Squad for next season, as it stands (1 Viewer)

Keepers

Murphy
Dunn
Ireland
Burge
Comments: if someone comes in with an offer of £150k for Murph, I would snap their hand off. Not counting on it though. Dunn must be wondering why he joined us last year, especially given Joe's reluctance to actually catch the ball!


Defence

Herman
Wood
McPake
Cameron
Clarke
Hussey
Christie
Willis
Henderson
Comments: I am guessing here that Cranie and Keogh will move on. If both leave, we will need another centre back, but if only one goes than we should be OK.


Midfield

McSheffrey
Deegan
Baker
Bell
Bigi
Thomas
Comments: presuming that Clingan goes and we don't re-sign Norwood, we'll need a couple of extra bodies here - probably a solid central player as well as a nippy wide player, although ROD can fill in on the flanks


Attack:
McDonald
Platt
Jeffers
ROD
Comments: it's clear that Cody will be the main man, we need to resist any offers for him. Expect Jeffers and Platt to alternate as his main strike partner, with ROD coming off the bench and filling in due to injuries. We really need another striker though.


All this may be academic given the embargo, but with McPake and ROD returning, and fitness of others permitting, we have a reasonable side and should be OK for next season. Don't expect a promotion party though!

These are my thoughts

Keepers

Murphy
Dunn
Ireland - out of contract at the end of the season, and has been injured for pretty much 3 years. Needs to go.
Burge

Need to keep murphy as you need an experienced keeper in this league .


Defence

Herman - out of contract at the end of the season. We shouldn't renew he will be 39 a far too old.
Wood - plagued by injuries, only been fit enough to play 50% of league matches in 2 1/2 years, high earner - should be offloaded, we've got too many injury prone players.
McPake - wants to go back to Scotland and I think will leave at the end of the season.
Cameron - another who has suffered with injuries this season
Clarke
Hussey
Christie
Willis
Henderson

We should try and keep Keogh but he will probably go as will wood, McPake and Herman. I think we will need two big strong centre backs and a back up left back


Midfield

McSheffrey
Deegan - injury prone, has only been for enough to play about 30%of the league games since signing. Need to off load
Baker
Bell - injury prone, like wood has only played 50% of league game in 2 1/2 years. I would off load
Bigi
Thomas

We need 2 strong physical CMs and 2 strong but pacy wide men. A midfield containing both Sheff and baker will be completely bullied.


Attack:
McDonald
Platt - I wouldn't renew, he doesn't score enough or look like he might score to be an effective super sub.
Jeffers - He's 20 now, so should either be good enough to be pushing for a more prominent role, or should be offloaded
Wilson - see Jeffers
ROD - will be in the last year of his contract, should be off loaded

3 strikers are required, power, pace and goals are needed

all in all.

1 LB
2 CB
2 CM
2wide men
3 strikers

10 players needed minimum.

If you look at Charlton, and the two Sheffield clubs they have actually signed 20+ players each this season both permanent and loan signings.

Perhaps a tad harsh on Wilson. He was sent to Tamworth to gain experience and has been injured all season. We have no idea what he can do or how good he is.
