Lewis - L2 Matt Spring - L2 Matt Bloomfield - L2 Sam Wood - L2 Jesse Kewley-Graham Max Kretzschmar - Sam Togwell - Strikers (apparently) Dean Morgan - L2 Paris Cowan-Hall - Anthony Jeffrey - Jon-Paul Pittman - Junior Morias - Jo Kuffour - Steven Craig - Reece Styche - Matt McClure - L2 Pierre and Rowe were good but have they gone back?
Goalkeepers Matt Ingram - prem in future Charlie Horlock - haven't seen Defenders Marvin McCoy - L2 Charles Dunne - L1 Anthony Stewart - championship class in the future Leon Johnson - L1 (maybe being a bit generous) Nick Arnold - conference is about his level Gary Doherty - L2 Midfielders Josh Scowen - championship if he can control the bookings a bit Stuart Lewis - L2 Matt Spring - L2 Matt Bloomfield - L2 (but I don't think he would look out of place in either conference or L1, he just seems to fit in!) Sam Wood - L1 (winger) L2 (full back) Jesse Kewley-Graham - conference south (but still young, so may get better) Max Kretzschmar - championship for future, about L1/2 now Sam Togwell - gone! Strikers (apparently) Dean Morgan - L1 when he can be bothered, conference south if not Paris Cowan-Hall - L2 Anthony Jeffrey - seen very little but not been impressed Jon-Paul Pittman - L2 when fit Junior Morias - conference south Jo Kuffour - Staffordshire county league division 2 playing for this lot http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26310150 Steven Craig - L2 Reece Styche - conference Matt McClure - L2
Seems like, with a little pruning, we could do all right with the squad we have and, if we are looking like going back up, get some decent players in to ensure we do go up and stay up. If necessary, replace the deadwood with some promising and enthusiastic youngsters who could grow into at least L2 players
kuffour would be great in the conference in all seriousness, if you do go down, this will be another club on kuffours long list of clubs who has got relegated with. he must be the most jinxed player!
he has scored 5 in something like 55 games for wycombe. 1 goal in every 11 games. he aint that bad surely? i blame the service he gets which must be poor!
Can't really say Jack as I only listen to commentaries, but it sounds like his first touch lets him down a lot.
This is where I expect the present squad to be plying their trade next season based on how they have done this season I will use no 1 to 6 to represent prem to con n/s and anyone with a 4 or 5 by there name could still be with us next season apart from Spring and Kuffour Goalkeepers Matt Ingram - 2/3 Sold Charlie Horlock - 5 Defenders Marvin McCoy - 4/5 Charles Dunne - 3/4 on loan from Blackpool Anthony Stewart - 3 Sold Leon Johnson - 4/5 or ret Nick Arnold - 3/4 on loan from Reading Gary Doherty - 4/5 or ret Midfielders Josh Scowen -2/3/4 Sold Stuart Lewis - 4/5 Matt Spring - 4/5/6 Matt Bloomfield - 4/5 Sam Wood - 3/4 Jesse Kewley-Graham-5/6 Max Kretzschmar -3/4 Sold Strikers Dean Morgan - 3/4 Paris Cowan-Hall -4/5 Anthony Jeffrey -5 Jon-Paul Pittman -5/6 or ret Junior Morias -4/5 Jo Kuffour - 5/6 or ret Steven Craig -Scotland Reece Styche -5 Matt McClure - 4/5
I sent in my CV. I guaranteed to score more goals than Kuffour. They wrote back asking "How many more". I'm considering my response.
So this could be our starting squad, going into the summer: Goalkeeper Charlie Horlock Defenders Marvin McCoy Charles Dunne (on loan from Blackpool) Leon Johnson (if not retired) Nick Arnold (on loan from Reading) Gary Doherty (if not retired) Midfielders Stuart Lewis Matt Bloomfield Sam Wood Jesse Kewley-Graham Strikers Dean Morgan Paris Cowan-Hall Anthony Jeffrey Jon-Paul Pittman (if not retired) Junior Morias Reece Styche Matt McClure
If we take out the possible retirees and on loan that would leave us with: 1 goalie 1 defender 4 midfielders 6 strikers That could explain why we haven't won many games
