with unfortunately the ones we want to keep like Williams and Austin likely leaving of their own accord, realistically. |

I think so. Question for the floor - I really don't follow other clubs that closely. Is this now becoming the norm at most clubs or are we suffering from teething problems? I get you get moneybags outliers who can afford to build established squads and keep them for a bit. |

I think we must be a bit of an outlier, there can’t be many clubs where come February the following season there’s on one member of last years squad left. |

Wasn't it said the start of pre-season by Sandro we was building a squad so that in the summer it would not be wholesale changes every season but to add to a squad to strengthen it. The teams that seem to do better each season I believe already have that pool of players that have been together for quite a while, then gets added to. |

We've been shuffling squads in the summer for years, ironically its only really been this season where we have stopped being very dependent on loans and actually started signing players up for more than a single season, doesn't seem to be going very well but does seem to be a marked change of tack. |

Think that decision cant be made till the summer. Only a few weeks ago everyone was certain Lindsey was the problem. Now he’s gone and we’ve lost a few under Morris the players are the problem (so was Lindsey a good manager then with a poor squad?) We are desperately lacking a no nonsense CB. A ball winning midfielder and an attacking left sided player (when all fit and healthy) Even players like Darcy & Shade, who most fans seemingly want rid of. I think have something in their locker. Not sure hauling them out to roll the dice again next season would be anymore beneficial than giving them a second season tbh. Even if we replaced them with lower league journey men. It’s still a gamble. We’ve had plenty of those types turn out to be shit. Yes our squad lacks experience but in the last 30 years we’ve had some fucking awful experienced players. |

No arguments there. But maybe the best player available is over 24. Why limit yourself (OK Austin) |

For me it's more the fringe players i mean, Players like Parsons, Aguiare Dabre are just not progressing. |

So, bit early but lots of talk of overhauls in summer. Here's who is out of contract and under contract:
Out of Contract Summer 23
Brynn (Loan), Baudry (Retiring), Harries, Minturn, Lavinier (we think), Brennan (Loan), Tomlinson (Loan), McEachran, Williams, Kadji (Loan), Austin, Massey, Jephcott (Loan), RHM, Parsons, Dabre, Cowmeadow, Brann (possibly)
2024 or Beyond
Hutton, Clayton, Devine, FBT, Iandolo, Darcy, Cain (25), Aguiar (25), Khan, Adeloye, Wakeling (26), Shade, Roberts (we think)
A few people on the wrong lists there, but there is a core of the spine of the team contracted beyond this summer at least.

One of our biggest mistakes in regards to experienced CB's was extending Baudry's contract last year. He had a few good games at the end of the year, but had missed large parts due to injury.
Is he even near the dressing room with his experience or is he just translating at Bournemouth?!

I'm confused why Tomlinson was brought in, he is injured and by the seems of it judging by todays presser a distance away from full training, then he has to get fit, how many games will he get to play for us ?
Surely you only bring a player in that is for e.g. a week away from fitness, or you do a medical and determine he is a month or so away from fitness rather than take the loaning clubs word for it
You wonder if this was a panic signing with others falling though, I hope we are not paying his wages while he is injured.
I'd like to hear Sandro's take on it.
