I think JDH and, sadly, Obika should probably go. Big Jon has been entertaining but we need a better quality of striker for next season. Yes but I don't think thats Brophy unfortunately.

oaksoft Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 The big 3 for me are Durmus, JDH and Fraser. We can afford to replace the others but if we lose any of those 3 that will be a very serious blow. I'm hopeful we can hold onto at least Fraser but IMO we're losing Durmus and JDH.

Ethan Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Durmus is one to keep if we can. JDH is not interested so should move on. I still think there will be better players available so not fussed if a few move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scam75 Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 FWIW I think we will retain Fraser and Durmus and JDH will be off. Fraser was in the press saying talks are progressing. JDH and Ilkay have been conspicuously silent and we know for sure JDH has had a decent offer, in our terms, on the table for months. I'd be shocked if he signs now. With Ilkay I have no idea other than a gut feeling. Both will be a loss but not irreplaceable imo. Nobody on our payroll is that good. Sign or move on lads.

The boy McKay ran him ragged. Although that could be said about our midfield too when ICT ventured forward. However, he was much better in the second half, most likely because we had by then reverted to a more stable flat back four. Thought our defending of high balls was uncharacteristically very poor and a lot of our defensive problems stemmed from losing out to their attackers in the air. Both our CH's had an "off" night. Alnwick, once again, was superb. POTY by an absolute mile. Not one of our outfield players has performed so consistently throughout the entire season so far. He's made a huge number of outstanding match winning saves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why we should be held to ransom by ANY player. And I wasn't suggesting we kick them out the door while they were still under contract.

Are we. We offer new contracts, if they don't except, they leave. As will the case with a few others no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
