A few thoughts on our squad following today's game. Don't get to many games but seen enough to give a view I think
Hincliffe. Must be one of the best part time keepers around. Doing the will be with us next season as unlikely to go pro.
Cowan - no idea why in team ahead of minihan. Offers nothing going forward but solid defensively
Clarke- no better that garrett
Palmer and Arthur- both solid enough for me. Would neek palmer next season. Can see a lot saying he has hit his peak but still great captain for me
Keane - love Keane but felt he withered on the ball a little today. Definitely keep for next season
Maynard - solid and big physical presence. Think he tried as game progressed but useful addition
Dimaio and Thomas. Game passed them by. Not sure Thomas is of required level for what we will need. Dimaio is definately talenred but hard to prove in a congested midfield
Lloyd. Buzzed around and was our most dangerous player by far. Best player on pitch
Bell - offers v little to me. Has all the physical attributes but doesn't use them properly. Seems slow of mind
Of the current group I'd say minihan palmer arthur Keane lloyd plus osbourne of required standard for where we want to go.
Players who have been magnificent servants like Sam Walker Turnbull might just be the end of the road
