Quick browse shows only 5 players under contract

Dixon
Rose
Kelly
Cardwell
Hooper

Unfortunately I wouldn't keep any, maybe Hooper at a push as an option from the bench.
So I assume them 5 will be here next season.

Keepers:
Keep McKeown and Killip IMO

Defenders:
Not sure on Collins, he will be 38 in August
Davies will be 37 in May
Would be tempted to keep Hall-Johnson, Only 22
Keep Mills & Fox

Rest of the defenders can leave

Midfielders:
Keep Summerfield, I think he will benefit with a better CM alongside him
No idea what is happening with Dembele's contract...
Give Mcsheffrey another year? experience and set pieces
Give Wright & Clifton another year, think they will benefit having Jolley as a manager

Attackers:
Hooper & Cardwell under contract, rest can leave

In other words, Jolley should thank the players for the effort they have given since he joined, but majority just aren't good enough

Quoted from Mighty_Mariner
I actually think there a player somewhere in Sam Kelly. He reminds me of a Paddy McLaughlin type-player. Good technically but struggles with the pace and physicality of the game. In the right system with the right balance of players around him I think he could be an asset.


I agree, he looks much better when playing in the middle, but lost out on the wings.

I'd keep Collins, if we do stay up there's a huge debt to the guy for keeping things together at the back. No doubt that age is catching up with him but I feel with a calmer setup around him, and a forward line doing their job properly would see him through another season, I also wonder how he's set up for going into coaching as he looks to read the game exceptionally well.
Would like to see some sort of BP 'boot room' begin under MJ.

I agree about Collins, might only be used as experienced cover, but I think he had shown he actually cares about the club, personally I would show Wilkinson the door because he has been a massive disappointment coaching wise and offer Collins a player/assistant manager role, whether he has coaching Qualifications  or not.

God it's been a sh1t season hasn't it. What on earth was slade thinking getting some of that gash in. And I've only seen them play a handful of times!

Macca needs to be kept on. Very much in the same way that Pearson and Disley needed to be retained.

Are any of the players working towards their 'badges' that are worth keeping??

What I do expect though, is a higher quality player brought in, and hopefully, the earlier the better. Let's not spend yet another pre-season waiting to get everyone's castoff's because our one and only target has decided against joining

Collins as player-assistant manager/coach, really??

What's the obsession with any half decent player we have here coming to the end of his career that we feel obliged to make them part of the backroom staff?  For all we know he's no desire to remain in the game in a coaching capacity, nor the skills to do so successfully.  

Let Jolley bring in his own coaching staff who he knows have the skill-set for what he wants to deliver.
