Too early to get carried away, but looking at the core squad, who do you think we'll keep (or will stay/return) should we be in L1 next season
Belly - 100%
Anssi - probably a new challenge, but 50/50
Ward - 100% (with some loans if Anssi stays)
Hoole - 100%
Taylor - Small chance of a return, if Stoke don't think he's quite ready yet. They would trust us to keep he improving.
Connolly - Quite hopeful we can pick him up at the end of his contract - risk for Cardiff to renew??
Harries - will be gone
Kilgour - 100%
Anderton -100%
Clarke - can't remember if he was a 1 or 2 year deal, but expect him to be given another season to stay fit
Brown - nope
Coutts - surely he's fit enough to play again and extend his contract. Think he'll be here whether we go up or not
Wheelan - possibly a coaching role?
Finley - Yup 100%
Rodman - sorry, but thanks for everything but no
Grant -100%
H. Anderson - 100%
Nicholson - Really not sure. 50/50, could return north of the border. Hopefully he stays and tears L1 apart
Thomas - So many factors here, barnsley could be in L1 too. Small chance we sign but guess unlikely
E.Anderson - Hopefully playing regularly in the prem. Thanks Billy!
Collins - of course, 100%
Evans - like Nicho, I'm not sure. 50/50
Jones - yes with some loans
Loft - for sure, but not sure how much he'll play. Maybe a quick sale back to L2?
Saunders - expect so
L Clarke - no
Lots of the bit part players left surely will go. Hopefully some of the youngsters out on loan get a chance and step up like Luca has done.
Ok, back to Northampton...

There are a lot of variables. Will Barton be found not guilty? If so, he will stay. If we get promoted after this, then will Barton be snapped up by a Championship side? If either of these things lead to Barton leaving, then how many of the current squad who are loanees or at the end of their contracts will stay? Not many I suspect, which will mean another almost complete rebuild of the squad.
If however, Barton stays after promotion, I am hopeful we can keep most of our best players and possibly get better.

Are Westbrooke's/Liddle contracts up this year? Ben Liddle on loan at Queen of the South but don't think he'd get in our current team.Not even listed on the Club's main site.
Defo Rodman and Harries to go.

Defo Rodman and Harries to go. I believe Westbrooke has another year. Mad really to think that Antony Evans will probably leave the club before he does |

Cross that bridge when we come to it. Promotion to League One will give us a lot more opportunities to renew contracts and possibly get loanees back for another year, so going up has to be the main priority to focus on.
Dare I say it that if we don’t go up this season, next season could be a bit trickier.

I agree, our side without Billy, Taylor and Connelly will be massively inferior and they will be very difficult to replace |

I think it's madness to even consider this when there's 27 points on the board and we're barely in the playoffs as things stand, but on the original post what would make Kilgour or Grant 100%. I think Barton might like them both as players but both have also had a litany of injuries.
