4th place in the league doesn't call to release most of your players and start from scratch. Looking at that he may be thinking about playing 3 CBs with two wing-backs in a 5-3-2 or maybe even just a 3-5-2.

The defensive side of our game is the best in the league, if we can somehow combine it with a great attack (crazy, I know) we could go one better next time. It's just a matter of actually doing it, it's easier said than done.

Let’s be honest, it’s a big kick in the bollocks we have to witness Grant and Rutherford’s ineptitude again next year, the same could be said about Akil. I love the old ‘there’s a player in there’ bollocks about Grant, no there isn’t.

We can’t have Pearson, Manny and Lawlor on the books either, we need to offload at least one, wouldn’t rule out manny moving to the midlands or even back to Notts County.

Hopefully Summerfield decides to move on because I don’t think he’s good enough and offers nothing in the goals department, you always need one midfielder with the ability to score 10+ goals imo.

We now need two forwards who can stick the ball in the back of the net, at least one wide attacking player, two if we’re honest, one or two creative midfielders and a right wing back.

Over to you Brian.

Yeah, but you could retain less than 16 and it wouldn't be starting from scratch

Makes Hughes decisions even more baffling

Drop Jennings when he was our best player and play Carrington for the last few games of the season

Then drop Carrington to play Jennings in the playoffs

And keep on playing an incredibly poor Kevin Roberts instead of playing Carrington, clearly he preferred KR

Only to then release Roberts and offer Carrington a contract


Delighted Roberts has left though

Amazing to see Leo Smith’s contract finally come to an end. It’s been so long - I think John Major was Prime Minister when he first signed. I wonder why he was given such a long contract .

Take away the players under contract and there aren't many of:

Rob Lainton
James Jennings
Mark Carrington
Luke Summerfield
Doug Tharme
Kieran Kennedy

Who don't deserve a new contract surely? I know some people want shut of Summerfield but for large periods of the season he was put best midfielder.

I don't reckon all those will stay anyway. But with th eplayers we've got left and half a dozen additions we should be capable of at least matching our league position.
