    Been a few changes already at Home Park so thought I would start this up to try and keep track on actual squad rather than rumours and stuff, so if I have followed this right the current squad is..

    Goalkeepers:

    Cole
    MCormick


    Defenders:

    Berry
    Blanchard
    Branston
    Nelson
    Richards
    Purrington
    Blackman
    Trotman
    Reckord

    Midfielders:


    Young
    Wotton
    Hourihane
    Blizzard
    Gurrieri
    Boco
    Bencherif


    Strikers:

    LeCointe
    Reid
    Harvey
    Vassell
    Allessandra
    Chadwick
    Morgan




    Will update this as and when we sign additional players, let me know who I have missed out. Think the weakness upfront was obvious but very light in midfield too.

    Updated with those who have not actually signed offers, lot of work to be done.

    Good thread mexijan........there are some big gaps at present...but waiting for players to say yes or nay to Sheridan's offer to them to continue.

    Looking at that it is a team sheet rather than a squad. We only have enough to field 11 men without even any subs. Watch for a few free signings in the near future though because I think there will be a slow trickle of them over the coming month. Gulp......

    So we wait for Bhasera,Cole,Gurrieri,Hourihane & Vassell to reply to offers from Sheridan to new contracts.

    Bhasera..... might wait to see if there are any other clubs interested before committing.

    Cole..... might be concerned that he will become second fiddle.

    Hourihane..... I think will sign soon.

    Gurrieri.....will not do better elsewhere personally.

    Vassell..... will definately sign he hasn't proved himself for others to show interest in him as yet.

    I would have thought Vassel would have signed there and then lucky to be offered another chance. That said there must be something there as both Fletcher and Sheridan seem to rate him.

    I assume we are not hearing about some players resigning yet because they have grabbed sometime away.....hence the picture of LeCointe on a Turkish beach, although of course he isn't due a new contract this year.

    Yes he needs to unwind after the hard season he had!!! Would rather see pictures of him in the gym. He and Nelson, Young to an extent too, really need to be making themselves permanent fixtures in the first team next season or be moving on. Especially disappointed with LeCointe this season it wasn´t like there was massive competition for the strikers spots.
    Houri maybe looking at options think the others will sign.

    It's funny how things go because there was a time not long ago I would have gladly paid for Hourihan's taxi to the station. However, since being given the armband I think he has come on a huge amount. Being given the responsibility here might swing it for him signing on and wasn't a bad move by Sheridan in the end.

    The armband and some older heads around him too. Always liked him but when your the experienced one at his age that was too much for him. Hope he stays but may get a better offer from higher division, with better players around him think he could really shine.

    Sensible..... as part of the green army you're already No12 without being a season ticket holder/member.

    Very quiet at present....but players contracts still have a few weeks left before having to say yes/no to negotiate a new contract.......most players will be having sometime away.

    That also goes for any targets that Sheridan has pencilled in to enquire about........has he done anything about replacing his coaching staff etc as yet....or have I missed it ?

    So quiet there is an echo it seems Plym :grin:
    Would have hoped to have seen a bit of movement by now tbh, few clubs already making signings and a few good players released and unattached. Just hope we do not leave it too late and end up with the left overs.
    Anything official on Chadwick has he done the honourable thing or is he holding on ´til the death.
