So that gives us a squad of 20 to start with.
We clearly need a first choice keeper (not Ward) Definitely another CH (or maybe two) A physical presence in midfield A big lump centre forward.
Which would mean a squad of 25. Obviously we can get a few players on loan, but think we would want to see some of the players under contract leave or out on a season loan.
Devine is an unknown, looked ok from reports in the limited time he was fit. Aguiar, Iandolo, Shade & Adeloye probably wouldn’t be a big loss. Hutton is the other one, I guess it depends on whether he really wants out.

It was good to get a couple of positive seasons out of Williams. A pity that we get a midfielder into double figures for goals & it's in a nothing season.
A sprinkling of know how & experience added to the squad will benefit those that are left and we'll see improved players as a result for sure.
Another vote for Brewitt as well.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

It's a nice feeling that after a retained list we could theoretically start the new season tomorrow and put out a competitive starting 11. It must've been a long time since we could last say that.
On the flip side though, we're now stuck with players that I don't think clubs will be in a hurry to sign.
Darcy, Adeloye etc.

Amazed we’ve offered Brewitt a contract, really don’t rate him.
See, I liked him. Seemed to give 100% each game. Different eyes different perspective.

Worryingly, there are only 6, maybe 7 players in contract who I actually think are good enough for a promotion challenge. I think we have a lot to do.

Need two keepers, at least one Centre Back. Another striker. Natsy DCM.
Need to look to be shifting a few of those retained who had contracts and replacing with better as well if we can.
A lot to do

It's basically the spine of the side we require. I suspect Flynn may look to recruit Kinsella and Monthe (see the other thread) which would be a decent start. He may also want Labadie who I think is the nasty DCM you mentioned.

Curious as to the difference between offering Brewitt a contract and triggering an extension with McEachran...?

Perhaps different terms to those we’d have to include with an extension?

McEachran's contract included an option for the club to extend for another season, Brewitt's didn't.

We were told Brewitt triggered something if he played X games

Only real surprise in that - is that Brewitt has been offered a new contract rather than having an extension triggered as was expected.
Austin has signed for another year. Williams not signing. Glad that’s been sorted early doors rather than dragging on like Jack Payne last year.
Think the limbs are there. Players will be better for having a season under their belt (a first in men’s football for some) and *hopefully* better for having a *fingers crossed* decent manager rather than Lindsey and the useless midget.
Everyone deserves a clean slate under the new manager.
We absolutely definitely need a new spine. Keeper, experienced CB, nasty DCM and probably a target man ST.
Think we’d be infinitely better signing the 4 players above and having Flynn in charge.

Two more years, he signed for three last summer.
