I think it is just a case of people expressing a view of whom they think may not make the step up rather than just casting them aside. Some may surprise most and make the step up.

So it's in bad taste to start the out thread now but in a couple of weeks it'll be ok? Ridiculous,im not saying they haven't performed when called upon. We have a big squad not all can be taken further up the ladder. Everyone on the board knows it so wind your necks in a bit.
It's your timing that is poor. We don't even know which league we will be playing in yet. Not with any certainty. Just poor timing.

Invariably at this stage of the season there is speculation on here as to who we will sign and who we will release, why should now be any different?

We are up!! there's no real debating that anymore mate? only the real pessimists amongst us. It might well be a bit callous to discard players that we've cheered at some point over the past couple of seasons. Thats the nature of the beast ain't it

But the point is we still need seven points to be certain. These players you are talking about getting rid of in the summer (especially BFG) will be needed to get those points. It is very poor timing. We are not up yet. It is not being pessimistic. It is a fact. We still need to get those points.

Even if we lost the next five I'd be surprised if we are overhauled in our current position of auto promotion

It's only 4 weeks now until the Villa match. Can we not wait until at least then?

That may well be true but, until it is confirmed, we need these players to be giving their all and shouldn't be talking about who to get rid of in my view. Even more so when there is a title to be won!

Every player who has played a part this season is welcome to stay and where forced to, to make a 25 man squad, they can go out on loan. If we have any injuries next season it is easier to call players back than it is to go into the market for a replacement who may only see the bench anyway. It's down to the players to develop their game, here and on loan, and to still fight for a place in the 25.
I think we and the players should all just enjoy the promotion and any talking about "offloading" rather than doing business souinds like slapping the very faces of the players who have helped to get us promoted. Not really sure why Uwe is on the list

Skalak will certainly be off
I think he'll be much better suited to the prem he's deadly accurate with his crossing and he'll get much more time to deliver them

Fair enough maybe we can reopen the thread mid July and see where we are

This is exactly my point (but put much better)
Re BFG, he may have been on the list a month or so ago but can't believe we'd let him go now. He's been brilliant recently

He's only on the list as he's 4th choice regardless of his current form he's 4th for a reason

I think futures will be confirmed before then. It may even be before the end of the season if we go up over the next couple of weeks so there won't be much time to debate it (except whether we agree or disagree with the decisions). I just think it is best to leave it until we're up and the title is decided.

Yep, he's been a hero since his return, and we need at least 4 CB's over the season. We've used 6 so far if we include Bruno and Tomori. If Goldson has a slow retutrn we may even need to keep Foren if he has proved himself on the training ground.
