How would this team fare

Mon May 05, 2025 7:04 pm

In League one?

I’ve left out players that I expect will be on their way.

Alnwick

Kpakio Fish Lawler Bagan

King Turnbull

Ashford J.Colwill ODowda

Simic


Of course there will be incomings and we may keep hold of some players I haven’t put into the side here.

I’ve heard Turnbulls agent is already pimping him out so expect him to go.

That’s a weak team and would struggle to stay up in my opinion

I am expecting Division 1 to be a very physical division. The sort of division where you need someone like Joe Dwyer in defence

Tippy Tappy fancy football is not going to win many matches.

Good job we haven’t played that in years if ever.

Weak team.

We'd certainly need a better striker than Simic.

Some on Twitter/X have been calling for him to get minutes for a while. But I watched him in some of the U21 games and despite him scoring a few, he did nothing else well.

Looks far too lightweight for the EFL. League One defenders would rough him up and that would be him done.

Well, if that line up took to the pitch next season then we would be in another relegation battle.

Op should said how many of these players will be in 1st team next season? Answer a couple simply because another 8 players may come in plus couple of our youngsters added to list...be lucky to get a point all season with these players.

With respect, I did put in my original post that players would be coming in

This obviously isn’t the team that would be our starting 11 come the start of the season.

But it does highlight how poor our squad actually is.

Yes agree that's why said Lucky to get point but does highlight when take away certain players it's very poor

Our squad is not poor. The management is . You haven't included the following who are still under contract
Robertson
Robinson
Salech
Ng
Willock
Chambers
Colwill
Tanner

Add in Ramsey and Ralls who if offered a new contract will probably stay and that's the basis of a very good side by League One standards. Obviously they wont all stay and we cant afford or want to keep all but if we can rid of a few of the above and freshen up with a few new faces that's the basis of a very good side by League One standards. We need a decent manager.

I personally think our squad is poor.

Yes management is an issue and has been for years, but we finished bottom because of the management AND the players. Not just management

I didn’t include those players because I don’t think the majority will be here:

Robertson - will most likely move to a championship side. Young and one of our better players.

Robinson - Won’t be hanging out in L1 - already talks of a move away.

Salech - far too good for L1 and will have clubs eyeing him up. Ramsey mentioned the club are aware that offers will come, and the club have already said about cost saving in L1

Ng - player of the season for us twice in the championship in the last 3 years, will most likely be leaving for championship club.

Willock - Will possibly stay but wouldn’t bother me if he doesn’t

Chambers - won’t want to play L1 and is expensive. Cost cutting again comes into play

Colwill - it isn’t really working out for him here. Might end up gone or on loan.

Tanner - most likely stay but wouldn’t put him in front of Ashford.
