I think if Holmes was going to get his contact extended it would have happened the same time as Sheehan. Obviously KC will want to bring in new players but I’d imagine there isn’t a huge amount of room budget wise. We are paying Nuttall’s wages, Martin & Lines have been fringe at best since joining over a year ago. Missilou doesn’t seem the answer in midfield and I wonder how Adams, Marshall, Hoskins and even Holmes would fit in if we continue with 5-3-2 going forward, all have defensive limitations as wing backs so the only other option is as one of the front 2. With the possible exception of Hoskins I would look to move on some of these players but can’t see it happening so the only way to bring in someone new I’m sad to say might be not renewing Holmes contract.

Always looked decent when playing for Walsall against us......unfortunately though now he is on a season long loan at Bristol Rovers from Charlton Athletic. Since leaving Walsall for Bolton, then onto Charlton and now onto Bristol Rovers he has not scored a league goal......42 appearances. |

Racic - Goode swap

Loyd Jones has already come in for Racic, I'd be very surprised if we even go in for another CB as there isn't the space in the 22 for them compared to the bigger priority positions of wing-back and striker (and arguably goalkeeper, though I'm not sure we'll reinforce there).

The only people I can see leaving is Adams, Marshall and Holmes, given our current budget can we get anyone better?
We desperately need some more firepower and creativity as has been said....
Have we signed anybody yet?

So the club were "going to start discussions" with Holmes (and Sheehan) a couple of weeks ago and now the club is "not in a position to offer Holmes a new contract"
Holmes was taking up a place in the 22 man list prior to the window opening, so him being out of contract does at least free up a space for someone else......but it still means we have the likes of Martin and Lines amongst the 22.....
Pay off one of those to keep Holmes.....or let Holmes go and pay for someone else to come in?

Hang on a sec the Chairman chap said we would sign some League 1 players in January. If we already had 22 then he needs to sack some.

Not as simple as that i'm afraid. You can only pay players off if those players agree to being paid off. Both Lines and Martin are probably happy sitting on decent contracts and will sit it out until the end of the season. It will only change if one or both receive decent offers from other clubs, we can only hope that will happen this month. It doesn't necessarily mean Ricky isn't wanted, but that there are other priorities at this moment in time as KC has already said. They are still in dialogue with Ricky after all. |

Ricky had his chance, he had 5 minutes against Lincoln and did nothing and 3 minutes against Gillingham and yet again failed to score, get rid. Whilst we're at at get rid of McWilliams and Sheehan and then we needn't worry about any game. |

How many total minutes has Holmes played? From what I have seen Holmes has flattered to deceive. Cannot remember him doing any of his great drives upfield! I suspect that we won’t see the Holmes of old? |

I think his best position out wide is not something that we utilise, but he is by far the most talented player we have. It doesn't sound like it's closed for him entirely at the moment, we just need to get others to agree to leave before we can give him a space.

Let’s face it Ricky Holmes will be gone, ridiculous decision by Curle, completely clueless, he plays Hoskins in every position possible but Ricky Holmes and Marshall don’t get a look in, the bottom line is they are both pedigree footballers neither of them are required for Curls awful brand of anti football hoof ball.
Personally I pay my money to watch players of that class not lumbering lumps like Horsfall or Smith.

If continue with the formation of the last couple of games the only position I can see Holmes having a chance of playing is the the role currently played by Rose.

Give him a free role behind the front 2, we desperately lack quality in midfield. |

Maybe Keith knows this and has the matter in hand, time will tell. |
