His clumsy style was distracting for ICT fans too but he had a cracking goal to game ratio like McKay up there when playing a system more suited.
No sure though TEK. All depends on the manager we end up with, his ability to recruit and contacts/network to bring in quality.
If we end up with an inexperienced manager id be glad to keep him. Glad we have Si Murray as his attitude and speed will serve us in the Championship well even if its just as a sub.
Neither are lone strikers.

You could probably make a decent case for most of the squad to stay if you took them on their individual merits. Ability wise, they are all more than capable of doing a job in the Championship.

Whether you cab argue that some are more culpable than others, the bottom line is that the entire squad failed massively. It's a clean sweep that's needed now. They may have the ability, but they don't have the heart.

I'd only keep players who are A. likely to improve B. have sell on potential, or C. be undeniably better than anyone we could sign in that position.

Based on that, I'd keep Murray, Spittal and Fraser.

They're all part of a deep malaise at the club. I've no hankering to keep any of them if I'm honest.

Of course he could be a good Championship player but facts are he has been pish for United before this week.

Tonight was the first time I thought he looked 100% fit. He was sharp and much more mobile. Agree, he'd cause problems in the Championship.

Last 18 months have been a slow lingering nightmare........clear out and start again is the only way....they are all keech....if not they're close to keech....we must start again .....oh and Morris !!!

Spot on, 100%.

You listen to Francis, Mark, he's talking sense.

Fucking right I am, see inside, you wouldn't last two fucking minutes.
 

Ofere isn't what we needed to get us out of trouble this year and has struggled to work up a decent partnership with anyone since he came in.

Doesn't win enough in the air for his height, when he gets the ball to his feet rarely makes a pass and sometimes looks uninterested.

However.

Would do a job I think in the championship and might be what we need next year.

Si Murray top scorer in the championship next year btw..

We need a new manager in quick as possible to make those decisions. There is no argument that most of the free to leave players have got what they deserve. However can they be replaced with better players who will accept £500 p/w?  I would take Durnan over players like McCracken or Benedictus they are the sort of options at £500.

 
Beharder I'm delighted to be able to agree with you. 

Was watching him closely last night and he really is a bit of an enigma.

His first touch is often so poor and sometimes he takes a touch too much or gets in a team mates road.He also missed an absolute sitter when tee'd up perfectly by Matty Smith.

BUT

He is/was involved in so so much of our play.He won every single aerial challenge.

He scored (again) and also won the header and set-up Johnson for the equaliser.The main thing i liked is he never hid the whole match and still looked for the ball constantly,this despite getting a fair bit of stick from fans in the ETL.

A big lump like him might just do well in the Championship if surrounded by pace and trickery like Murray,Johnson,Smith etc who can feed of his knock-downs/feed him.

He reminds me a bit of a rawer version of Mixu (the player).

Rekon his brain needs coached as much if not more than his feet.

Outlook on things, attidude etc.

Fair enough but I want the good attitude every match.
