So going forward, I'd be looking at keeping ( obvs some have contracts)
Boot - prop as No2
Dobra - contracted
Duffy - contracted
MacFadzen - 1 year
Sparks - try to buy
Mandeville - contracted but Mr Versatile
Metcalfe - loan - will keep getting better
Pepple - loan/buy - he's a beast different option up top

Undecided on
Banks - loverly player with good vision of passes but prob not happy being bit part
Fleck - had a bit of a mare and has to have an unbelievable run til end of season to gain contract. A risk signing him up
Grigg - always in the goals but had long spells out with injury, is he a risk??

Off the top of my head are not Grigg, Naylor, Madden & Sheckleford contracted beyond the end of this season?

I tend to agree that Pepple might be a useful signing. He is the right age and has a lot to learn but might be our Quigley replacement.

If Metcalfe does not get better he will be playing in lower league football. However, Cook seems to like what he sees in him so if he is still young enough to not impact on our 22 then maybe worth another chance.

If Gordon returns to his pre-injury form I would take up the option to extend his contract too.

I agree about Boot too. As I have said in previous posts he is a good No2.

[danblue]

Not sure about the 4 being in contract, but I'd be looking to move then on and undecided on Grigg.

Happy with all of those. Hopefully Chey Dunkley can make a return at some stage as he looked a real classy operator. I wouldn?t offer McFadzean a deal. Too old and his injury is a worry.

Not sure we know enough about his injury either way. Over recent years injuries dont appear to have been an issue for him and he looked very good in his appearances for us to potentially warrant another year.

Shecks the only one in here I think I'd move on from those in contract.

The rest look like a very solid foundation to build on.

What makes a player too old?

Guessing he?d turn down Ronaldo or Messi as they are too old then.

[Osborne again]

If Macfadzean comes back ok from his injury, then I'm pretty sure that Paul Cook will offer him another deal. He is far superior to anyone we have at centre back, and that includes Chey Dunkley.

He?s 38, turning 39 during next season and is out injured. For me, that is too old to be offering a new deal to.

What happens if he comes back in, say, two weeks, and he's absolutely colossal for the rest of the season and we don't concede any goals in the game he plays in?

What about when he?s not injured? A fully fit KM walks into pretty much every team at L2. Age is such a myth nowadays when it comes to footballers.

He didn?t look too old to me in those games he played. Looked class. Then got a kick on the knee. If he?s fit then I?d be offering him a year. We looked more organised with him in the back line.

Exactly how I saw it,his organisational skills in that short time were obvious and cannot be under estimated.

[spireitetoo]

Ashley young is 39 and still playing premier league regularly...

I'm sure Fadz can manage a year in League 2 next season.. his quality and organisational skills were clear to see
