Rumour that Will Annan could be coming. Good friend of Cardwell .
Offered a deal by dull but turned down as he wants first team.  Local and wages should be fine.

I was going to go through each player individually but others have done that already.

6 weeks ago I think most of us would have only kept a handful of the players on and said goodbye and good riddance to the rest. Such was our despair at what we were having to endure week in week out. But Jolley has squeezed so much out of the team. Players who had failed to impress or even look interested have shown something in recent weeks. Woolford, Hooper, Rose, Clarke amongst others have suddenly started to resemble professional footballers. As oftens happens a change of manager or change of scenery can have a big difference.

Jolley deserves much credit for the turnaround but its not just the new manager. Player confidence, fitness, belief as well. The last few games in particular the players have shown great character and resilience. To have kept going to the end v Chesterfield and to come back fighting after conceding late against Barnet and Notts Co....simply wouldnt have happened a few weeks back. Credit to the players.

Rather than go through the whole squad as to who we should try to keep or not I would instead say we need to get younger and more dynamic. Injection of pace throughout the team and in particular at the back required. More creativity in the middle of the park and a goal threat up front. We are crying out for a finisher (or two). Changes are required and some may be enforced. But maybe not to the extent i would have said 6 weeks ago. However you need to judge players of the season as a whole. Whilst many have  showed great improvement a handful of decent performances over a season is not enough.

We'll be lucky under this present regime if we get  Will.i.am

Can't do the linky thingy but   annan sounds an interesting lad.there's a profile of him when he was part of the under 18 team.attacking creative midfielder who's an intelligent character.sounds like hed tick some of the boxes for a jolle y  type player.
The other thing that hasn't been mentioned is that there's sure to be some improvement under the present set of players once jolle y has had them for a whole pre season. Seems pretty clear from the interviews with Clarke and rose that they weren't working terribly hard under slade and part of the improvement under jolle y has been better fitness levels

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Charlie Vernam on a season long loan at Town next season, MJ seemed to speak highly of him.

Jolley said in an interview recently that Adkins had been really supportive since he got the job and that they'd spoken regularly so wouldn't be surprised if there was some movement in from them at some point.

From a family member(mine not his) in Hull. They know some of his family/friends and he would be up for it as local.
Not sure how good he is at all but well thought of at Hull but not making progress to the first team due to bringing in, thats the nature now, all the youth dont get chances as they bring in ready made.

I like Adkins he’s very up front, engaging and knows his stuff looking at his record of success he’d be a good mentor for MJ, if they’ve got any more they’d like to loan us at the level of Connor Townsend we should bite their hands off.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the “Targers” are competitive next season despite all the off field stuff.
