Honestly wouldn't be too disappointed to lose all 5.
Skuse has been decent over the years, but his form and impact dropped of a cliff last season. Wouldn't be averse to one more year though seeing as we will prob lose Downes in the Summer.
Rowe - pointless
Keane - pointless
Edwards - one good game in 10, but doesn't really offer enough
Roberts - decent effort, just not nearly up to the standard required |  |

I might be looking to begin moving Skuse into more of a player-coaching role, if that's the direction he's wanting to go in. In other words, allow him to develop the latter side, while keeping him in reserve if needed for the first team.
That is based entirely on age and levels of fitness, not anything else. If we could guarantee getting a full season at 100% of previous speed and agility from him, than that's a different matter. |  |

The only question with releasing too many people is with whom are we going to replace them?
It might be a buyer's market if lots of clubs are having to get rid of squad members for financial reasons, but we're not necessarily going to be able to pay much, either. | |

I agree. I meant to add the coaching element in there
I think we’ll need him as Downes won’t be here either | | | |

Thing is though, we've had a huge squad this season, hence the relentless rotation earlier in the season, trying keep everyone happy. Sorry, I meant keep them fresh for our promotion push..... | |

But some of those (Skuse, Keane, Edwards) were very regular members of the starting lineup. Thus bigger holes to fill than Rowe or Roberts, who I can understand being let go.
It also depends if, as others have mentioned (but I don't think it's so certain), we lose people like Downes. | |

I don't think Edwards has one good game in 10, I would think one in 20 is closer and as he had that one game in the last game played it is a long time before he is due another one. |  | | |

I wouldn’t mind seeing all released of truth be told. But would like to see Skuse be offered a coaching role.
Rowe and Edwards aren’t effective enough as wingers.
There is a winger called Nathan Thomas at Sheffield United who’s contract is up. He is someone I would be snapping up, he actually scored a beautiful goal against us two years ago in the FA Cup. | |

Say that about Roberts but he’s scored the goals they are likely to propel Gillingham above us!
Only one is probably keep us Skuse and only then as back up if he wants a coaching role. We will be very light in midfielders though especially central ones if Downes goes, We’ll also need a right back as back up for KVY as well. Luckily we have options out wide with Lankaster and Dobra. |  | | |

Skuse - Keep in some form or another. I've never been his biggest fan, but reality is our best form of the season came with him and Flynn in a 442 and we've just messed around since then.
Edwards - Keep. Versatile and has definitely done enough to earn another deal. Filled in lots of different positions this year and a good player to have around.
Rowe - Let go. Never done it for me, he's now just a block from likes of Dobra and El Miz kicking on.
Roberts - Let go. He couldn't get a look in this season when we were short of strikers, I didn't really understand that and he's done well at Gills. Clearly not favoured though and he'll want to move as well.
Keane - Not sure. I've heard his deal is linked to appearances and will be automatically triggered when he hits that number. Personally I'd keep him as think he's a class act at times, appreciate that isn't the consensus view. |  |

Keep Edwards, I don't particularly rate him as a winger or as a pure right back but I though he did a pretty decent job at wing back in KVYs absence.
Rowe, Skuse, Roberts and Keane can all go. |  |

Skuse with a view to grooming him into a coaching/managerial role primarily and emergency cover/'a good role model', Rowe on a one-year to see if he can kick on, likewise Keane, the rest can f*ck off. |  |

Keep
Skuse - player coach.
Edwards - back-up and see if we can get back some of the fee if he comes good
Keane - We may have to change our style (read manager for that) to get the best out of him.
Mag to grid (get rid)
Rowe - Not good enough
Roberts - what on earth were we thinking of! |  |

Wipe the slate clean, anyone over 23 who’s contract is up can go. |  | | |

Would definitely release all 5, I don't believe we need the size of squad we have had this season.
None of the 5 are nailed on starters for us next season and we have options to replace all within the squad currently. |  | | |

I just don’t see anyone over 23 who’s contract is up as worth renewing. Squad needs a big overhaul, however Lambert isn’t the man to do it. | | | |

If Vincent-Young's deal was up would you release him?
I don't see the need to look at it just by age, more by are they going to contribute next season for us.
For me, Edwards was a top L1 player for Posh and has shown enough here whilst being moved from pillar to post and filling in where needed. | |

Edwards looked like a top L1 player for us last season. Sadly he was playing in the Championship. These season he looks like a top L2 player. | |

Keane was improving every game - would like to see him stay.
Edwards - would probably keep but would prefer to see our emerging youth in that area take preference.
Rowe - not sure... probably not.
Roberts - no.
Skuse - probably not... slowing down and too many injuries in recent times. |  |

No mate, I thought he was around 22/23.
There’s certainly a case for keeping Edwards but I’d prefer seeing one of our promising young lads get minutes instead. | | | |

We don't have any natural wide players coming through at the moment, likes of Dobra and El Miz have played centrally always whilst Lankester very much a forward....
