Got to feel sorry for DH in all this, doubt he’s had much input or he surely wouldn’t have left himself so thin at the back.
Just my opinion, but he came in not as a successful applicant to a vacancy, but as part of a team brought in with clear short term objectives. He is a good orator who knows what to say to fans, but he’ll be fully onboard with all of this.
100%.
There's been a few quotes from various managers or observers that this team has massively under achieved, not from what i've seen, they are simply not good enough. Whatever you think of the reasons for the clear out, it's not before time, just have a look at the defensive record. Our most consistent players have been Dobson, Sessegnon and Fraser, Saki has just return to form and Innis and Ness have laid their bodies on the line since Holden took over. We can all see Leaburn's potential and the kids coming through are going to be better than the people moved out of the club today, those players needed to go and I'm glad to see the back of them and hopefully Sandgaard.
So you don’t foresee any injuries or suspensions ?
I do but I still think we can cope, there's nineteen games left, as much as I think the points could be gained to get to the playoffs, it's a long shot but if you have an opportunity to move certain players out, even on loan, take it. The squad is not in a good place with half a dozen players not involved in matchdays and we have enough to cope.

Innis is very injury prone. Ness is a kid (albeit one with great promise) and Hector ain't fit. When was the last time Elerewe played for us? We have 2 striking options.
Yes it is great that we are clearing out some dross but does anyone have any confidence that they'll be adequately replaced come the summer?
Remit is clearly cost cutting in all areas. O'Connel departure seems very short-sighted.
In all honesty I don’t think any of the departing players will be missed with the possible exception of OConnell as cover . The better players AMB , JW, Ness, Sess, Dobson, Frazer , CBT , JRS and Leaburn remain and with the new additions the squad will probably be stronger albeit lighter in numbers.
That seems fair, it just seems that we always seem to leave ourselves short in one position, and now that's CB.

Oh come on Thomas are you serious ?
Have you worked out the difference between left and right yet ?
Where's the replacement for Stockley? Can't just have Bonne and Leaburn, Aneke is out more than he is in?
Bonne was the replacement I guess.
We were short of a striker before Stockley moved on and Bonne came in. So currently we have Leaburn and Bonne who are match fit, and Leaburn is still a kid and learning his trade.

Its not that these players have left its that we have replaced them with loans (which will have to be replaced in the summer) and players on short term contracts (which again will have to be replaced in the summer). To add at least 1 hasn't played all season & we've already got a loaneee injured on his debut. And we still haven't replaced the striker that left last summer.
Just checked, we have they option to recall loans if that's what we state in the contract, so moving Lavelle out on loan is the same as McGrandles a good move.

That must be a rhetorical question or you haven't seen them play !

O'Brien to Gills
Lol
But if you think that's all ok then crack on.
