    Up to now he has been poorly handled, he like Towler and other youngsters need protecting when the senior players are performing like they have especially at home.

    Maybe in the future but we would struggle to get close to our money back at the moment, needs another season of improvement to get anywhere close.

    I suspect yesterdays performance allied with the uncertainly surrounding Pearson will be putting off a hell of a lot of season ticket holders from renewing, I am certainly waiting until the last minute, because I don't trust Ashton to advise SL not to employ him and we end up with yet another cheap option.

    I agree with that........in fact, it's what I've been saying consistently......there are a few others I would also keep!! O'Dowda, Pats Vyner. Nagy to name 4

    Here's your homework, tell me exactly how many chances he has missed? and then tell me exactly how many chances have been created for him?

    If our crappy midfield cannot create then Kane or Vardy would struggle to score.

    PS:- Don't let onefer hear you dissing an LJ signing.

    He's a grumpy bugger, but I agree.....I like Wells and again he would be so much better with quality players around him.....we have some, but not enough..

    Don’t be patronising, he’s missed loads of chances , as for his free kicks or attitude, he’s been an awful signing, partially not his fault as Played out of position, but needs to improve greatly.

    You know my opinion on Paterson he is far too weak and far too inconsistent, ODowda is under contract but needs to seriously improve his consistency and Nagy as long as we can address the organisation and leadership in midfield.

    Vyner has been the shining light of a poor season and should be ahead of Mariappa in the pecking order.

    Not patronising, you made a statement and I am asking for evidence, tell me about these loads of missed chances.

    Free kicks FFS, we haven't got a free kick taker in the whole squad they are all ****e, every last one of them, if memory serves we have scored one all season.

    Can't wait to hear about the loads of missed Wells chances.

    Wow pot/kettle you claim we have a decent squad, I claim that we are likely to see around 10 players on their bikes, that does not indicate a a decent squad and as Pearson we cannot keep giving these players more chances.

    Most new managers that go to clubs has a clear out of sorts.......it's normal.......you're making it out to be unique.....it's not.
    You have a right moan about most of the squad and then name quite a few that should or will be kept..................going around in circles IMO.
    He was appointed to make the team/squad better............if he's the manager that most on here think he is, then come the summer, players will go that he feels don't fit and players he wants on board should do the business...........if not, he will end up out the door like his predecessors!!!

    I have been quite clear throughout, including the loans and short term signings there are 14 players out of contract and I would only offer terms to Weimann and Walsh, I would let the other 12 leave.

    Out of the rest DaSilva needs to prove his fitness.
    ODowda and Moore need to improve greatly on their consistency.
    And Pring at 23 years of age needs to step up to the mark along with Nurse.

    As for midfield players Williams and Walsh also need to prove fitness and that they can deliver, Bakinson needs red bull, Massengo needs to be treated like a young player and not an established player and we need a midfield leader, a right back and 2 strikers.

    That is my opinion and always has been.

    Too many to mention, if you rate him fare enough, I think he’s useless, doesn’t even look llke scoring, Fam has scored more with less game time

    Must admit, I'm not a big fan of Fammy.....for such a big guy and certain abilities, does very little for the team....IMO has become an impact player with 20 mins to go... I want to rate him, but I just don't., his first touch often lets him down.................having said that, as with a lot of our decent players, we do need some extra quality in midfield etc to bing out the best and maybe that's where he falls short.

    Not clear at all........constantly moaned regarding O'Dowda, Palmer, Massengo etc in the past without highlighting the potential....you've changed your stance lately, but who's to know how you see them from game to game. You've become a bit like RR.....IMO..:emoticon-0136-giggl
    At least I've been consistent on all the players I've mentioned from the start.......just saying!!

    So lets have it, without any if's or ramblings ............what players would you get rid and what players should be kept........not whether they should, could & prove etc......just as is.

    That's bollox about Palmer, I said bring him back from Swansea, I think you are mixing me up with ROD, Massengo has been poorly managed until recently and yes ODowda I agree I don't not rate him, IMHO he has not been consistent since arriving, he is under contract any decision is his, but on the other hand you have claimed we have a 'decent' squad and you have changed your stance probably as late as today.

    Your last question is ridiculous, we can only base that on those out of contract and I have said I would only offer terms to Weimann and Walsh, that leaves 12 to go, the others are under contract, if they want to stay they stay.

    We need an injection of real quality at right back, midfield and up front, a mixture of what's left and the promotion of younger players, should be enough, of course that does not allow for any of Bentley, Kalas, Semenyo or maybe Bakinson leaving for cash.

    We are still able to sell if they are in a contract.....so not ridiculous at all..
    Ramblings......as I expected :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Of course it's ridiculous, we can only sell if the player agrees to leave, he has a contract FFS, I thought you ran a business.

    Unlike several on here my opinions are based on not missing a game either at AG or on BCTV for nearly 4 seasons, not basing it on highlights, lowlights, reports or imagination.
