Hinchliffe Minihan Arthur Palmer Hogan Walker Maynard Mcalinden Bennett. That’s All id keep with the rest being experienced FL players I wouldn’t keep Minihan personally. He’s done a fine job over the last few seasons and appreciate everything he’s done, but his end product hasn’t improved and we need more output from our fullbacks, particularly if deploying a 3-5-2. Would be tempted to keep Osborne too. He plays better with higher quality around him. Was brilliant alongside Tom Walker. Minihan would be one of the first players I'd look to keep. I reckon a year of full-time training will see him improve, just as he has every season he's been with us. |

as long as we sign someone who can bag a few goals in i do not think with the present quad we were that far behind being champions material before the season came to a halt. at least i trust our manager to get the majority of signings right. you could get the leagues best 11 players signed up but it does not mean they will gell as a team.

Question mark's over keeping Thomas & Mulhern as I think there will be better out there & JG has a track record of bringing in loan keepers if the No.1 position needs improving

Would be very surprised if Thomas is released. He’s hard working, versatile and does exactly what’s he’s told, and there is always space for that sort of player under JG.
Personally, I’d keep Bell over Mulhern, but expect both to leave.

I mean what is he good at? What are his outstanding attributes that make him stand out? Nothing springs to mind for me. If hes kept on for next season then hes a squad player at best for me if we are recruiting better quality. |

He had a great start to the season but then seemed to tail off towards the latter end of the season. I'd be surprised to see him released though. |

He doesn’t have fantastic natural ability but at the same time he can fill multiple positions, is very tactically aware and has great work rate. Perfect squad player. |

Thomas outstanding ability is work rate / stamina
Not the most glamorous of abilities, but key to the way we play.
He also has a great connection with Minihan, and both of them make the other look much better when they play together.

They both are very poor crossers and can’t really beat a man one-on-one which holds them back at the top end of the National League. |

Low, flat crosses which don’t beat the first man. |

I cant understand how none of you have mentioned Osborne , by far and away our best midfield player this season, and probably the most potential of any player

A concern of mine was how many times last season we got undone by teams with pace, whilst not really having anyone who could offer the same threat. We looked very pedestrian at times in our build up & definitely lacked an outlet

Low, flat crosses which don’t beat the first man. Low flat crosses which don’t beat the first man or intentionally kicking the ball in to the first man to win a corner when there’s nobody in the box to get on the end of a delivery. It’s no coincidence to me that we had above average numbers of corners per game last season. |
