Pre-season starts now
« on: April 09, 2012, 05:22:18 PM »

It's official, we have nothing left to play for this season. Therefore, planning for next season should begin immediately (if it hasn't already).

LS hopefully has an idea which players are likely to be here next season and which ones are not. Priority should now be given (where possible) to the players who have a future here. Whether you like Twiss or not (by all accounts he's been doing ok) I'd say it's unlikely he'll be kept on next season. Therefore, what is the point in him starting any more games for us? We've effectively got an extended pre-season, so let's at least use it to our advantage.

Or let's give Lee Sinnott a full pre-season which is more than he got last time.

I hope that Lee's holiday arrangements this year don't upset the forum pre-season police.

But chances are, our strike force will contain no reeves or twiss - therefore do suggest dropping them both?

The chances are he will still be in Lee Sinnott's plans though, which means he warrants a place in the team. And you know that's what I meant anyway, you're just being pedantic as usual.

Plans should be realistic - and therefore Lee/the board will have a good idea if the lad is staying or not, if he isnt, then under your theory he shouldnt play as we should try and build up partnerships

I agree we should be looking a building partnerships - such as densmore/phelan or lynch/phelan as a midfield duo as a bit of consitaency would do the side a world of good, especially in the core of the side (CB/CM/ST)

Im not sayign "drop damien because he might not be here" but its a little narrow minded to say "dont play twiss, because hes not here, but its ok to play nicky/damien ect. even though they could potentially move on"

WE should realistically have all of this squad (who lee wants) signed up now if possible,  then he has 3 months (may,april,june) to find replacements, trial and sign them

what is the difference between finishing 8th and 12th?

get the kids on, give Duncan Watmore the armband, and give the fans something to get behind.

Agree with blooding some of the younger lads, but we have a duty also both to ourselves to finish as high as possible and also to the teams around us and those affected by our fixtures.

We are 10 points off the play offs and 12 points off relegation.

The season is effectively over, everyone should be made aware that they are playing for new contracts, and if players show now pride or effort in these last 3 games then they should be shown the door.

Absolutely right. My solution is to select the starting XIs from senior players but fill the bench with youngsters and give them as much game time as practical.

Coburn
Densmore
Phelan
Lawrie
Clee
Reeves
McGivern

Are the only senior players that should be offered terms, and try and sign Greg young on a season long loan from alfreton, hes realiable and they will be keen to get him off the wage bill.give the players a couple of weeks to make their decisions and if not move on.With all the hanging around last summer, be it waiting for ken to make his decision or waiting for a new manager to be appoint, most clubs had done their business before we'd appointed lee

I'd obviously keep some of the kids Watmore etc also
