Maybe the club will try and nick another year in this league until players contracts drop away in 2027?
That might work and if it looks like we were in trouble, they might do more winter window loans to try and keep us up.
We will not see a massive clearout in this window because the club cannot fund it.4 -
Does that mean we will not be putting in a cheeky bid for Doku as back up for TC then?BigDiddy said:Maybe the club will try and nick another year in this league until players contracts drop away in 2027?

That’s what I’m thinking. We’ve got decent Championship defenders and goalkeepers. Not sure about strikers, but I do think they’d score more if they had better service. My thought is they’ll focus on improving midfield and wingbacks and look to survive again, ready for the 2027 clear out.BigDiddy said:Maybe the club will try and nick another year in this league until players contracts drop away in 2027?

We will not see a massive clearout in this window because the club cannot fund it.That’s not to say they won’t try to improve the other areas if there’s an opportunity, but I think it will be hard to move some of these players. I doubt they’d be fees involved for some of them, we’d be happy if we could just move their salaries.4 -
I don't think we'll see a massive load of business this year. Essential purchases only I think. Next year is going to be a slight improvement, but enough that we should find ourselves out of the bottom third I reckon. Year after is when we can finally shed some dead wood.0

Posters always say what a great job NJ did in keeping us up, but ignore the fact that he has handicapped us, possibly even endangered us, for the coming season, with all the overpriced or overpaid crap he has signed which will limit our ability to strengthen the team.8
-
Docherty was man of the match in several games towards the end of last season,I think that without the effort he put in we would have gone down.He is a ball winner and workhorse,his job is to break up play and give the ball to the ball players who should then instigate the attacks.Sadly ,we didnt have any ball players who could do this,we should keep Doc for this role and find a ball player who could compliment him.

no guarantee if another manager came in and spent that 11-12M (8.6M paid this season) that they would have kept us up. Yes Knibbs Tanto Apter have been a complete waste so far but not every signing is going to work out, there definitely wasn’t many of us screaming for the likes of Carey Bell Coady this seasonwolfgang said:Posters always say what a great job NJ did in keeping us up, but ignore the fact that he has handicapped us, possibly even endangered us, for the coming season, with all the overpriced or overpaid crap he has signed which will limit our ability to strengthen the team.3 -
There is quite a bit of work needed to thin that squad. There are not many we could sell, so lots of loan deals seem likely.0

Other than that you can’t really say the recruitment hasn’t been excellent as we’ve managed to move from just above the league 1 relegation zone to survival in the championship. If most of our signings were crap we’d still be midtable in league 1 so that can’t be the case.Yes there are plenty of players on contracts that we might prefer we could release easily, but these players have all played a role in us getting promoted and staying up so were mostly very good signings
Those 3 deals were obviously shockers but you are never going to not make bad signings, every team makes bad signings. Our hit rate over the last few years has been better than most clubs which is why we’ve been able to progress so much9 -
The season has barely ended and the bedwetting has already started. Why is everyone so miserable? I for one am hyped for the new season to start and seeing who we are going to buy.Club is going to spend more money this year to consolidate our position in the champ. If this wasn’t the case then Jones would have left long time ago. In Jones we trust.12

Can you please name the "many games" he cost us points because I can't think of any at the moment. 🤔panther10 said:

In fairness Nathan said he had full control on transfers. One esteemed poster on here confirmed he even pushed the boat out to get Ahadme through the door! I actually thought Apter and Tanto looked decent in spells, but fell out with the manager by all accounts. Jury out on Knibbs due to injury, but he has the ability to pop up in the right area and nick a goal. I like kelman but every time he has a good game hes dropped the following week!NabySarr said:wolfgang said:Posters always say what a great job NJ did in keeping us up, but ignore the fact that he has handicapped us, possibly even endangered us, for the coming season, with all the overpriced or overpaid crap he has signed which will limit our ability to strengthen the team.We have a whole recruitment team and process so not sure you can entirely blame just the manager there.So we are stuck with Ahadme, Apter and Tanto on quite long term deals.

Edit. If I was the Plymouth manager I'd make a cheeky enquiry for both Mitchell and Gillesphey this summer.1 -
Where would he go ? He’s onto a good thing with us. Ge either does amazing and repairs his reputation or he doesn’t but can blame low spending .Chawlton said:The season has barely ended and the bedwetting has already started.

Midfielders don’t tend to cost you points don’t get in a position to miss a lot of sitters and have defenders covering them if they make mistakes.southamptonaddick said:

People still bitching about the manager do realise he’s going nowhere, trust me it’s much more pleasant going along for the ride and giving our full support to the manager and team, although admittedly a bit trying at times😂wolfgang said:Posters always say what a great job NJ did in keeping us up, but ignore the fact that he has handicapped us, possibly even endangered us, for the coming season, with all the overpriced or overpaid crap he has signed which will limit our ability to strengthen the team.7 -
Would second this, and add that Apter is still quite young and a good loan next season might see him get his head back on straight and might, if nothing else, help increase his value.NabySarr said:wolfgang said:Posters always say what a great job NJ did in keeping us up, but ignore the fact that he has handicapped us, possibly even endangered us, for the coming season, with all the overpriced or overpaid crap he has signed which will limit our ability to strengthen the team.We have a whole recruitment team and process so not sure you can entirely blame just the manager there.So we are stuck with Ahadme, Apter and Tanto on quite long term deals.

Ahadme and Tants I don't have massive hopes for other than League One loans. I think that's the level for both, and I do think both, Tants in particular, will have interest.
In recent years, predating Jones, we've done a good job of signing players to extensions to protect their value. The one exception might be Macca, who we signed after promotion despite the fact there were questions about him as a Championship center half, but as you said, every club gets some wrong.
I think most of the players we don't want will have the opportunity to go out on loan at a minimum, which should get most of their wages off the wage bill. I think some, like Macca, will be allowed to go on a free where maybe we'll need to make a bit of a payout, but I don't think it will be massive. Most of the players there are questions over only have one year left on their deals--which isn't that hard to get out of via a free and a bit of a payoff if needed.
All in all, I think we should be able to move on players who don't have a place here next season without too many issues.1 -
I would expect Gassan to leave for an "undisclosed fee" which means for free and something has been worked out to cover his wages no chance he's anywhere near the club next season.
I'm interested to see what we do with the youngsters; Anderson, Asiimwe, Kanu, Dixon etc.1 -

Linked on Boreham Wood instragram site with their winger Abdul Abdulmalik… along with a number of clubs0

I think we WILL see a load of transfers this summer.1
-
Ex Millwall academy , will expect he'll have basically the entire EFL after him. Not sure a player like him really fits how we want to play though, very much an out and out winger. Probably end up somewhere like Luton at the top of L1RonnieMoore said:Linked on Boreham Wood instragram site with their winger Abdul Abdulmalik… along with a number of clubs

As is often the case, a big wedge of U21 team players released, as they are seemingly not progressing sufficiently towards the 1st team squad - or blocking the pathway of younger promising players.clive said:
I feel for them.
It must be gutting to be told at that age that there's no future for them at the club.
For some though, they still may elsewhere make a decent career in the game - if they have the drive and determination to overcome a major setback like this.
And a bit of good fortune.

I don't know for certain but I'm sure the club try to help the released players with their future careers. 🤞Oggy Red said:
