Is it too early for people’s thoughts on who should go at the end of the season?
Now we have little play for I would be great to try some of the youngsters , I know people say the seniors are playing for a contract but over the season I think we have all seen enough to make our minds up.

For the following should be released regardless of contract.
Amos
Orsi
Taylor
Holohan
Morris( sometimes looks good but not consistent)
Shaun
Scannel
Cropper
Waterfall ( really humming and arring about this one, can he do another season?)
Out of the loaners really only smith and macatee would be worth signing but very unlikely.

Agree with all barring Waterfall. Showed on Saturday we missed someone who dominated the aerial presence asks him to head and kick it and he is fine.

Danny Amos - Big heart nice lad but not league two quality absolute abhorrent mistakes at Swindon and most latterly Hartlepool he doesn’t have the quality and belongs in non league

Orsi - Another nice lad who scored a couple of decent FA cup decent goals but not the quality to be a L2 player.

Cropper - Think his race is run. Hurst will keep Efete and bring in another right back next year

Scannell - Never been the same since injury

Morris - probably looked the best player on the pitch his past 2 games but often a passenger in matches.. I think it will be between him and Holohan who gets a new deal

Holohan - FA Cup hero and a good signing in non-league just doesn’t look like he has the legs or the quality to be up to L2 standard, think he will be released and Morris will be the one that ends up with a new deal.

Pearson - Gearing him up for a coaching role, fantastic role model and brilliant person to have around. Never a bad word to say about Shaun.

Orsi ,Waterfall and Holahan are all under contract so would either need to get a transfer or paid off .
Waterfall has been very good so cant see him going
Holahan I think will stay
Orsi might be loaned out depending how many we sign.
Remember if he goes we literally have no other forwards under contract so would need 4 or 5 in  .

I just hope we dont try this loaning players from higher up who are lightweight and never played mens football , not one has impressed this season so the failure rate is quite high maybe 7 or 8 and you have only ever seen them once or twice ; i mean the lad from Norwich scored ,and then we hardly saw him again ,is he even still here ?

Personally yes! Must always be a motivator to a player when with 7 games to go there being recommended for release - assuming they read this forum which I hope they don't!

I think it’s unfair and a bit disrespectful to do this now. Just my opinion.

I don't see why not. If Hurst &Co aren't looking at who should stay or go then they shouldn't be running the team. If they are then it's perfectly reasonable for posters on a message board to discuss who they would retain after the end of the season.

I still have hopes for Amos, but Glennon is first choice.

I just don’t get Holohan. He’ll always be a legend because of Southampton, but I just don’t think he’s good enough.

Waterfall deserves another season. I don’t think he’s done much wrong.

Clearly Pearson is a gonner, as he never makes the 18. Shame, because he is also a legend.

I don’t think it’s wrong to think about this, clearly the players heads are elsewhere on the basis of Friday.

The list works for me as well but I’d add Max to that, we won’t be signing McAtee for sure but if we can sign a decent hold up man I’d look at Lloyd but only to play a different role than he’s done most of the time.

I have come around to the same thinking on Max , I actually think he's a good keeper for this level but he has become a bit of a liability , almost looks mentally shot and just dont have as much confidence in him as a few months ago when he was solid and very good -.
The thing is hes a decent stopper but not a spectacular one
Kicking has been very poor lately
And he has been pretty indecisive .
Thats fair enough if you are earning points by pulling off lots of saves but he hasnt been ,instead has been making errors and become un -solid , which if you are not a keep that excels at anything you are going to look poor when your game goes off .

I think Max is fine for a mid table league 2 side but if we want to be top end i would almost say an outstanding keeper is as high a priority as decent ones up top .

Because brilliant,flawless,top keepers sign for  L2 clubs don’t they. Some people need a big dose of realism.
