If we keep those 15, the outcome will be the same or worse than this season. It will take more than 5 to turn things round. 7 of the above are not league standard.

Agent Cod is in the right place now!

It was good to see the effort the team put in today and they did try to pass the ball a lot more. But I agree with CBRP about the forwards being too deep.
Most goals are scored in the box, but Kev, McAtee and Beestin hardly got in there. Just don’t understand why Van Veen is taking free kicks from 50 yards out just inside their half, especially when Mason is perfectly capable.

“Loft has glaring holes in his game so he needs support and a bit of help.
Why can’t Cox see this ?”
If he can’t see it he must be blind. Loft is 23, had 3 years at Spurs and 2 years at Leicester, but he can’t control or pass the ball. If Loft isn’t 3rd or 4th choice striker next year I can’t see how we can improve.
Cox needs to play 2 up front. I would prefer to see Olomola and McAtee in the next match. Something has to change.
The other problem with playing Loft is that the defenders take the easy way our and keep aimlessly hoofing it up in the air. Not Loft’s fault and I do agree that he plays better when the ball is played to his feet.

Van Veen’s best ever season is 10 goals. That would put him 17th in the current list. He would drop even lower than that as the players above have many more matches to play in the current season.
If we start next season with the same strikers we will finish bottom half again.
Mullin at Cambridge has 27.

I think the agents are a lot brighter than you think Alcy. Anybody who earns a living convincing clubs like ours to sign some of the players we have is a a lot sharper than the ones dishing out the contracts!!

“What he has had to deal with is like no other manager in SUFC history”.
Sounds like you missed the years when pretty much the same 11 with 1 sub played every match with 4-5 backup players and apprentices.
We now have up to 30 to choose from. The problem is that so many of that number, including some in the current first team squad (Loft, Green, Hippo), are not good enough, would never be good enough and should never have been signed.
For next season, they need to cut the squad size, and only sign players who can play for the first team. It can be done, but get the likes of Karacan, Howard, Taft, before the season starts, not after.

Sensible? Your post is not worthy of a sensible response.
Footballers move to clubs in a higher division and for higher wages. Happens to all clubs at all levels. Get over it!!

“COX—6—Did ok, but still a defensive system, but is limited with the players we havw available”.
It was based on defence, but for the first time in weeks there did seem to be a plan. Instead of the brainless hoof ball they did pass the ball and counter attack. Enjoyed the game for a change. Loft would have been a 3 from me, but he did win one header and Green scored.
