I know right. I can't help getting this feeling that something may be about to change though!

Its obvious but the first stage is to get the squad playing better & getting points.
This will be down to man management & the players ability to understand, accept & get done what they're told. We don't have long but you'd hope we have more in the squad than most of the opposition (not saying much).
Whether TM stays at the end of the season or not there needs to be a proper clear out. So I agree it may be a positive that so many players will be out of contract. They have a short time to prove them selves to TM or they'll be gone. We're not where we are solely because of SP. Players have to take some responsibility but too many of them don't seem too bothered. I don't expect TM to stand for that for long.

Plenty of seasons past we have said we need to clear out the deadwood & start fresh. This is now our chance, purely because because there could almost be nobody left.
The biggest concern I have is not the amount of players left, we need to get the long term managers position sorted otherwise things may get desperate and it'll be yet another write off next season.
We must be pushing for promotion next season.

Guess some players will be thinking that they're going to be history at the end of the season whatever happens.
So maybe less incentive to bust a gut. Sorry state of affairs. It's Cov innit.

Not good enough under SP. They might be ok under Mowbray. Remember McDonald who was no good under SP, McSheffrey who was no good under SP, Daniels, Clarke, Baker, Madine who were no good under SP? All now banging in the goals elsewhere.

If this is the plan, it is seriously flawed. From past experience the percentage of players who can transition from the academy to the first team is very low. Any outstanding players will be sold very quickly and we will be left with the players 'not quite good enough' - which is exactly what we have now.

Trouble is, at the start of this season, that was pretty much what we were saying we had then, Reda Johnson, JOB, Tudgay.
Don't they sell sofas now.... DLS

Not trying to piss on anyone's chips here, but just how bad are we all going to be feeling if TM does really well for us until the end of the season and then buggers off to a bigger club?
The dumps we have been down in this season are going to feel like small lottery win compared to having to start all over again in the Summer.

Sort of agree Otis, although I'd prefer a new person starting off the season to SP still being in situ, as I would have struggled to 'dream' about doing well when the new season kicked off.

Yep, agree with this. And there is a vast difference in slowly blooding academy players carefully to just throwing them straight into the team at the drop of a hat.
If the plan is to make an assault on the top 6 places next season, that is going to be incredibly difficult with a squad with numerous kids in it who are still learning and developing.

2 things I'd like to point out from the OP player list. Looking at it we need a complete overhaul, send back the loanees, see what youth we can use and let TM bring in decent players who will make a difference. 2nd point is SP wasn't getting the best out of what we have so I guarantee 1 or 2 players that we might think is shite may all of a sudden look and be decent!
