What does Jensen offer ? Also seen little from potter

Jensen - 3rd choice (2 new keepers in front of him) more of a coaching role.
Potter - assumed by signing him in January his contract will be longer than 6 months. I do agree seen very little from him.

[grufti]

agree, apart from Collins - he's very solid most of the time, and maybe Green and Coulthirst

If I were Evans I'd be asking wh_stag why Bennett is not on either list

[yorkstag]

And Mcguire is on both

[Spiritater]

I'm just confused now, I'll leave it up to Evo.

[stagmanrob]

Can't believe people want to get rid of Collins. It goes to show that the kind of job he does, because it isn't a glamourous one, goes largely un-noticed

[tibby]

What has Potter done wrong?

Also, Byrom. Great, if not mostly exceptional set-pieces. Yet to see him actually dictate a game from midfield

I presume there will be a massive change in the summer

Dont like to say it as I always defend him, but Benning may well be gone aswell

[BoughtonStag71]

Agree with you on Collins, does the dirty work well and decent enough with the ball. I'd keep Benning but he needs competition. Of the strikers I'd keep Rose and unload the rest. Hopefully MG will knock some in before the seasons end

[cassellswasmagic]

He will be trying to keep Shaq. Evans rates him highly. I would keep Rose & Shaq, maybe as back up to a few better strikers.

[tillydog123]

Agree a little early but a very good list and probably fairly accurate from fans viewpoint but managers see it all differently with all the other issues behind the scenes that we are never party to

Not sure about Potter, u would think he should have been more influential but not really seen much of him to judge but on the face of it he is an unknown quantity at this stage.

Think Coulthirst and Rose only likely strikers to stay....using the term strikers loosely........ but both would need to up their game a lot.

Hes not effective enough as a midfielder end of, I can't see us winning promotion with him in the midfield or in defence, Northampton got rid of him for a reason.

far too many times for a defensive minded player I've seen him just watch a player run towards goal and he's just trotted along making no effort to get back and defend.

[SINA STAG]

I would open up n get rid of the shower who keep raining on our promotion parade

[daddycool]

You need good squad players ,everybody cannot play and Collins covers a few positions.no brainer ,he stays

I agree! Collins isn't good enough as a defender, nor good enough as a midfielder. He is not an inspirational captain either. Another post claimed that he is 'a good squad player' - yet he plays in every game, first name on the team sheet. McGuire is a better holding midfielder - and even he isn't good enough!
Sorry, but I just don't rate Collins at all - I never have done.

Don't worry you are not on your own.

It's time the 'defensive' midfielder (he was moved cos he can't defend) was dispensed with and we have a go for it.

Strange the other night once he subbed Collins we just camped in their half.
