Bacunas going nowhere sitting on another 4 years!!!!

Niasse, Arter and Camarasa will be returning to their clubs at the end of the season, so are not included. Neither is Gunnarsson, who is off as well.
This is what I think is the remaining squad, with who I think should stay or go. My thoughts might clash with others.
Neil Etheridge Stay
Alex Smithies Stay
Brian Murphy Stay
Lee Peltier Stay
Joe Bennett Stay
Sean Morrison Stay
Bruno Ecuele Manga Stay
Jazz Richards Go
Leandro Bacuna Go
Matthew Connolly Go
Greg Cunningham Go
Souleymane Bamba Stay
Joe Ralls Stay
Josh Murphy Stay
Callum Paterson Stay
Bobby Reid Stay
Loic Damour Go
Kadeem Harris Stay
Junior Hoilett Stay
Danny Ward Go
Kenneth Zohore Go
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing Stay
Rhys Healey Go
It leaves us with no strikers and 1 centre midfielder. Our centre backs are aging as well. It could be that our squad needs more than a bit of a rebuild during the summer.
Bacunas going nowhere sitting on another 4 years!!!!
Roughly 10,000 fans going!
Reasonable assumptions. Would only disagree on a couple
I am sure Bacula will be staying.
Ward ( on his showing today) could be a useful back up in the championship.
Hoilett and Ralls have little to offer the club in any division.
All loaners to be returned without silly bids
Here's my presumptions:
Neil Etheridge Stay
Alex Smithies Stay
Brian Murphy Stay
Lee Peltier Stay
Joe Bennett Stay
Sean Morrison Stay
Bruno Ecuele Manga Stay
Jazz Richards Stay
Leandro Bacuna Stay
Matthew Connolly Go
Greg Cunningham Stay
Souleymane Bamba Stay
Joe Ralls Stay
Josh Murphy Stay
Callum Paterson Stay
Bobby Reid Stay
Loic Damour Go
Kadeem Harris Go
Junior Hoilett Stay
Danny Ward Stay
Kenneth Zohore Stay
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing Stay
Rhys Healey Go

Ah, I've just read a topic that included post match comments that Warnock made about Murphy not training well. I see where you might be coming from now. I can also understand how Reid must be feeling right now, so yeah, fair point you made..
They might if Neil Warnock goes, and I hope he does.
His post match interview yesterday was embarrassing. He is shot and has nothing left to offer. To leave Murphy out as a punishment for not training well is so childish, especially as we are fighting for premier survival. The same goes for Healey being subbed ahead of Reid.
He has done wonders getting us promoted and uniting the Club. But we all know from his past that he has never been successful in the top tier and history is repeating itself.
Next season we need to rebuild under a new manager. It will take time and I predict a mid table finish in the championship for the next few seasons.
Neil and his team need to go and soon.
'd be amazed if we don't get a can't-turn-down bid for Etheridge.
Connolly and Damour are probably the only ones likely to be leaving. Other than that I think Warnock will look to keep the rest. Personally I would be looking to move on Jazz, Ward and Zohore as well.
Not forgetting O'Keefe and the returning loanees. Tomlin, Bogle and Madine can all be moved on.
Even though he’s been out player of the year I’m not sure Etheridge will be in demand at PL level.
His kicking is the weakest part of his game and most clubs want keepers who are comfortable on the ball so they can start from the back.
So frustrating on times, he’s obviously rigidly sticking to Warnock’s orders, but Jesus Christ mix it up a bit. The opposition always know it’s going to be a long ball and organise accordingly inevitably winning the ball. There’s times when both our full backs are free and possession could be kept, I've found myself screaming at him to roll it out but does he listen???????? No he frigging doesn’t, if he does leave he may have to go back to goalkeeping school and enrol in the distribution course!!
One thing we definitely need, a goalscorer. Two would be nice, but wont be greedy, one will be fantastic.
We never stole any points this season, not to my memory anyway (maybe Brighton home given the decision in our favour). We had to scrap and work for everything we had, a goalscorer may have stole us a few points here or there where we didn't deserve it.
Leandro Bacuna Stay
Matthew Connolly Go
Greg Cunningham stay
Bamba Stay
Joe Ralls Stay
Josh Murphy Stay
Callum Paterson Stay
Bobby Reid Stay
Loic Damour Go
Kadeem Harris go
Junior Hoilett Stay
Danny Ward stay
Well we'll need an almost entirely new midfield. Vaulks as a Gunnarsson replacement?
Hopefully a few academy players can step up
