    Good luck to Chuks. Unplayable on his day, just didn’t happen too regularly enough due to injuries. Good luck to him

    Surprised Tennai Watson has been released, feel he had more to offer..

    The hardest player to get rid of will be Ahadme. 
    Still got 3 years left on his contract and I doubt any club above league one will be interested. 
    A terrible signing 
    They don’t want to get rid .. if he can get fully fit over the summer he will still be useful like he showed in pre season last year and the start of the season . And he not played in this system . 
    He has no pace . He’s injury prone and worst of all he couldn’t hit a cows arse with a banjo and that was in league one.  We need to get him off the wage list as soon as possible. Maybe Cambridge will want him .

    There are probably 6/7 on the retained list who should not be with is by the time the season starts, if we wish to stay up.

    AMB
    A Mitchell
    Berry or Docherty (keep one as backup)
    Ahadme
    Taylor
    Probably Asimwe, too big a step up now

    None good enough for the Champ

    No surprises:
    Wish all the guys well and hope we can fit Ahadme up with a League 1 loan even though we will have to pay 60% of the wages.

    Great for Watson, Chuks and Gilbert to finish with  happy memories of their time at Charlton. 
    Gilbert has potential to kick on with Middlesbrough.

    One of the interesting things is the club making it really clear which u21s are rated the most highly, as they’re now considered part of the first team:

    Gassan Ahadme, Karoy Anderson, Nathan Asiimwe, Luke Berry, Tyreece Campbell, Conor Coventry, Kaheim Dixon, Greg Docherty, Josh Edwards, Kai Enslin, Ibrahim Fullah, Macaulay Gillesphey, Matty Godden, Lloyd Jones, Daniel Kanu, Miles Leaburn, Will Mannion, Ashley Maynard-Brewer, Micah Mbick, Alex Mitchell, Zach Mitchell, Alan Mwamba, Kayne Ramsay, Terry Taylor.

    Loads of potential in that group of 7 players, and a good spread of positions, but we do need to be patient with them and support them in going through the ups and downs that come with progressing to the first team, rather than writing any of them off too early.

    Being in the Championship though might see a different plan for some of them, with loan spells rather than immediately being more involved in the first team.

    Laqeretabua is probably part of that group too after signing a new deal a while ago, but I believe he has a long term injury.

    Agree with Mitchell and maybe Taylor...

    So with them replaced with first team championship quality goalkeeper, right back, centre mid and two strikers it would more or less sort the squad.

    Still got 3 years left on his contract and I doubt any club above league one will be interested.

    Righto. He has been fit for weeks and Jones has chosen to use Mbick ahead of him. Jones knew what system he was going to play long before Ahadme joined. And was he really useful at the start of the season? NO.

    Would a player exchange in L1 or L2 be the most suitable way to facilitate his transfer, easing the impact on everyone involved? As with Fraser and Kirk, it's likely that we'll incur a financial loss whatever the option!

    Unfortunately for them, promotion should mean they are nowhere near the first team next season, except maybe Zach for his Scottish experience.
    Next season is about survival, not for inexperienced young players. I would be surprised if they are not all out on loan/released.

    Of those I think could move on I think most would be relatively easy to move (in terms of clubs wanting them and able to afford them at least), AMB, A Mitchell, Berry, Docherty, Taylor.  The only difficult one to shift will be Ahadme and sadly he has the longest contract!

    Good luck the Henry, came through our youth but career has stalled, I hope he finds the right club for him and works his way back up.

    So when has he not been fully fit, please tell us

    Seeing how the other players engaged with Danny Hylton on the pitch after the match Sunday, he looks to be a welcome addition to the coaching staff full time.

    He scored against sarfend 😀

    I feel for Watson, as he always seemed to give everything when he played, but ultimately, he's not a championship player. Totally understand Chuks going. No point in a player that can only play 30 minutes a week and will probably be out for half the season. He has also lost his pace this year, but this may well his head telling him not to put the burners on, rather than a physical issue?

    As for Gass, I don't think we ever saw the best of him this season, as he's the type that would suit an old skool 4-4-2, with "proper" wingers whipping the ball in, which makes it baffling as to why we signed him in the first place? Regardless, he needs to be moved on.

    I would like to see Taylor given a chance, very good dead-ball kicker, we haven't really seen if he can fit in.

    I was 50/50 on him in L1, but I'd definitely look to sell now - think there's a decent player there but not a Championship quality one.

    They have just been listed as retained so unlikely to be released.

    Loaned? Certainly and I suspect a lot of league 1 clubs will be interested in them.

    Our only hope is someone like Burton or Cambridge come in for him where he has played well before and can match his wages.

    Take the hit and free up some room. Utter dud.
    Don’t think there’s an issue with space in the squad. 
    Money yes. We have so many spots to fill

    Tennai was one I thought we would keep as cover....hopefully means Small is re-signing

    It's a harsh league, so unfortunately I'd be look at who we should definitely keep... and it's limited to Jones, Gillesphey, Ramsey, Coventry, Edwards, Godden, Leaburn, Small. There are others I'd be happy keeping, including the likes of Mannion, TC, Anderson, but some tough decisions are coming... and this released list isn't one of them.

    Ahadame lacks pace to run in behind and gets nowhere near a long ball when being the target man.
    Question is, what exactly is he good at.
    We can’t all be wrong about him being pony.
     Perhaps Jones and the coaching staff see something we don’t.

    I think we can trust NJs judgement on which of them are ready. This time last year some would have released TC. Others didn’t mind him in the squad but never expected him to become a regular starter, especially not in a hybrid striker/winger role.

    Some but not all will likely go on loan. None will be released as the club confirmed they’re under contract.

    We’ll have 9 subs in the league, I’m sure there will be plenty of times when some of that group make up the bench.

    Take him back to 1987 then .
