I'd be wanting to build a side starting from the base of Pearson if he has enough legs to go again, Scott Pollock, Crawford, Shiels if he can pick up where he left off, and McLintock. Dewhurst too if he'd ever come back. I would not extend that list at the present moment.
I'd agree with this. Pollock I can't imagine will be here next season. I'd be surprised if he's still here in a months time.
The one thing I would say is I think we all do have BUFC blinkers on a little when discussing players. If we look at our best players last season I'm sure most would agree; Seriki, Dewhurst, Elliott and Byrne.
Of those this season the one at the highest level is Seriki but even he is just a bench warmer for Rochdale, he gets a few minutes some weeks and other weeks is just an unused sub. They're also down in 19th in League Two. Dewhurst seems to have been dropped by Scunny recently bottom of the NL. Elliott struggled for game time at Boreham Wood and has been shipped out to Gateshead. Byrne still at this level and by all accounts hardly pulled up any trees.
I suspect we'll lose Pollock but he'll only go to a NL side and likely not stand out.
All those players stood out for us last season but based on this season it wouldn't be a massive shock if any came back as it doesn't really seem to be working out for them slightly higher up the ladder despite how good they looked for us!
