    Canavan played a big part with Adams at Plymouth

    Entire new forward line needed - that will be an interesting one to follow.

    I'm struggling to see why Foulds has been kept on. The lad has barely played.

    The length of Evans’ contract is looking like a good idea now!!!
    Good luck to the new manager getting a tune out of that.

    Good news, just offering contracts to the kids and Hornby then. Foulds is an interesting one, he barely got a chance since signing in January

    Connor Wood is the only one that might do well elsewhere. Certainly the correct decision to release him but very frustrating as he has the ability but didn't kick on and desire looked a real issue this year.

    But if Wood has gone, who else do we have in that position? He's still young and probably not on massive bucks?

    Cook is a free agent so may well end up back here. It'd be as good a signing as any at this level but we'd certainly need to up the creativity and support around him if playing one up top.

    Most who have been released are either big earners or injury prone so no complaints from me. Connor Wood had no intension of staying and it showed by his performances this season.

    The only one I might have kept on out of that list was AOC but if he’s one of the higher earners then I understand why we’ve got rid. Is he the last of the Edin era signings that was on the books?

    We have zero strikers at the minute. Gonna be some overhaul this summer.

    I wonder if Derek Adams has had any input?

    Wood won’t have been offered a contract because he will already have found a new club IMO.
    Different story with AOC though who publicly said he wanted to stay.

    I think AOC and Novak will be disappointed

    I have mixed views on both of them

    My guess is we're going buy cheap buy twice again..

    Well if we're sat waiting for him and already agreed an alleged 3 year contract, I'd be amazed if he hasnt

    Not too fussed at the list of those released. The two stand out ones are obviously O'Connor & Wood who I'm sure will do well elsewhere but have been a constant during the sh*tshow of the past few years. Suspect Wood has been ready to move on for a while anyway. With O'Connor, centre back is an area where we can improve and with Canavan, Paudie, Staunton & Sikora there it makes sense for him to move on and bring one more in to try and improve that area of the squad.

    Did wonder if there might be a role for Donaldson or Novak as a back up striker but suspect they'll want games. Busy summer ahead!

    Young, cheap, can play LB and CB. No issue from me as a 'filler'. Maybe Turnbull saw something in him that T&S didnt.
