I think our team has been a little disorganised towards the end of this season.
Kay has actually matured and hopefully will kick on next season.
Our most expensive signing from Fleetwood needs to do better next sesson.
Farman is now one of the better goalkeepers we have had in recent years..
If Josh Gordon goes we need two decent strikers , at Least one ball winner in midfield and someone to replace Mcllellan.

In his Radio interviews a few weeks ago Wild has admitted he has been tinkering with formations with one eye on next season.
Ged Garner has carried an injury for a good few weeks. Get him fit a good pre season behind him I'm confident of seeing a better version of Garner next season.
Feely can replace Mclleland for me. After all he was signed as a centre half who can cover at right back.
Warren just might develop into a better right wing back than an orthodox fullback a position he has struggled in this season.

Retained/released list now out , gutted about Brough leaving, but at least we expected it.

Scott Moloney

Solomon Nwabuokei

Benni Smales-Braithwaite

Pawel Zuk

Both Benni Smales-Braithwaite and Pawel Zuk have been invited back for pre-season.

Stockton too

Good to see Zuk and Benni invited back to pre-season and wouldn't be at all surprised if one or both are signed on 1 year deals again as Pete's "projects"

The list:

No mention of White so I presume he has signed a new deal?

White signed a 2yr deal at the end of last season so still has a year to run

Brough was as expected and he has got to do what's best for him always gave 100% so wish him all the best.

Josh Gordon and Kay will hopefully sign new contracts

Need to start rebuilding asap

So to complete the list.. who are still under contract ?
