We'll be able to ship out quite a few at the end of the season with a lot of contracts ending but it will be hard to get rid of too many in this window because no one will want them.
Pay them up or if they won't accept that separate them from the squad then.
We need a core group that have the necessary attributes for the management team to focus on. What I wouldn't want is for any incoming players to be dragged down to the existing level of effort being shown by some of our current players.
Hewitt will always be included in the squad because he's so versatile. Hendrie has been pretty solid all season, although today he was piisss poor Rose looked an awful lot more effective today partnering matete. Hurst likes experienced players so i suspect he'll be told that a lot more is expected of him but he will be an almost automatic pick. Think Clifton is destined to be a squad player I'd say McKeown & Green are the ones under real threat - they are consistently underperforming

It's easy to say pay them up but have we got cash to chuck around doing that?

Not a cheap option.
Neither is going non league. Pay some off, free up room and salary cap allowances. Then invest in bringing in some who are capable of getting us out of this.
It won’t break us as we are so fantastically ‘well run’ 🧐
Isn't it sad that there isn't a single player I'd be sorry to see leave? Maybe Pollock at a push and Wright and Clifton at least always try but I don't think I've ever felt such nothingness towards a squad.
There’s a lengthy bloat of players that should never have been here in the first place but the list is longer when you think of who to ship out.
Clifton wouldn’t get a game and would get dogs abuse if he wasn’t local. An example of what we had last time we went down, someone that runs around but in truth brings little to the table.
Perhaps Wright and Pollocks have plateaued due to the loss poor coaching that was happening and the chaotic and clueless leadership from the farmer.
It’s hilarious seeing the few that claimed to never want Hurst suddenly appear after a few games and say he’s as bad.
Hurst watched us but in reality, watching highlights some things but seeing them at training he must’ve have seen just how bad they are.
We really are terrible. If we got rid of all of them nobody would care. Covid aside, I’ve never felt less connected to a team than this bunch...
'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza
