According to SofaScore(Who cover the NL for stats) these are the contract status of our Current Squad
Joe McDonnell, Tommy Scott, Luke Croll, Oscar Rutherford, Corey Panter, Ludwig Francillette, Sol Nwabuokei, Nigel Atangana, Enzio Boldewijn, Chris Maguire(Although I'm fairly sure this is wrong) and Aidan Barlow's Contracts are expiring at the end of the season.
With Paul McCallum, Scott Quigley, Jake Taylor, Ryan Clampin, Lee Hodson, Brennan Camp and Aaron Martin's contract due to expire after next season
Loans will go back to their clubs and there is no word on Ben Reeves Contract.
Looking at this who do you feel will be back next season, who deserves to be and who should we bin?
IMO most of the squad should be gone, Bar the front 3 and Enzio the performance's this season have been lackluster. Rest of the team has let the attack down really. We have Scored the 6th most goals yet conceded the 2nd most that shows me what the problem is Would love to hear some thoughts

I've advocated since the start of the season, say 5 games in that the team lacks pace and energy and this has been evident and is now costing us dear.
From the above i'd definitely keep McDonnell (we'd be mad to let Joe go), Francillette and Rutherford.
Maguire only if there's new fresh legs around him to do the running, Enzio the jury's out but to be fair he's continually been played out of position and Atangana has been ok but we could do with a similar player 5 years younger.
Hopefully Camp recovers fully and is available for a full season as we've missed him at RB and as a cover CH. I'd bin Hodson and Martin and i'd pay for a taxi to take Taylor away as he offers absolutely nothing.
Obviously McCallum and Quigley are staying unless sold and Clampin is also under contract.
We need some youth and energy in the team and a manager to implement it, after recent performances the jury's out on Davies as well.
Speaking to Alan Devonshire yesterday after the game the one phrase i picked out from him was "i've got a young side" - which in my book translates to they'll have pace, energy and enthusiasm until the final whistle!

Corey Panter hasn`t been given enough time, even though he is left footed and a strong player. Jake Taylor should be gone at the end of the season, absolutely useless. Scott Quigley is ineffective without McCallum, and spends too much time diving and moaning to the officials, and for that he should be replaced.Luke Croll l haven`t seen enough of him l don`t know what his position is. Aaron Martin seems to play so rarely is he worth keeping at all ? Most of the guys around me thought in the second half we reverted back to 5 across the back, it really looked like it, and probably explains why we conceded 3 in the second half, that was RH all over it, a very bad move by KD. In conclusion we need a better manager l can`t imagine KD will be given the job, and just remember those who went to Oxford are well aware that game could have been 5.4, not so commanding eh ?

I'd agree we are soooo old as a team and lack pace. Last season we have Camp and Vinnie bombing it down the wing often with Carter and Hill or JJ there as well made us dangerous on the the counter, leading to quite a few 1-0 wins. This year we have none of that at all

This year we have none of that at all We've consciously made a choice to get rid of virtually all of our pace and up our average age by about 5 years, spending more in the process 🤦♂️

When we didn't have so much money we had to invest in young hungry players. When we have money we spend it on experienced ex-pros. It's what we did ten years ago, too. But it worked then.
The game has moved on since that time. More players in this league are full-time and have to fitter and more mobile, as well as having football nous.
