Probably about right, though Temelici has done enough for me.

Temelici looks a good prospect. Devine & Olutade have been loaned to lower league teams out so hard to make a decision but I guess not good enough. Embery hasn't really had an opportunity although it's hard to see how he can fit into the current playing style. No mention of Edwards but he would be in the "goodbye" section.

I agree with you apart from Temelci whom I have yet to see so cannot comment and Embrey who hasn't had a chance since injury . Embrey is young and could be a great player if given the chance but at the moment I dont see where he would slot into the team. Amaluzor is an enigma and boy have we had a few of them over the past few seasons, he looks the part but either doesnt learn his lines or forgets them during the game. Olutade should be given another chance now he is fit and in form. I ama little worried that Cole may want to move on now he is out of favour and that would leave us light in that department. I think our defence is just about ok and our forward line looks good enough but we have to strengthen the midfield as it is just not strong enough.

Overall I’m happy with the squad for now but Knight, Pennel, Kamdjo, Divine, Edwards id clear tomorrow. Iffy Allen I’m yet to be bowled over but he’s had a bit more game time recently so I’ll reassess him in a few weeks but my feeling is he fades in and out of games without really stamping much authority down.
Harsh on divine but the fact he’s not been recalled when we had Johnson out as cover and Pennels horror shows is telling.
Ibby, Hoyte, Johnson, Elokobi, Wishart, Khan and Chesmain are my standout performers. Still yet to make my mind up on Corne but hoping he comes back strong. I think loaning Embrey out is the best course of action as he needs to play every week to learn at the age he’s at. I’d be happy for Olutade to take the bench option

I do hope that if we can afford to delve into the transfer market we concentrate on solid midfielders, maybe slightly older seasoned players rather than young with iffy potential abilities. I still think the squad we have at this moment in time is easily good enough for the playoffs but if you want to win them,and I am not worried either way, then maybe 3 new names are needed.

Maybe just 1 quality midfielder but Khan is pure class and Corne until his injury was showing good consistent form. Tbf Temelci (not Temilici) was on my 'something to prove list' because he has only played 4 matches. But agree he does look very decent and worth a contract to the end of the season. Still not convinced about Marshall, who started so well, just looks a bit ponderous but still time to impress.

Probably about right, though Temelici has done enough for me. It's Temelci He looks a very good player to me, shies away from headers which is his achilles heel as a midfielder but his vision and passing ability makes him a real asset in my view.

Something that has gone under the radar. The League transfer window opens again tomorrow. Who we going to lose ? At least one of our star acts could be on the move. John Still made it very clear when he was appointed that part of his brief was to sign up and contract players with potential, develop and then sell them on at a profit to the club. The next few days could be quite interesting.

The next few days could be quite interesting. I'm not just saying this because I don't want us to lose them but I genuinely believe the likes of Akanbi, Kahn and others who have already moved up from a lower level to play for us would be better off continuing there development with us for at least another half season or longer where they're getting regular 1st team games. Maybe if we can extend the contracts of such players once they've got more games under there belt we would be in a position to demand a decent transfer fee, not wanting to hold players back from their potential.

Fair enough but that's not how it works. Money talks and you grab opportunities when they occur, cause there's no guarantees down the road sometime. Hopefully any moves tomorrow will mean a win/win for all parties.
