So our illustrious manager/head coach has stated that he wants a squad of 25 next season. He has also stated that he will be bringing players in. I think the general consensus is that we need 5 new players.
So doing the maths, we currently have a squad of 35 and with 5 additions bringing the total to 40, Lambert is presumably going to ditch 15 players at the end of the season.
So lads, time to put necks on blocks and have at guess at which 15 players will no longer be at the club at the start of next season. This is not a chance to say who you would dump but rather who you think Lambert is going to dump.
I'll note all your selections and award RAA points in August.
Here are the players, take your pick.....
Keepers
Ikeme
Lonergan
Burgoyne
Defenders
Batth
Silvio
Doherty
Iorfa
Hause
Williamson
Stearman
Ebanks-Landell
Borthwick-Jackson
Midfielders
Edwards
Price
Coady
Saville
Evans
Wallace
Henry
Oniangué
Saiss
Ronan
Costa
Cavaleiro
Teixeira
Graham
Zyro
Forwards
Dicko
Bodvarsson
Gibbs-White
Mason
Gladon
Enobakhare
Weimann
Marshall
Well as it turned out Paul Lambert never got the chance to hire or fire anyone but Nuno has certainly been the new broom who swept clean.
So the results of the competition are as follows:
The Who Stays and Who Goes 2017 champion is
Tino with 12
Joint second with 11 are DJ/Spangles, Wulfrunnut and myself
Joint third with 10 are Cinci and Bute
Well done everybody

Oh man, ok then.
Lonergan has been awful so I suspect lamberk will want to keep him, runs alot in training.

OK Derby game over (than f*ck)
Here's my analysis of the squad:
Keepers
Ikeme STAY
Lonergan GO
Burgoyne STAY
Defenders
Batth STAY
Silvio GO
Doherty STAY
Iorfa GO
Hause STAY
Williamson GO
Stearman STAY
Ebanks-Landell GO
Borthwick-Jackson GO
Midfielders
Edwards STAY
Price STAY
Coady STAY
Saville GO
Evans STAY
Wallace GO
Henry GO
Oniangué GO
Saiss GO
Ronan STAY
Costa GO
Cavaleiro GO
Teixeira GO
Graham STAY
Zyro STAY
Forwards
Dicko STAY
Bodvarsson STAY
Gibbs-White STAY
Mason STAY
Gladon GO
Enobakhare STAY
Weimann STAY
Marshall STAY
1 out of 3 keepers go
5 out of 9 defenders go
8 out of 15 midfielders go
1 out of 8 forwards go
Makes it sound as if we have some great forwards. In the end I was looking for a 15th to leave and deciding between Enobakhare and Saiss. Decided to keep Eno has he can still improve, not sure Saiss will get any better.
Not really sure whether the numbers add up, because if we bring in 5, one has to be a goalkeeper two have to be forwards so, if my selection is correct we will be getting rid of 13 players who are defenders or midfielders and only replacing 2 of them. We can afford to lose lots of poor midfielders but it will make the number of defenders quite light and only 1 fullback at the club.
Maybe he can play 3 at the back or Marshall at fullback, but the numbers still don't work.
Who'd be a manager?

Oh I suppose Coady counts as a fullback nowadays
