I've said before i cant see all of the ones out of contract going, i think some will get new contracts offered.

Same here. The idea that every one I showing to get ditched is a bit of a knee jerk reaction. Doesn't mean those staying will be regular starters though.

Also just because of the overturn and numbers involved if everyone was sacked off. Its just not feasible to try and sign that many players in one summer window.

And even if we could, theres not a chance we would be able to get them to gel until well into the next season.
Four or five good quality signings would be a good target .

Assuming we offer maybe 3/4 players another year, there is no guarantee they?ll agree to stay?

Some of the older players might be looking for the security of a 2/3 year deal and possibly more chance of playing regularly, too.

We could find ourselves needing 12-15 new players.

I believe Colclough has an automatic year due soon, I?d use the option in Gordon?s contract, offer Mandeville a deal if terms are preferable as a squad player, that?s about it. Maybe banks for another year as a squad player again if terms are preferable. I?m looking forward to the rebuild.

Mandeville already has a contract to the end of next season.

Colchester now in 7th place.

Colchester looked limited but effective. They are where they are on merit. Fair play to them.

[Fact Checker]

Well who’d have thought after Colchester that we’d be taking things to the final game.

7 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss later and the lads are on fire.

Massive well done to the boys, the bloated backroom staff and most importantly to the majority of fans who saw the bigger picture and didn’t down tools like the minority of half hearted cowards that call themselves fans.

Onto Accy.. stranger things have happened.

Love this club.

COYB!
