But as I say, I don’t think we can other than the two defenders say any of the others were a waste. You can argue maybe more needed spending or in different areas, I can get on board with that but only 2 players haven’t worked imo.
Joint third bottom after 28 games suggests it's a lot more than 2 signings that haven't worked. This week is huge, and I just pray that we sign some quality. |

That isn’t totally invalid, however I think it looks at things in the round instead of drilling down into specifics. Is the team good enough as a whole, no. Are the players we brought in, in the forward areas and midfield (just Conteh) good enough - looks like it. Conteh already made us money, so not a waste. Rose has been fantastic, not a waste. Others have also been decent enough or like Vernam unlucky with an injury but has looked good when he’s back. Our issue is fundamentally with the defence and ability in the centre now Contehs gone. The players further forward where we spent most of the money, are fine. Players that have been brought in in defence or were here last year is the issue in my opinion so I can’t get on board with the wasting money argument. |

I think we will just starve off relegation this season, as I think there will be two worse teams (We HAVE to beat Donny, Forest Green and Sutton).
But looking at the list of players, its absoultely frightenning the amount of players I would let go, or look to offload at the end of the season.
I think thats a big task for any manager and I think the owners need to get in their minds now, that the close season may cost them more money than they envisaged!
Is this the worst squad we've seen from Town in the last ten years? - Potentially is.
Goalkeepers
Harvey Cartwright - Think gets unfair critistim. Kept us in games and most goals havent been his fault. Would sign as backup.
Jake Eastwood - Not good enough. Offload.
Defenders
Danny Amos - Not good enough. Offload.
Michee Efete - Not good enough. Offload.
Anthony Glennon - Defensively very poor and a massive portion of goals conceeded have come down his side. Offload.
Niall Maher - Should only be kept as backup.
Toby Mullarkey - Defensively very poor and a massive portion of goals conceeded have come down his side. Offload.
Harvey Rodgers - One of the worst defenders I've seen.
Doug Tharme - Too early to judge.
Midfielders
Callum Ainley - No comment except get well soon.
Jamie Andrews - Goes absent in games too many times. Don't attempt to sign.
Aaron Braithwaite - No comment
Jamie Bramwell - No comment
Harry Clifton - Not the same player as last couple of seasons. Unfortunatley it was maybe time for him to move on last summer when we had 'rumoured' interest.
Kieran Green - Not good enough. Offload.
Gavan Holohan - Unfortunatley offload at the end of the season. Been a good player but now becoming to inconsistant.
Alex Hunt - Not good enough. Offload.
Otis Khan - Not good enough. Let contract run out.
Evan Khouri - Needs a 6 month loan to see how he gets on.
Charles Vernam - He needs to prove what he can offer towards end of the season.
Harry Wood - To early to assess, but IF it was just based on yesterday, i would'nt attempt to sign.
Arthur Gnahoua - Not good enough. Offload.
Forwards
Abo Eisa - Offer a new 1 year contact, but needs to be more consistant.
Edwin Essel - No comment, but assume he will be released.
Cameron Gardner - No comment, but I dont see him breaking into the team this season.
Justin Obikwu - Too early to judge.
Rekeil Pyke - Hardly available. Offload.
Danny Rose - Keep. The only shining light of a poor season.
Harvey Tomlinson - No comment, but assume he will be released.
Donovan Wilson - Hardly available. Offload.
So, in other words, PH put a crap squad together last summer, less a couple of individuals. He proceeded to get us into the lower third of the league, paid the price in getting sacked and we now expect DA , with a limited transfer window, to turn things around and " make a silk purse out of a sows ear". |

What's the chances we'll keep Rose at the end of the season?

Bet he has a release contract if we are relegated He has been tremendous and if he goes we are doomed. |

To say DA is a defender he doesn’t know how to set up a defence to me he doesn’t look interested and just going through the motions until he’s sacked.
It was a massive mistake not letting him bring a number 2 with him.

That was his big mistake. He needs 2 or 3 people at the club he can trust |

I'm wondering if it was actually his choice, or he was told that was the terms of the deal. If it's the latter, that ain't really helping us dig our way out of this excrement. |

Jason Stockwood confirmed that Pearson and Davies staying on was a non negotiable term of any contract, a move which at the time was universally met with approval |
