I pretty much agree with the OP. For much discussed reasons, we ended up with a squad that had too many National League standard players and we need to address it.

I never started the thread to disrespect any of the players but to say based over the season it’s clear where we need to improve.
Some of the players just don’t cut it so my opinion is they are best let go so we can get better in.
It’s clear we do need better in and the last 7 games doesn’t make a jot bit of difference to me. They could suddenly put on star turns playing for a new contract but the thing we need is consistency.
Holohan for instance looks brilliant some days but most of the time can pass as good as akpa Alkpro could shoot. Barn door and all that.

We can’t have sentimentality towards players, it’s a team and it’s a business and if your not good enough it’s time to get better.

Of the players mentioned in the opening post  I  liked the look of Holahan when I saw him and also Waterfall. I would be disappointed if either leave.

Feel for those that will get released but that's the ruthleness of lower league football.

I think Holohan was great last year, terrific energy but he lacks quality at League level. We need better.

So it’s okay to sack off the players who some think aren’t good enough, but not the manager that signed them all, very odd.  So what is there to suggest that PH will make better choices this time round?

If there were no contracts to consider there is only one player I would definitely want to keep . Obviously that’s Clifton . Suspect he won’t be here next year.

Hold on a minute, he might be an advocate of getting a B Corp, that’s FAR more important than recruiting, managing and coaching players to success.

We just need 4 or 5 better players than we have.

I would rather have that than 10 of the same standard.

We can make the rest of the squad up with Loanees. As long as they are not teenagers we need men.

We should be giving our teenagers a leg up instead of others clubs youngsters .

Where are you getting ‘men’ loanees from? We’ve failed miserably on loan recruitment this year.
