Keep, sign, sell or release

I believe that Alex Rodman is also under contract for next season

Left off the youngsters who haven’t been getting game time - thinking them to have already been covered off by the announcement the other day. Tomlinson got game time under GC though of course. Rate the kid a lot personally - surprised BG didn’t give him a go.

Agree with most but would keep Rodman. Intelligent player, good in the air, chips in with a few goals. Might not be the quickest anymore but a good role model and I think could make a good coach.

1 Netherlands GK Jordi van Stappershoef - Keep
32 Finland GK Anssi Jaakkola Keep

Happy with our keepers, Great shot stopper in Ansii and a decent backup for him.

2 England DF Mark Little - Release
3 England DF Tareiq Holmes-Dennis Release
5 England DF Tony Craig (Vice Captain) Keep
11 England DF Luke Leahy Release
15 England DF Alfie Kilgour Keep
16 England DF Tom Davies Keep
18 Scotland DF Michael Kelly Re-signed
22 England DF Josh Hare Keep
24 Wales DF Rollin Menayese Re-signed
25 Wales DF Cian Harries -- Under contract

The same as the OP for the defence, decent centre halves (although numbers may have to be trimmed) but room to improve for the fullbacks. Leahy is not a good left back for league one and only mediocre wingback, Little and THD although decent on their day, but are injured too often to keep their places in the team unfortunately.

4 England MF Abu Ogogo Keep
6 England MF Ed Upson Release
7 England MF Liam Sercombe Keep
8 England MF Ollie Clarke (Captain) Release - might be controversial in saying this but he needs to move on.
23 England MF Kyle Bennett Transfer List - waste of wage really.
26 England MF Sam Matthews Release - Needs to find a new club.
33 England MF Alex Rodman Keep
36 England MF Cameron Hargreaves Keep
39 Republic of Ireland MF Josh Barrett Under contract

Central midfielders another area of the squad that needs to be improved, don't have someone that will take the ball up the pitch and attempt the killer balls like Chris Lines used to do. If possible getting Mitchell-Lawson back for another loan stint would be excellent.

9 England FW Jonson Clarke-Harris Keep - no brainer.
17 England FW James Daly under contract
20 Scotland FW Gavin Reilly Release
10 England FW Tom Nichols Release

Again, the forward position is something that might need some strengthening in the summer. Reilly and Nichols don't really cut the mustard which only leaves us with Clarke-Harris and Daly and whilst I'm looking forward to seeing that partnership, I think we need more options there.

Lose sercombe? Interesting one. What are your thoughts there?

He’s one of maybe two players who might go this summer that I’d be pretty miffed if we didn’t manage to retain.

That’s a massive turnover and whilst a lot of free agents will be available, it will result in signing on fees and agents fees etc... I’d also be nervous on getting a team gelling in the first half of the season with that size of turnover. It’s one of the reasons we tend to struggle in Sept - Nov and why I think Coughlin benefitted at the start of this season as he had the bulk of a team from the season before

Agree with a lot of what you say and never usually like a big turnover of players, but would still be something I'm willing to do this once. Players/agents are going to have to be more realistic regarding signing on fees and wages in light of current events.

Would definitely keep THD on a pay as you play deal. I really rate him, but it's just the fitness problems like you say.

Problem with that is we'd still have to set aside £x amount from the playing budget in case he played every game whilst also signing a back up LB in case he spent 90% of the season out injured yet again, although is his contract up this summer anyway?
