I think Broadhead has another year
Some interesting decisions ahead. Of the lot, the one I'd be keenest to resign would be O'Shea, whilst I'd be surprised if Hazel, Brown, Devitt and Togwell were offered deals. The others would depend on other considerations, fitness, availability of other options, budget etc. Apart from Hazel, they've all played their part in a successful season and none have really let us down. I'll be happy as long as any players released are replaced by payers who improve the squad.

O'Shea as well, I think they are both L1 quality
Smith? Who knows what's going on there, if it was the player of previous seasons, yes. But, no if you look at this season.
Togwell - he did well last season but frankly, we now have better so release.
Richards - it's not quite worked out, better for both parties for him to move on.
The others ? Low wages I suspect, may be tempted to see if they will progress over another season
Humphreys - looks like already been decided but offer a contract plus coaching role

I'd think definates to go, would be Togwell, Richards, Brown & Devitt.....not sure about Smith....Hird would be worth it on a cheaper contract...got to keep O'Shea...Broadhead will sign, as he is very highly thought of...has Hazel done enough!?

Not necessarily we could make up the numbers with youth team players and trailists, as winning such games is not the objective

I'd possibly offer Hird another year but you can be certain any offer would be on reduced terms & would be unlikely to be signed.
This is the point, people are going through the list saying "keep" but all we can do is offer players news deals, doesn't mean they'll stay.
Anyone like Hird/Togwell who have had limited time will surely be looking for forst team football, especially IF we were to offer them reduced terms.
O'Shea is an intertesing one, PC obviously rates him highly, yet presumably James is as annoyed as a lot of fans are at his constant sub'ing. Given his inability to stamp his name on a regular starting place (or regular position for that matter). Maybe he'll decide its time to move on, even if we offer him a new deal?
Gonna be an interesting summer, and i can the starting XI come August having 5/6 new faces in it.

Smith - Far too injury prone. Great talent but made of glass...No contract
Hird - can cover numerous positions comfortably, would make a useful squad player...1 year deal
Togwell - great attitude and decent defensive midfielder, obviously not in Cook's plans...No contract
O'Shea - creativity + goals in the final 3rd...Absolutely must give him another year
Richards - Hasn't worked out for him here. Whilst I admire a lot of what he does, he's far too inconsistent for me (suppose this isn't helped by not having a run in the side) ...No contract
Devitt - Can't really comment due to his very few appearances for us but from what I have seen, nothing to get too excited about really, yet I would have liked to have seen him get more of a chance. No contract
Brown - solid performances when called upon, also not really given a good run in the side. Cook obviously isn't a fan...No contract
Humphreys - experienced pro with valuable knowledge of the lower divisions. Can still put a shift in but certainly wouldn't be in a L1 starting XI. Possibly a 1 year deal in a player-coach role would be appropriate?
