    Holmes, Bialkowski, Butterfield, Jaidi, Connolly, Harlee Dean, Ryan Doble, Aaran Racine, Jack Savile and I think Isgrove, Hoskins, Robinson & Dovey all signed 1-year pro deals last year but I'm not certain on that

    That list just shows how good Nicola has been at tying down our best players. I don't think any on that list would be a disaster if we lost them.

    Jaidi and Butterfield can be replaced easily, but I think we should keep our youngsters.

    Out of that whole list Hoskins is the only one I would keep, but then I'm not sure how good the other young ones are like

    About to make some massive assumptions purely for the discussion of who should stay and who should go. Assuming Richardson is our 1st choice RB in the PL, then would we get someone better then Butterfield as a back up? I would give him a 1 year contract extension. Knowing pretty much sweet FA about the youth team is there a promising RB coming through?
    I would give Connolly another year extension, or pay as you play deal. His age and proneness to injuries are against him, but I think he has the experience and quality to be used as an impact sub.
    I would let Holmes go, I think that he could be a good Championship player given a long stint in a team, but injuries and other players are ahead of him already and it is an area we are still likely to strengthen.
    Give Bart a 2 yr deal.
    Jaidi is retiring at the end of the season.
    And i don't know enough about the youngsters to have any comments on them.

    Jack Stephens is a very promising RB coming through, Hoskins we should keep definetely, jury is out for the others
