Joel Dixon - has few fans but still need a decent 2nd choice - Release

MJ Williams - Versatile but we need better  - Release

Kieran Lee - love him but too injury prone this season - Release

Josh Sheehan  - shown flashes of quality but not a Champ player,  can do a job at this level - New contract

George Thomason  - Evatt likes him but he's not in the starting line up - Keep on the hope he gets better.

Lloyd Isgrove -  great servant but time to move on. - Release

Elias Kachunga - I like him (ducks) but when we signed him we had to wait for him to lower his wage demands so expensive.  New contract on less money.

Jon Dadi Bodvarsson - when fit he gives us another dimension - New contract.

 

That frees up 4 places plus the returning loans.  10 news players needed on the assumption that Sads is going to be moved on.

Got a feeling Vic will come good next season. Foolish to write off a January Evatt signing. Dempsey was "shite" 6 months ago - now arguably our best player.

They must have included when a ball is played to him it then bounces off him in the direction of the goals   

Thatd make his shots per goal higher

I don't think that's a surprising stat about Victor, he must have averaged less than 1 shot per game for us. 

He was shit in quite an unusual way in that he didn't do a huge amount wrong, other than be totally anonymous and never look remotely like scoring.

Itd be great to understand how hes getting on with it

Yknow, his thoughts

Are expectations getting him down

Is burton his type of place...big fish, tiny club

Did evatt expect more

I d love to know

Maybe, if Victor has a good goals to shots ratio, we just didn’t create enough opportunities for him?

I still think we are a bit lightweight for this division , what we need is a mad cunt in the midfield . A Chic Charnley that could play or a Stif Tofting . Someone to make the opposition midfield think "oh Fuck, its him" 

Can we sign the Hanson Triplets ? 

I also think we will go back in for Nlundulu , feel sure I read that part of the loan was an option to take him in the summer. 

Think DJ is our better LWB rather than Iredale and R Williams . 

And can we not go back in for Kioso and Fossey ? 

The Jerome thing reminds me of signing Robbie Blake , bit part player to get him on board as a coach/extra voice in the dressing room. 

Fossey just signed a 4 year deal in Belgium. That ship has sailed

Hes was fucking ace. The medical staff just didnt think he could pull off a full season and Bradley was already coming in.

Sad to see Kieran Lee go, we always looked better with Lee in the team than without him..

Same, he was a class act. Different of quality.

If Dion can score 20 goals in a possession team which isn’t really playing to his “run in behind” strengths, imagine how many he could get playing for a fast build up, counter attacking side…

Having said that, he could’ve had 30 goals for us, some of the chances he’s missed this season were sitters

He gets iimself into the positions though, that's why he got the 20. If he'd have scored 30 he wouldn't be with us now.

Same thoughts, when I first saw Santos I said he couldn't trap a bag of cement. Evatt knows his onions and to gamble 500k he must know something or have something in mind for him this season.

He doesn’t hold the ball up or offering blistering pace though so it’s gonna be tough to create the chances. What were his stats with us ? 

I got it Krimzon👍

Maybe. The fact he's scored 12 in 138 games in the EFL outside of his time at Burton suggests he's probably not Ivan Klasnic in front of goal. But we live in hope.

With regards Dan there’s nothing there myself to warrant another loan period, we need to improve in that area not stay the same

Don't understand this lingering desire for Stockton. He scored less than Adeboyejo this season.

Totally agree Mr Cheese

Stockton nah

1 good season the rest shite

Comes across as a billy big bollocks and showed his true colour's when he started sulking when his move fell through last season 

All about opinions but Dan nah not impressed . 

Just now, Rizlar said:

Yep - he isn’t good enough

Dan got 4 in a season and a half for a Cheltenham side that ‘didn’t create much’ and ‘hardly had any of the ball’ 

in the meantime May got around 35 in the same period… 
 

We aren’t challenging for the autos with the former. We would with the latter
