Current Squad.

7. Just. 5 definites and two scrape in. And that’s in terms of squad, not starting 11. And it includes two goalkeepers.

Can’t include Brown or Olesunde yet and not included kids as they haven’t had a chance yet.

we are so far off it is frightening.

You would have to assume that it’s a ‘Kings clothes’ type scenario were the train set owner and his fat controller surround themselves with people who tell them what they want to hear.

Nice analogy, the unfortunate thing is that it’s a depressing time to be a North End supporter, we are going in a downward direction only.
 
Daniel Johnson and barky the only two quality players in the squad I think are top quality, I'd extend storey due to him having value (age and experience) and riis I think theres a player in there if pne took being a professional football club serious (and coached them), I'm fucking surprised that there's so many surprised. Think there's only been a handful pointing it out on here, a nod to @sf
 
And you know what, by far a bigger factor than whether theres an individual you'd like to see remaining at pne or you personally rate, is the fact it's so fucking drearily boring watching them. Bored to tears watching them. They're all boring bastards, maybe ledson has a bit about him but otherwise they get me about as excited as a Monday morning.

Rudd, GC, Olusunde (on the basis of he could be good/we haven't seen him), Leigh, DJ, Browne, Whiteman, Barky, Evans

9.

I've seen nothing yet that tells me GC is anywhere near the player we had and on 'games I've attended' I have been very disappointed with Evans ability..... Leigh is too young to count....

I would add Hughes, DJ would depends where his head & heart are and Barky if he finds his shooting boots again...Bauer if he is fit.

So i'd probably say 6 of the over 21's who belong to us and not on loan....

I was wanting to go home on Saturday after about an hour. And so I was on about the previous 5 times I've been on. It's absolutely dire and no entertainment value whatsoever.

Let's get the DJ narrative right and I've read this a lot like he is the problem and needs to sort his form out or he's the major issue; when was Daniel Johnson any good when the balls coming down with snow on it, all the time...?

When you have players with qualities you play to them, Frankie knows it, that's why he plays a complex back 7.

It's bang average and highly unlikely to challenge for anything other than relegation... I hate saying that but I can see that tunnel coming. We'll be able to tell because Trev will open his moth eaten wallet. 🙂

I’m not so sure he will, ever if relegation threatened and even if he did it could well be too little too late.
 
3 of them are good enough for a top half team.

A further 3 could be squad players in that team.

Some of the youth are exciting though...

Absolutely right, apart from renewing the match day experience following the impact of the pandemic, what is the expectation for North End fans for each game and what subsequent impact do North End performances have on fans for the rest of the weekend?
 
It doesn’t really concern me what the fans think about the squad, but I’m very concerned that we have at least 8 players that the Manager doesn’t want to play, and a bigger concern than no one is likely to take them off our hands.

You're not wrong! Ha. You just know we'll get more defensive injuries soon too. I think our whole wingback philosophy crumbles as soon as Cunningham gets injured.

I know Earl showed glimmers in pre-season but in past seasons he got targeted by the opposition and just was nowhere near championship ability. I just don't see him stepping up.
