It’s been tough for the youngsters coming into a difficult situation and a very poor side.
Moore-Billam, Gallimore, Lewis and Cribb have have shown enough that they can make it in professional football so we should keep them. Shrimpton, Wilson, Young and Collins have not yet had the opportunity to show that they are good enough but wouldn’t write them off.
Jessop has had a few opportunities but never looked like taking them. Poulter scores goals at youth level but neither Cox or Hill seem to think that’s important so not had a first team chance.
I would keep Rowe and O’Malley who are still youngsters but in this squad are relatively experienced.
Leaves us the “experienced” players.
Watson and the club need one of these new no blame divorces. It just hasn’t worked for either. Millen had had a difficult time with injuries but not good enough to keep. Taft thanks but no thanks. Grant – good player but the legs may have gone. Feeney I would probably keep. Always been a good footballer and will do things in a decent team. Beestin again would probably keep. Was one of our better players last season and long Covid has obviously held him back this year
Nuttall has had his chances and not taken them. If your manager picks Pyke ahead of you then you are probably not good enough.
Bunn, Jarvis, Hallam and KDT have not managed to convince Hill or Cox so off you trot.
In summary then we are a dozen decent players short of achieving a National League mid table finish.
Good thing our new head honcho made his reputation finding good footballers on the cheap.
