Agreed regarding contracts, however I understand he has tried (and failed) to agree new deals for a few of the ‘squad’ players.
Coley had final say on YTS being offered pro deals (90% sorted now)
Nolan offered new contract that he has rejected.
Big Ben also.
Sousa staying.
Same situation as why he offered Danny Williams a new deal last season.
Happier to be squad player than play regularly lower down.
I’d offer new deals for Yosser,Seamus,Erico,Clicker,Harvey & maybe Jonny.
We will trigger Clickers 1 year extension purely so he doesn’t leave on a free.
Johnson is worth more than 300k.
Why sell in January when new pitch can’t start until end of season?

It’s not a case of who is League 1 standard or not.
It’s a case of why do people think subs = instant success/improvement.

For the subs, there is no one I would of taken off apart from the Don or Barlaser.
If we take off Don we either replace with Big Ben which is pointless, or go 3 at the back.
Like I said, GD could be crucial. 45 mins would have left us far too open against a stronger, fitter team.
If we took off Dan, we’d of left Seamus outnumbered in the middle. Bringing Nolan on wouldn’t of made much difference at half time.
I would have liked to see Sousa and Smyth brought on, but for who? And what tactics?
