Question Which players would you let go at the end of this season?

[Mad Cyril]

Most of the popular choices here are going to have to get used to part time football if they want to keep playing.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Most of the squad are under contract so it’s all very hypothetical. Aka a waste of precious time

I am a massive loser with plenty of free time.

 

[dusterman]

You get the inkling this is Kev’s squad now with a few key additions in the spine, it’s what we’ll move forward with unless a few have underwhelmed him who he’ll try and engineer moves for. Could be completely wrong mind.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

As contracts run out, we need to build a team around the under 30%s in this poll.

 

[OldBlueLady]

What gets me every time is that I'd keep Jack Wood in a heartbeat, I just looked at the assists of the season voting (which I hadn't seen) and that cross in is inch perfect. We've rarely played him in his best role, and when we have (twice to my knowledge), he's shone. I'd love to know what's gone on there to make him so out of favour with the management.

Or just carry on with hopper and bonne upfront, miley bridge, coker and husin in midfield, crowther and gubbins in defence

Im sure they'll come good

You are so spot on with your comments.I to think he is worth retaining but regrettably I think he will be released.For what ever reason he isn't seen to be part of the plan for going forward.He will probably go elsewhere and shine and it will be our loss but that's how football works.Collymore and Eastwood are examples of how we have gained from this.

Who is actually out of contract at the end of season. As we talk about moving players on, not if they have contracts no finished.

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

But Cyril you’re a young man. Us oldies have to watch every second and make them last. Hours are like diamonds don’t let them waste as Mr Jagger says.

I’ve been told that Jack Bridge triggered an additional year on his deal by hitting an appearance clause this season.

 

[dusterman]

Do we have a chance of getting Golding?

He wants to come back, we want him back....that's a good part of the way to succeeding.

I don't have a problem with this. Jack is a hard worker, who has been worked out by many opposition sides. We really missed him on Saturday.

 

[TheSouthendUnitedRunner]

Do we have a chance of getting Golding?

Yes.

 

[meerkat54]

Yes.

Only seen Golding play once this season. I was fairly impressed, has all the attributes to be a top player at our level.

 

[dusterman]

One thing I don’t think we’ve taken into account when looking to offload some players. We are at a squad standard now IMO where there would be takers for players that we maybe think have run their course here given the stats above. Noor for example would be far more in demand by teams of our level than players closer to the twilight of their careers, i.e Coulson.

 

[GBJ]

We still haven’t replaced Cardwell and Kensdale.

They need to be our priority signings over the summer, alongside an attacking midfield player

Yep, in my choices I've gone for a ball playing centre half that wasn't afraid to leave his mark on a player, and must have a big gob. We also need a NL ready Timlin, and finally a forward who liked to score goals, was a selfish sod in the box, and brave enough to stick his head in where it may get hurt.

 

[SUFCGoals]

Personally would like to see let go at the end of the contract:

Danny Waldron
Jack Bridge

We should extend:
Macaulay Bonne
Jack Wood (one year deal and give him one last chance to prove his worth)

Contracted players I'd like to see moved on:

Adam Crowther
Josh Walker


Wouldn't be gutted if the following players moved on:

Noor Husin
Joe Gubbins
Cav Miley
