These are the players who's contracts are running out at the end of the season: Stuart Nelson Glenn Morris John Egan Aaron Morris Callum Davies Doug Loft Jermaine McGlashan Emmanuel Osadebe Elliott List Josh Wright Luke Norris Brennan Dickenson Contract lengths: Stuart Nelson - 2016 Glenn Morris - 2016 Ryan Jackson - 2017 Bradley Garmston - 2018 John Egan - 2016 Max Ehmer - 2018 Aaron Morris - 2016 Callum Davies - 2016 Doug Loft - 2016 (option of extra year) Jake Hessenthaler - 2019 Jermaine McGlashan - 2016 Emmanuel Osadebe - 2016 Bradley Dack - 2018 Elliott List - 2016 Josh Wright - 2016 Ben Williamson - 2017 Cody McDonald - 2017 Rory Donnelly - 2017 Luke Norris - 2016 Brennan Dickenson - 2016 That's a lot of players out of contract at the end of the year. Who would you keep if we stay in League 1? Who would you keep if we go up? Who would you try and keep anyway?
Patchy It may depend on in which division we will be next season. I will dare to assume we'll get the 16 points needed to avoid relegation ! If we are in L1, then the nucleus of the defence isn't too bad. Davies needs to go - to save his career ! In midfield I wouldn't cry if Morris and Loft are released - but if we 'lose' Dack it will leave us 'lightweight' in that department. ( for his sake Dack needs to go if we don't achieve promotion ). McGlashan, on current form (and usage), wouldn't be missed. I don't know enough about List to make a judgement. Osadebe has been injured - but probably deserves to be retained. Up front I wouldn't be totally upset to see Norris and Dickenson go - but I expect Norris to be retained. - shame that Williamson has a contract until 2017 - but nothing to stop him from being 'released.' ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However - IF we get into the Championship we'll need to bring in better players, otherwise we'll be in L1 again in 2017/18 I wouldn't be too sure about the capability of a number of players to step up a division - including all the strikers
