With a new boss that we can now get behind and excited about, how does he deal with a squad ruined by Russell Slade, he has no transfer window to bring in new recruits, so how can Michael Jolley get the best out of the large squad of 32?
Slade let Sam Jones and Jamey Osbourne go in the window, two players who had quality and will be missed, he should have got rid of others before these!

For me it is time to be ruthless and get some of those out of contract in the summer and a couple beyond that, get them out of the club now to give a smaller, tight knit squad more togetherness (and quality), I would do the following:

Goalkeepers           
Jake Kean*     Cancel loan
Ben Killip     
James McKeown     
                 
Defenders                 
Danny Collins     
Nathan Clarke      Pay up & release now!
Ben Davies     
Paul Dixon     Pay up & release now! (despite contract until June 2019)
Reece Hall-Johnson†     
Jack Keeble     
Zak Mills          
Karleigh Osborne     
Easah Suliman*     
                 
Midfielders                 
James Berrett     Pay up & release now!
Chris Clements†     Out on loan and probably unable to bring back?
Harry Clifton     
Sean McAllister  Possible pay up & release, unless he can show something to the new boss that he could offer something in the remaining games?
Mitch Rose     
Tom Sawyer     
Luke Summerfield     
                 
Wingers
Siriki Dembele     
Diallang Jaiyesimi*     
Sam Kelly     Pay up & release now! (despite contract until June 2019)
Martyn Woolford     Pay up & release now!
Max Wright†     On loan, bring back if able?
                 
Forwards                 
Harry Cardwell     
Jonathan Hooper  Pay up & release now! (despite contract until June 2019)     
Simeon Jackson*     
Jamille Matt*     
Ahkeem Rose     
Charles Vernam*     
Scott Vernon     Pay up & release now!
Mallik Wilks*

This sort of thing might as well be left until the end of the season now IMO.

Doesn't help when some of those you suggest paying off immediately might be guys we're relying on to perform and keep us up. And we also don't know how everyone will react to different coaching, managing and playing styles that the new manager might employ.

keeping to the squad idea, jolley seems to emphasise ability and pace, and will certainly require work ethic. therefore i've used the same list to give y for yes, x for no & ? for possibly. feel free to amend. ps i 've given berrett y for ability as he played 100+ games in ahigher league so has to have something about him

No point in paying up, we might as well keep them until the summer at least.  I agree they're not much cop, on this seasons showings, but if Clarke were to leave we'd be very, very low on defensive options.  Having said that, for me, what have we got to lose by putting Suliman in the team right now?  Very little, he deserves a chance to show what he's got.

Maybe Berrett would be useful in a midfield 3?  He's not completely useless, just limited.  If he's given a specific, pragmatic, task to perform (man-marking?), he could probably do it.

Hooper must have something to offer?  That penalty miss was abysmal, but is he any worse than the others?  Possibly, but he's a big lump who must have more to give.  Maybe I'm kidding myself there.....

I agree about Jake Kean though, he's surplus and showed no more than Killip, but maybe we're paying zero towards his wage?  Who knows, but I'm sure he'll leave soon.

Mallik Wilks*     
           


I would only look at keeping:

McKeown
Mills
Hall-Johnson
Maybe Clifton, i think this manager could be a big boost for him
Dembele

Loan players that looked to improve us and would be interested in:
Wilks
Vernam
Jackson maybe

Thats it, scary isnt it

This is just who we have to work with for the rest of the season. The new manager will have to try to convince them that working their asses off to keep us up is worth their time and effort. Won't be easy with most out of contract in the summer  I feel like some are already on their summer holiday.

Not sure I agree with all of these Forza.

Suliman get 2 Y’s and no one has seen him play.

Berrett gets a Y for work ethic. I have not seen as many games as others but from what I have seen no way does he put enough effort in.

Summerfield a Y for ability. He might be either the best or one of the best players this season but imho that is more due to how poor others are around him. A double Y for work ethic, but not a Y in the ability column for me.
