    This should be an interesting one who do you keep and who do you ditch???
    Hornby I think for me he a goner had a taste of first team football and will want to be a number one.
    Huffer pointless signing out
    Woods out! Last year move heaven and earth to keep this year been poor played every game but for me no competition that’s why
    O’Connor keep versatile think had his best season
    Ismail out nuff said
    Pritchard keep despite injury’s think useful and a decent squad player
    Clarke out too old now
    Donaldson out same as Clarke best years behind him perhaps coaching role for the two of them
    Novak keep
    Foulds rid not good enough to break into team
    Sikora release can’t see breaking through
    Shanks same as above
    Skales keep looks a good find
    Dawson keep another reliable player who can learn from seniors

    Elliott watt if the right money comes in for him I think let him go.
    Evans I think his best years gone probably while at Pompey however they played him at right back which is area struggle with since Darby left so option there
    Staunton can’t see him getting past canavan so option play him at left back if Connor goes

    Well that’s my thought over to you guys

    I agree with most of that except Wood who I would keep and I would like to see a bit more of Foulds before deciding on him

    Why do some fans reckon we should offer Clarke and Donaldson coaching roles. Is it because one appears to love the club and has settled his family in the area, whilst the other one is a local Manningham lad.

    Enough of this sentimentality nonsense. There are no vacancies anyhow, we cannot afford to employ them as additional staff we clearly do not need

    I think we need a youth coach which is the job T&S did.

    I’d keep O’Connor think he’s been our most consistent performer but would have to be on much reduced terms.
    Novak or cook for me not both to similar.
    Keep shanks can’t be on much money and hasn’t looked outa place when started.
    Donaldson the difficult one for me as I think his experience could be vital and he’s still fit enough to play Saturday Tuesday but ability wise he’s not good enough.
    Other than that get shut!

    I’d keep Hornby, I think he’s a talented young keeper, like the way he commands his area. Canavan and Callum Cooke contracted for another year anyway.

    Well, your thoughts are that of someone who has no vision. Staunton is playing CB and should be instead of Paudie or Canavan. I like Paudie, but he's been here throughout the club's failures, but I'd keep him in the squad. Canavan is decent at this level, but he's older.

    Watt... Jesus, the lad is 20/21 years old. He has struggled this season, but to let him go, wow.

    Watt rumoured to be attracting attention Rowe proved if right money they will cash in. No way Staunton better than paudie or canavan that laughable

    Rumours... WOW. He needs to stay here, play another season or two with us, and then if he's good enough, cash in for more money than we will get now for him.

    I see that you do not seem to want to blood youngsters, which hopefully means that you are not involved with football in any capacity aside from as a supporter. Staunton will be better than both of them and is arguably at the same level as them right now. Paudie will spend his career in L2 and L1, Canavan has already dropped a league and age isn't on his side, but Staunton has a bright future, and he has shown his quality when he has played.

    Just a fan, blood youngsters for a profit yeah look at Crewe and Peterborough but then we fail Greenwood, cleverly all start in Bradford and we got nowt. If someone offers you money in league two for anyone you have to realistically think hang on a minute what can get for the money. We also be mindful just had a pandemic with no fans in ground even yesterday got rid of player liaison role. Any cost cutting or money in could be vital remember despite how big we are as fan base majority of our years been in lower leagues despite where we would believe should be.

    Bang on.
    Why keep ROD ( forget contract) and let a talented young keeper free?
    Madness if that happened!

    Keep Watt for a season or two then cash in for more than we'd get for him now? Please can you explain how that works when he will be out of contract next summer?
