Take the armband off Matty Palmer as I think it's made him play worse. He's not a captain and I think taking off of him will relieve some pressure and he actually won't mind.

I'll have a recruitment doc out soon

I pretty much agree with @ARLukomski although I’d rather keep Jatta than sell him. I just think we’ve knackered him out this season and everyone’s form has dropped back end of this season season.

Whitaker is a player I think could be excellent if he gets more time in men’s football, this spell with us was his first time playing competitive football. We are stacked with attacking midfielders though and it’s a position that needs strengthening...

Also pretty much agree with @ARLukomski

Whitaker may come good, but it may take 2 more seasons?

I would transfer list Rob McDonald though

I would transfer list Traore.... we have the ability to search around Europe for a player with the best available stats for the money...I am unconvinced.

I believe we should retain Conor Grant, while I'm uncertain about Curtis Edwards.

The rest I agree with.

I don't agree with the comments about Matt Palmer, but someone more suitable to command and organise the squad would be wise. Palmer has been decent all season, and isn't a bad captain, but he's not a strong leader. Leadership like David McGoldrick shines, but he has experience and is a strong leader. The signings we make need to add more leadership to our group.

Quality, experience and strong leadership.

I know the list has been announced but - regardless of contract - mine would be to keep:

Austin

Bass

Bedeau

Jarvis

Jatta

Jones

Macari

McDonald

McGoldrick

Ness

Palmer

Platt

Reynolds

Robertson

Whitaker

That leaves plenty of room for quality signings and gives a depth of squad we've been missing this season. I fully expect some of our contracted players to move on although I also expect players like Grant and Edwards to play far more games next season than I'd want. But 'd be delighted for them to prove me wrong!
