I know some are under contract but who out the current squad would you actually want to play for us in NL?

For me:

MJ Williams
Rose
McCann

Probably the one 3 I would want to keep.

I’d add Whitfield to that list and Barratt or Winterbottom. Also think Jackson for all the stick he gets isn’t a bad fullback on his day and has a decent delivery, I’d keep him as Shipley and Anderson are crap and should both be gone.
Harper and Barkhuizen may flourish at a lower level too both have ability but havent shown it enough. Isaac Fletcher has shown glimpses but clearly isn’t fit.
Scott Smith had been a disappointment for a lot of the season but he’s combative and again might get going in the national league.

The rest can go for me. A mix of lower league and non league players needed. Wild was able to get the likes of Spence from non league and that’s the type of player we need to be looking at, securing them and then making a profit when they do move on.

MJ
Whits
Newby
The new keeper as back-up.

Jackson is the worst, most overrated defender I can remember us having. If he could stop over hitting every cross then he would at least have one redeeming factor. But he's shit.

Fletcher, McCann, Rose, Whitfield

I really don’t get this infatuation with Whitfield. Along with many others he has been dreadful. We had him at his best when Wild signed him but once he left the first time he never recaptured that form at Burton or with us.
The first poster had it right for me.
MJ Williams
McCann ( best player on the park first half yesterday showed what he is capable off played further forward)
Danny Rose

The rest I would be happy if they all moved on

Either of the 3 keepers
MJ
mcan
Rose
Gordon if on a free
Newby.
The rest to go, contracted players offer them to leave or send out to Northwest Counties teams

Agree with that, get rid of the lot apart from those 3. watching Borham wood, Abdul Abdulmalik he’s fast and can beat a man, night and day from any player we currently have. We need someone similar next season for starters.

If nobody wants them no one will be leaving, this isn't getting through to people, players won't be ripping up contracts.

Fletcher
McCann
Rose
Whitfield
MJ

I'd throw Raglan into the mix too. Wouldn't keep Stanway but not see enough of the other keepers to make a decision. I quite like Scott Smith and would have Gordon back if he's available

That's why we send them out to lower league clubs one by one.
Frustrate them we have seen how spineless they are they won't want a CV with low league football on it .
We need to repay these reprobates for what they gave done to this club.
I think it was player power that got rid of Deano and we have seen how that's ended
He probably was a bit abrupt and it was rumoured he went to far.
Nothing as far as some of the Managers we hired one in particular the moral police were missing when he was appointed.

Barrett
Stanway
MacDonald
Raglan
Jackson
Smith
Kayote
Earing
Fletcher
McCann
Williams
Whitfield
Rose
Will all probably be with us next season and maybe a couple more.

That’s similar to the list I have. Should all be decent at National League level.

Plus Barrett, Newby and Smith as squad players.

Non of them, they can all go for me and yes im not naive to think that we can just get rid before anyone says

I cant believe and i know its other peoples opinions but keeping Newby, jesus, hes [SwearFilter] awful. Absolutely no heart, not what we need

I have to agree, he managed to bottle three challenges in his brief cameo yesterday. Probably a squad player in the national league which is all he ever should’ve been here. Zero end product either but people will point to a couple of crosses against Oldham.
