No he wouldn't. He's been here for five years of failure and at best has been average. Get rid.

Look, I'm being nice again, I've called him average...at best 😉

"Dozzell: I’d actually like to keep him"

CORRECT - and the first poster to recognise the best midfielder at the club in a team playing possession football. If Uncle Tony is our manager next season and he gets permission to sign Dozzell then he will be in the running for our player of the season

Release everyone out of contract, then -

GK:
New 1st choice good with the ball at feet
New back up good with the ball at feet
Mayo Loan out

RB
Laird Keep
Drameh Try to keep, if not replace
Willaims No idea
Oakley No idea

CB
Sanderson Keep
Bielik Keep
New CB Experienced player, good on ball
New CB Development player, good on ball

LB
Buchanan
Longelo Release and replace, if coaches don't rate him

MID
Bacuna
James Sell if the price is right, and replace
Paik Sell if the price is right, and replace
Dozzell
Chang Loan out


Attack Mid
Hall
Miyoshi Sell if the price is right, and replace
Pritchard
Dembele
Donovan Loan out if ready
Tyler Roberts
New AM if we intend to play with one up front then potentially someone who can play as a striker as the Stansfield replacement

STR:
New Striker
New Striker
Stansfield Keep if possible but have little chance, so replace
Dixon Loan out

This does assume we will probably be playing 4 2 3 1 again next season

If TM comes back, you'd like to think Pritchard would be useful. Right now though he looks like a bust.

+1 for firing Burke into the sun.

I will admit I’m personally biased when it comes to Pritchard.

He’s barely played. Bit early to call him a bust. That mistake against Middlesbrough seems to have made people’s minds up about him.

To be honest, he looked awful for several games on the trot.
