A grim place itself but always enjoy a Manchester day out

And get a reduced ticket allocation at their place in retaliation? No thanks

We should avoid limiting away numbers at our place unless absolutely necessary to be honest, as it comes back to bite us for our away games, like Walsall

Bailey Hobson - Quite like him but not quite at the right level, hope to see him do well elsewhere and it’s shame he couldn’t go back to Barnet earlier this year

Darren Oldaker - Another one I quite like and would be alright as a back up player but reckon he’ll move elsewhere for regular game time

Ryan Colclough - Personally would keep as I am big fan of him when he gets going, think he might leave though

Jamie Grimes - great servant to the club and a top pro but probably would not keep as he deserves to be a regular starter at a NL club / lower L2 side

Tyrone Williams - always thought he was a good squad player for us but unfortunately had that terrible injury so not sure we’ll see him in a town shirt again

Mike Jones - again probably the end of his playing career for us but would like to keep him as a coach as he is a top professional

Ryan Boot (GK) - keep, been very good the last third of the season, bring in another keeper to challenge to be the 1st choice as Thompson was not suitable this year unfortunately

Ollie Banks - great servant and would offer another year as a squad player, can see him going elsewhere though

Ash Palmer - played himself into another year contract for me personally, even if it’s as a squad player/back up

Michael Jacobs - would not renew as he is getting on and not pulled up any trees recently, unfairly maligned at times though personally as he’s not a bad player

Kane Drummond - release, not good enough for this level at all and doubt his recent off the field antics would do him any favours

Connor Cook - keep I suppose, makes up the numbers and don’t think he has an impact on finances too much

Lewis Gordon (+ an option) - would give him another year as a back up left back / squad player, very good defender but frustrating at times going forward as he opts for the safe (sideways/backwards) pass

Vontae Daley-Campbell (+ an option) - wouldn’t renew, hardly played

Liam Jessop - quite like him but not sure if he’ll make it at this level, maybe another year out on loan to see

Ashton Rinaldo (GK) - not seen enough of him to comment, maybe another year ?

Ali Mohiuddin - as above

John Fleck - one more year as a squad player as long as wages aren’t too much, played himself into another season with recent games but wasn’t great in the play offs to be honest

Janoi Donacien - 50/50, good player but made of glass

Kyle McFadzean - possibly one more year, good experience professional but age is a big concern though
