I think he said all of the second year scholars had been released apart from Kilgour who is another cracking centre half from the academy. No idea who the others are? The Second year pros are a different matter. I am surprised they have all been retained but hope to see more of Lucas next season out of that lot.

Lets hope Dominic Thomas can "Do a Bodin" as he has only been offered non contract terms. He seemed to be highly rated at 16 and 17 but had a few minor injuries last year and a pretty bad injury earlier this season.
If he is only been offered a short term deal hopefuly, he can use Bodin and Ollie Clarke as role models to prove that if you have the quality, right attitude and the determination, you can get longer deals even if you have had injuries in the past.
Ollie didn't play much till he was in his early 20's (neither did Linesy). I hope Dominic takes this on board. Doing the hard yards getting fit and playing local football while seemingly a million miles from the first team can't be much fun, but it beats working!
Good luck to all the young pro's, have a good summer and work hard and maybe you'll get a chance to impress in the league cup or JPT and then who knows.
Lucas is a natural finisher, so I hope he ties up a contract soon.

The Second year pros are a different matter. I am surprised they have all been retained but hope to see more of Lucas next season out of that lot. I assumed from the BP article the 2nd year scholars where those listed as 2nd year pros! Preston must be gutted to be the only one released, lets hope that decision doesn't come back to bite us in the future. Surprised Dom Thomas has been offered another contract given he's not come anywhere near a 1st team start this season. |

I think the club are obligated to offer Thomas something due to his injury and the fact he is not back to match fitness hence the non contract offer (Bodin had a contract just 3 months initially) but I think it unlikely that he will make an impact with some of the CM competition already at the club and I expect Darrell to add one more quality signing in there.
I was surprised to see Preston released, for me he is a better option than Puddy now, on the other hand I was surprised to see Lyttle and Greenslade get an offer.
Lucas needs to make the breakthrough this year or else I fear it wont happen for the lad.
I am excited about Broom, from what I have seen he can be very frustrating but has good pace but also Malpas, whenever I watched the U18 he was the stand out player, even when he was 16 plus like Lines, Clarke and past hero's like Holloway he is a Bristol Boy and I love seeing Bristol Boys make it at our club
