Garrido

I like, and reckon he's got scope to do better too - I'd keep him over Tierney, but yep that'd be an area to strengthen.

Johnson - again, not saying he's a nailed on starter, but he's a decent player and I think has scope to improve as he gains experience.

Holt - depends whether he's useful behind the scenes or not - he's had a poor season, but every club needs 'characters' who bind the squad together. Always got the impression that he was quite a good team man (altho poor with the PR) - considering our paucity of options up front I'm not mad keen to ship him out (& doubt we'd get much cash this summer for him).

Kamara is patchy, but still finding his feet in this league - looked good against Reading & if he's not too pricey I'd say he's worth a punt.

& I'd retain Bunn 'cos he's worked up an understanding with our back 4 & not looked a liability. Doubt he'd be challenging for a starting berth anywhere else at this level, would probably be happy as backup for Ruddy. Wouldn't want him as permanent replacement for Ruddy.

Lot of conjecture in that, but I think we've got the core of a well drilled side & that'd be a handy quality to have in the squad when we start picking up bans and injuries.

More keen that we start shipping out some of the names who aren't likely to be near the starting 11 - basically everyone out on loan except Butterfield, who I think still might be worth a punt as he gains experience.

Need players who'll give us tactical variety - bit of pace and a bit of nous - Hoped Fox could've provided the latter but has been off the pace this year.
