Stats are awful for every player except Satae.
OK saying move those 4 on, but 3 are under contract and we need replacements in a really tough market, unfortunately think we are stuck with them for another season.
The key thing is that these players are accountable, if they never get dropped where in the incentive to play.
Its unbelievable that Houghton has to play 80 minutes every week.
Well Houghtons out of contract so there's one we can say thank you for your services too. Distribution is getting worse, and head doesn't look in it at times.
Shaul has he got another year after this one? If so try and loan him out with his wages covered for next season.
Taylor same as above.
Griffin same as above.
You've got to question, the decisions from the top, contract renewals and judgement on players, leaving a hell of alot to be desired. Still alot of work to do on this squad, Hodgson isn't helping by persevering with massively out of form seniors and players who have been told they arnt needed by the club anymore.
Catch 22 stick with the ones with the wrong mentalitys and bad form and hope for the best.
Or introduce an academy batch, putting up with maybe short term pain, but the experience will do them good, plus the effort and desire would be there.
Very intrigued what happens end of season, as soon as Connor got injured this season was done for me, as we're way too 1 dimensional, and Hodgson seems to have no plan or attacking strategy in place.
I'd be working my hardest to remove the 4 mentioned, and shrewdly if possible signing some senior pros to replace them who have strong leadership and professionalism, to compliment the talent coming through.
