    I'd say another centre half too.

    And we've a number of players to move out. O'Connor, Akpan, Riley, McCartan, Gibson, Patrick, Wood..... How many of those does Bowyer trust to play a meaningful part of his squad this season....? not may, I'd wager.

    Wood? I can't see him leaving and would be happy enough if he stayed. Won't be on a fortune and decent enough back up at this level.
    I'd add Scannell to your list of players to move out if possible too.

    With Riley have no impact since GB arrived it's almost inevitable that he'll go. O'Connor could be a squad player dependent on his wage, McCartan could stay after helping Lincoln up last season. Wood I think has a future here but mainly as a squad player. Gibson and Patrick - one will go unless GB thinks he can develop them. I'm still not convinced.

    I expect departures but would want other players in first

    Probably need players to leave before they come in.

    You say inevitable but he's on big wages and (being polite), is not very good so despite the rumour of Salford possibly being interested, I'm not sure who'd take him.
    I don't want to see O'Connor anywhere near the squad for the simple reason that I think he is a divisive character who could seriously disrupt the positive changes Bowyer is trying to make.
    McCarten I would only want to stay if he genuinely wants to be here and I'm not convinced that he does.
    I agree with you about Wood and can see both Gibson and Patrick either leaving or going out on loan.

    how much would it free up getting shut of O'Connor, Akpan and Riley? Only O'Connor not had any interest in him whispered. Loans for Gibson and Patrick seem like a decent call, possibly Wood too. No idea what might happen with McCartan. But if those first 3 players do go, it should free a decent wedge up.

    Oh yes I agree with you, inevitable was probably the wrong word. With him not being involved you would have thought he had no future but like you say wages will be a probably when trying to move him on.

    I hope and expect that Connor Wood will stay. He looked a decent prospect to me. He has pace, was keen to get forward and appeared to be trying, which is more than can be said for several others. Useful cover for left back and left side midfield.

    I think whether he goes or not will be down to the measure of him. If he sees himself as having a future in the game, I presume he will want to be playing regular games next season to push on, and that might mean taking a hit in his pocket in order to go to a club that will guarantee him game time. Alternatively, he might decide to stay here and sit his contract out, earning thousands in the process for doing nothing yes, but probably resulting in his career as a professional footballer coming to an end next summer when his contract ends.

    I quite like him and I'll give you that he could provide left sided midfield cover and his effort cannot be faulted........but he was a shocking left back, hence Chicksen keeping his place. His best games were definitely when he played left mid.

    Agreed. His best games were at LM. But he's young and has scope for defensive improvement

    Wood and Henley will be more than suffice as back up left backs.

    McCartan is probably one of a select few in the squad that we could command a fee for...I say sell him and keep Doyle if we can.

    I reckon Henley will see himself as more than back-up. Whatever though, be nice to have good competition for all positions

    I agree, I don't think he was as good as Chicksen, but he has greater potential to develop in multiple positions.

    Possibly but Mellor is Bowyers golden boy and will have that right back place nailed down...
