It does indeed, and only re-affirms, in my view anyway, that Colin doesn't know what he's doing! Don't quote me on this, but I'm sure I read an interview with one of the players where they said Hall does unbelievable stuff in training. Is he a player who can't bring training pitch form to actual matches, or is he simply not one of Warncock's favourites? As for Habibou; from the little I've seen of him, he's a complete wooden one who'll never do. Hopefully, the new man will only buy players he intends to use, either in the first 11 or as bench players

Paul Green was warnobs best signing.

For what it is worth the players i would keep would be as follows

Ashdown(as a No2)
Byram
Lees
Peltier
Warnock
Norris
Tonge
McCormack

No some people will not agree but lets face it we wont the money for a new squad and we will have to keep some of them we have.

Keep:

Paddy
ashdown
lees
byram
warnock
Austin
green
EHD.

The rest have serious impression to make on the new manager.
I also hope dawson gets the nod ahead of norris.
Eitheir way the new manager has some clearing out to do.
Ross mccormack is anyones guess, hot and cold, but under the right attacking style would trouble this division.

Keep:
Bryam: No-brainer.
S. Warnock: Slightly old, but still no-brainer.
Pelts: Not captain material, but done decently enough to stick around.
Lees: Generally decent, still young enough to have the excuse he'll get better over time.
Pearce: Bit slow, but a keeper.
Green, Tonge, Norris: Not spectacular, but deserve another try with us.
Kenny and Ashdown: Don't really have that many issues with either for them not to be back next season.
Morison: He's no Becchio, but still could be a big producer next season.
Diouf: Good solid veteran player, and still the most talented player we have.

Upon Further Review
Drury: Could be a good back-up at LB, not really given much of a chance and injured.
Austin: Done enough to get another chance at this level, barely.
Hall: Probably back next season, could be decent, could be utter cack—then sell him to Norwich.
Somma: Dunno about him, and probably gone anyway. Gave it a good go, but injuries did him in.
White: Someone said he was fast. Too bad he can't seem to cross a decent ball in to save his life.
Habibou: Probably back to Belgium next season.

Past Expiration Date
Brown: To be fair, in his role as a enforcer-type, done okay. If he was closer to 30, than 40, I'd keep him around.
Kissy: Loved having him in the shirt, always a warrior.
Bromby: Another warrior, but can't see him back.

Not Just No, But Hell No!
Varney: This years David Lucas, but at least Lucas didn't pretend he was Messi.

I Want To Love Him, But He Really Just Annoys The Piss Out Of Me
McCormack: I really try to love Ross, but I can't figure what position he suited for. If he wasn't so hot/cold (mostly cold), and scored some goals, would be a no-brainer to stay.

Youths
I look forward to contributions from the likes of Thompson, Poleon, Gimpel, Dawson, Turner(s), Taylor, Cairns, etc...
