I think by my opinion there is lot that will be heading for the exit door in the summer.

I think expiring contracts are; Wright, Chambers, Wilson, Nsiala, Donacien, Ward, Skuse, Huws, Dozzell, Bishop, Nydam, Judge, El Mizouni, Edwards, Sears, Jackson, Drinan

I understand some of them have options

Dozzell/Bishop/Edwards/El Mizouni/Drinan - only ones I'd be looking to renegotiate there.

EDIT: Chambers and Ward - should have been added.

It's going to depend largely on which division we're in next season. If we're looking at the Championship, no salary cap and a new sense of excitement off the back of promotion and pent up demand to watch some footie at Portman Road we could well be more forthcoming with contracts for the likes of Chambers, Nydam, Edwards etc. Salary cap is going to play a big role in it all if we're still in L1. We'll need to make some tough decisions. The only ones I'm particularly keen to keep are Dozzell, Jackson and Bishop, to be honest.

Ward, Skuse & Chambers aren't getting any younger, Nydam has never fulfilled his early potential, and I wouldn't lose sleep over any of the others.

So you wouldn't extend Chambers? ridiculous if you ask me.


Apologises, should have added Chambers/Ward to the list. Don't know why I didn't.

First and foremost I would go and get Eoghan O'Connell from Rochdale as a priorty when his deal expires in the summer. Been impressed with him on occassions we have played them.

Ward, Kenlock, O'Connell, Woolfenden, Chambers, Ndaba, KVY are good defensive options.

Oh and by the way, I wasn't asking you

Nydam has been particularly unlucky with Hurst and then injury.

Prior to that he was looking better than Downes. We need to see him back to fitness anyway but I think it would be madness to think about getting rid before he’s even had a chance to re-establish himself.

Salary Cap will be huge if we don't go up.

Bishop and Dozzell where funds would go if had to. Can't imagine El Miz or Nydam collecting big dough yet.

If we had to let the likes of Chambers/Ward to go to fund keeping the youth I wouldn't lose any sleep.

McGavin should be given the chance but Lambert will get Nolen and Judge into the midfield.
Going forward I would tweak the formation into a 4231 with Andre and McGavin as the 2 Edwards Bishop Lankester the 3 behind Norwood if fit

I like that you're working on the assumption we're still going to be stuck in League 1. And to think you were backing Lambert until relatively recently.

It's not "where we belong" at all.

Given that won't happen, what's your midfield for Shrewsbury?


I believe in playing the players to fit the system so


McGavin Huws Bishop


Huws is not on form but nowhere near as bad as people have made him out this season but importantly adds size to the midfield.

For me it's McGavin, Nolan and probably Lankester, based on his goal threat. Could use Judge instead for a bit more experience.

Brain fart - must have assumed Bishop was injured.

Of course we do, we were one of the worst Championship teams in 18/19 after the Hurst reign of horror, which set this club back many year.

We finished 11th in League 1 last year and looked pretty average over the course of the season.

Explain to me how we don't belong here.

Hurst ruined us that summer, and Lambert could do very little, naive to think otherwise. We had a great start last year and fell away after Xmas, and seriously fell away which is when my eyebrows were raised.

BUT I liked what he did in the summer, and I remain hopeful that it will and still could by the way. We've had another good start to the season. Next 8 the litmus test for me.

I don't know why it is 'bizarre' that I have a different opinion to you, it is very much allowed. Although most on here know your approach when someone does differ in opinion unfortunately.

It is bizarre that after 2 years here he has failed in the ultimate way both time. Relegated in last place without any fight at all was 0/10. Managing to finish 11th in this division with our resources was beyond worst case comprehension at best he is 1/10. This season we are still far from conniving probably around 5/10


How cannyou still not be sure? If we finish 10th will you still need another season? Perhaps 7th will show plenty of progress

Is your jury still out on keane or Jewell as well? They didn't have as long for you to decide


It is a nonsense the bloke is a fraud and destroying this club at a time where the salary cap threatens our future

Championship performance isn't really relevant, it's a much better league. Rotherham went down with fewer points a couple of years before us and went straight back up. It's unusual for relegated sides not to challenge at the top end these days. And we managed to keep our sqaud together and actually add to it.

We finished 11th because we have a clueless clown for a manager. This squad ought to have been top 6 as a bare minimum, really should have been top 2. And that's not because we're particularly amazing, it's because this leave is dross. Wycombe got out of it with a bunch pub players through being organised, ffs.

It's bizarre you've kept faith with Lambert for so long. He's done a terrible job here but you've continued to cheerlead for him up until the last few weeks. He's not shown anything different in these last few weeks though, it's all been there to see for a year or so now. That's why I find it bizarre you've now changed your tune somewhat.

Why is it bizarre for someone to change their opinion, I don't understand that point of view.

Listen I'm still along long way away from throwing full tantrums like yourself or Bluefish, but I wouldn’t be upset should Lambert leave tomorrow.

But the reality is, he won't be sacked sitting 3rd in the league, it's not going to happen. He's earnt himself at least the next 8 games.

Doncaster and Lincoln were poor outtings, Sunderland much much better, but as I said the next 8 are the biggest in Lamberts time here, and will give us a measuring stick as to where we are.

Just relax a little, it's normal for people to have different opinions, and it's perfectly ok, and certainly not 'bizarre'.
