Right looking for a serious debate here. I don't for minute think we have a squad at the minute that will survive next season and anyone who thinks differently needs their head tested.
After last night performance and watching for 95% of our games this season home and away, I think it is safe to say we need at least 7 very good players to make a team up fit to keep us in the Premiership. The only players in my eyes who will cut it are as follows:
Kenny - No.1 on my team sheet and probably our best signing in the last 10-12years. Probably one of the best keepers in the country at the minute and proved that last night. Forgiven for his perfomance against Scunthorpe.
Taarabt - Spat the dummy out again last night but I think he was more disappointed in his performance rather than that was a reaction to NW taking him off. Be interesting to see how he copes with the step up, but we rely on him far too much.
Derry - Deserves another chance, although never had the best of games last night, I still think he's good enough.
Faurlin - One of his worse games last night, but still think he's good enough.
Smith - Has the ability just hope he still has the legs next season.
Mackie - His workrate is top draw therefore he should be able to make the step up, just worried if he can find that same application he had before the leg break.
Buzz - Big season for him coming up, could he handle it? If he can string some games together and find his old form then I think the Premiership will suit his game style.
BIG MAYBE's
Connolly - At the minute he's a fringe 1st team player for the Premiership, needs to get his head sorted out but I think he could be a good player in the future.
Gorkks - Another fringe 1st team player for the Premiership, but only because I rate him better than Evatt at Blackpool and he has sort of coped.
This is not a knee jerk reaction to last nights result. I've come to this conclusion over watching us over a number of games. I don't buy Pete's comments about their is not much of a step up from the Championship to the Premiership and still think its a big leap!
