A list of the out of contract players promises a big summer. There's a lot of decent players, and a few old ones. Do we opt for a bit of a refresh, or stick with this core for another year and hope Askey can deliver?

Out of contract:

Brown, Visser

Legge, Brisley, Mills, Fitzpatrick, Crookes, Campbell-Gordon

Montano, Hurst, McKirdy, Oyeleke, Trickett-Smith, Joyce

Pope, Cullen

(Obviously with Robinson likely to be on his way too).

Our business from this window onwards has to be planned out with what we intend to do in the summer. We've been caught out by only 1, maybe 2 signing (Rodney and Fitzpatrick) making consistent positive contributions to the first 11 (out of 8).

I'm not saying we categorically make final decisions, but are both Pope and Cullen let go? Is Oyeleke given another contract? Does either Legge or Brisley get another year? Are Mills and Fitzpatrick really good enough for a team with top 7 expectations?

Right now, I'd say only Brown, Montano, Hurst, and Joyce are guaranteed a new deal. 

Based on this presupposition, a CB (ideally one with a degree of mobility) and a forward are top of the list. We won't sign the long-term solution this window, but the scouting should be going on and list of targets assembled. 

Release 12 of those for me

the priority is a replacement for Legge surely?

Hes been a good player for us, but time has caught up with him. Its more than possible that his decline has had a major impact on Nathan Smiths decline as he has to cover the mistakes, and just cant do it.

We need a centre back, a left back, a right back, a proper tough tackling defensive midfielder, a box to box midfielder, an attacking midfielder and a striker. Before any of that we need a new manager. 

Who are the 4 you are keeping Dave ?

Mine are Gibbons when fit, Worrall, Conlon and Rodney 

Rest I'm not too bothered now as we need a complete rebuild

Agree and more importantly some height and physique. We get rolled over too easy when it gets tough.
