Out of contract players - updated guess on what will happen.... on 22:01 - May 3 with 1897 views | ArnieM | I think Edwards is being such a tit because he’s got an offer somewhere else ..... won’t miss him . He can’t tackle Can’t keep possession Defends poorly when tracking back Can’t cross the ball for toffees ‘Nuff said .... cheerio 👋 [Post edited 3 May 2021 22:02]

Out of contract players - updated guess on what will happen.... on 22:06 - May 3 with 1868 views | Horsham | Seems to make sense. Any idea if PC is targeting an 18 man squad? Is it still a limit of 20 over 21s? If it’s a yes to those then I guess his 18 would ideally be 2 keepers, 3 full backs, 3 centre backs, 3 central kids, 5 attacking midfielders/wingers and 2 strikers: So including the already contracted. Keepers - Holy and Cornell (neither good enough to be #1 - one out and a new one in) 1 signing needed Fullbacks - KVY and Kenny which leaves us one short and given KVY can play better both sides and also has a pretty horrendous injury record here, we need a bloody good right back to come in. Still think trusting Kenlock is a bit of stretch. 1 maybe 2 signings needed. Centre Backs - Woolfie and Ndaba. Like Kenlock it seems a leap of faith to trust Ndaba however good he’s been at Ayr. Pretty sure he’s over 21 too. He might be in a spot of bother if we can’t trust him. 1-2 signings needed Centre Mid Downes and Dozzell (I think Nolan might be used a bit further up if it all) 1 signing needed (it’ll be Evans obvs) Attacking Midfielders/ wingers Bishop and Nolan for #10, Edwards wide. 2 wingers needed (they’ll need to be very good - no idea who though) Strikers Norwood and Hawkins. Hawkins will either have to go or be squeezed in as an extra somehow. 1 bloody good signings needed (no idea who) So to summarise 1 keeper, 2 full backs, 1 centre back, 1 centre midfield, 2 wingers, 1 forward so 8 signings. Really need quality over quantity. Even with as few as 8 if I’ve counted right that makes 21 over 21s so one too many (if that is still a rule). | | | |

Out of contract players - updated guess on what will happen.... on 21:15 - May 3 by Stewart27 | No, as Joe hasn’t mentioned the 6 loanees which will obviously/hopefully be gone also. |
True, but I still think that leaves 20 odd players: Holy Cornell Woolfenden Norwood Nolan Lankester? Has he already gone? Ndaba Downes Dozzell Vincent-Young Kenlock Hawkins Dobra McGavin Baggott Simpson Crowe? or has he gone already? Smith Edwards Bishop Nydam El Mizouni Gibbs Andoh O'Reilly Healy Then you have: Crane Chirewa Siziba Armin Manly as well. I make that 20 who would expect to be in the first team squad and a few who would hope to. If we are bringing players in (which seems certain), surely we will also need to shift more of these out too. We don't want another unmanageable 35-man squad. | |

Andoh kicked on a lot in 23s and Cook has liked what he has seen of him from what I hear - think he was very close to travelling to Wigan and been converted from CB to RB and physically excellent getting up and down. Healy and O’Reilly both missed majority of this season with injury and were 3rd year scholars, think they’ll get another year as both had been highly rated previously so will get an opportunity I think - for 23s not 1st team though | |

He’s still got another year in his deal, is injured currently. I don’t see why we’d pay him up to move him on, but who knows what is happening - I’d expect him to be here personally but may be wide of the mark | |

Out of contract players - updated guess on what will happen.... on 20:15 - May 3 by J2BLUE | I like Bishop and feel for him but it's time to cut our losses IMO. He's one I could see us getting rid of and then going to the Championship and succeeding. Just can't see it happening here for him now. |
I think Bishop is an important player, and Edwards - I feel both of those players will play much better with a better team around them - however at the moment they are way short of the mark. | |

Edwards will need a good agent. He has one good game in 10 | |

Would expect Hawkins, Kenlock, McGavin and Crowe to move on even though they're under contract, and maybe it's unlikely that Edwards will stay. | | | |
Out of contract players - updated guess on what will happen.... on 06:44 - May 4 with 1451 views | PrideOfTheEast | Think that’s likely to be about right. Will be interesting to see if they bother taking the option up on Jackson given the money turned down previously. With the amount of free transfers and (presumably) a relatively illiquid market, like you, I expect they won’t bother. | | | |

Wilson would be the one I’m not sure on, presuming he is injured. Toto and Chambers not playing behind McGuinness tells you all need to know about their future | |

I actually think Chambers looked better as a right back earlier in the season than at cb recently. He didn't look too sharp at all as a cb. | |

I’m sure he is. The club has an option for another year, but it’s unclear if they’ll take it. | |

He's lost the physicality to play there unfortunately, although moving positions in a side that's a bit of a mess isn't straightforward either. | |

I think the fact that Wilson was picked up as a free agent in August after being released from then League 2 Lincoln makes me fairly confident that any of our out of contract CBs can be replaced. I can see the argument for keep any of them individually but am quite happy about a reset and there should be players available. | | | |
Out of contract players - updated guess on what will happen.... on 10:12 - May 4 with 1048 views | RobTheMonk | Edwards on the wing has generally been rubbish. I can't help but think that he'd actually be alright as a striker in the Jamie Vardy mold. Edwards shooting is actually pretty good apart from when he takes free kicks. | | | |
Out of contract players - updated guess on what will happen.... on 10:50 - May 4 with 987 views | JammyDodgerrr | Think we're keeping Toto and that's why he isn't playing him at the minute, no point risking him. Could make the same argument for Chambers. Said it a million times but zero reason to release Donacien, especially as we are confirmed League One now. Just have to spend money to replace him anyway. | |
