You're confusing him with Beavon there, who I wouldn't keep either.

Jennings- 2yr rejected

Rutherford-1yr
Summerfield-1yr rejected
Grant- 2yr rejected

Holroyd- 1yr

That list would be the easiest way to decimate season ticket sales.

Grant's position is at the tip of a midfield diamond playing just behind 2 strikers. We play 4-3-3 so we don't see/get the best out of him. Based on what I have seen since he signed, I would not have him in the team. Considering he is League 1 standard, he is not good enough for us or it maybe just the way in which we play. Boden is an example!

Will Pearson and Lainton stay?

There's no reason to completely blow up a team that finished five points off the top of the table and improved 14 points over the previous season.

I would also bring back Kevin Roberts and Luke Summerfield (if he's healthy) for another season. Kemy Augustien might be worth a shot- give a chance to play his way into the squad in the pre-season.

This team isn't that far away from getting back to League Two. Bryan Hughes's focus in recruitment clearly has to be on bringing in strikers who can put the ball in the back of the net. Period.

Well I dont think that very precise position will miraculously turn him into a superstar.

The Boden example.is an anomaly, but we cant apply it to every crap player!!

Not if we get 3 or 4 quality players and 2 or 3 good prospects then we could/should take another step forward, instead of relying heavily on signing a dozen new players and hoping it all comes right.

That will be the biggest indicator to me of the reality of how the proverbial dressing room is.
