Who should be dropped from the 1st team squad

Post by ashfordblue » Mon Oct 28, 2024 1:01 am

My selection is Muric should never go back in goal, Harry Clarke should also be dropped he's an absolute liability and not up to the premiership standard, Johnson is not up to it, and O'Shea and Wolfie I have doubts about.
so who would you select as not good enough, and who would you bring back who is currently out on loan getting game time? Humphries is playing well at Wycombe
Overall we haven't got enough strength in defence when 2 or 3 get injured

Muric - car crash

Burgess - completely out of his depth
Johnson- has shown nothing to suggest good enough
O'Shea - Again done nothing, helped Burnley go down
Woolfenden- just a level too far for him, ok with Greaves.

Burns - Another where step up is too big
Phillips- 1 good game, 2 OK, the rest a carthorse
J. Clarke - Nothing more than an impact sub.


I find it easier looking at who has to start when fit.

Morsy
Greaves
Davis
Tuanzebe
Hutchinson
Delap
Szmodics
Cajuste

Others who have impressed - good back up

Taylor
Chaplin
Hirst
H. Clarke - (didn't deserve the bad press)

I think Walton needs to come in even though he's never overly impressed me either, Broadhead also needs to show us what he can do.

Hard to disagree with any of that. I would also like to see what Slicker can do. A young lad with a good reputation and a Man City pedigree.

When all fit this is the squad I would select, Barebones I Know But.
Slicker
Tuanzebe
Greaves
O'Shea (No other choice Available)
Davis
Morsey
Cajuste
Taylor
Phillips
J Clarke
Ogbene
Hutchinson
Chaplin
Hirst
Delap
Szmodics
Broadhead ( Needs assessing)
Walton (Backup Keeper)

Players to be moved on.
Muric
H Clarke ( He will never learn that you can't give space in the premiership) Headless chicken .
Burns
Luongo
Johnson
Burgess
Woolfenden (Proved he's not good enough)
So we need to spend or loan a few good defenders in the January window, we need to look at the European market they are out there ???

So if you were in the hot seat, Ash, you'd BIN Muric, have Walton as back up, and shove Slicker in front of the headlights? :lol:

Please try being boss @ Partick before ITFC!! I beg you! :lol:

I did Marco I oversaw the 1-0 win on Saturday Da dah

Also, Would I put Slicker or Walton in place of Muric yep all day long Slicker cut his teeth at Man City so he's had a good upbringing, put it this way Muric is absolute sh*t just like Harry Clarke a waiting time bomb of mistakes, and we can't afford to be sympathetic too players that can't cut it in the premiership something has got to change big time?

Burns for me,Omari should be on the right, also like ogbene but he likey to be out for months, maybe give Walton another go,Muric is a liability.
