Joel Dixon - has few fans but still need a decent 2nd choice - Release

MJ Williams - Versatile but we need better  - Release

Kieran Lee - love him but too injury prone this season - Release

Josh Sheehan  - shown flashes of quality but not a Champ player,  can do a job at this level - New contract

George Thomason  - Evatt likes him but he's not in the starting line up - Keep on the hope he gets better.

Lloyd Isgrove -  great servant but time to move on. - Release

Elias Kachunga - I like him (ducks) but when we signed him we had to wait for him to lower his wage demands so expensive.  New contract on less money.

Jon Dadi Bodvarsson - when fit he gives us another dimension - New contract.

 

That frees up 4 places plus the returning loans.  10 news players needed on the assumption that Sads is going to be moved on.

Randell seems to be becoming the new Kachunga on Twitter especially. Because his first couple of games were poor, people have got it into their heads that Declan John is streets ahead of him, which really isn’t the case. They’re both decent without being amazing.

John seems to be a bit of a moody bugger though, maybe Randell has got a better attitude 

I'd say based on what we've seen ability wise John is a quite a bit better than Randall 

But agree that Randall presumably has a better attitude 

Delighted we've offered Bod a new contract.

Thought that he was a miles better header of the ball than that lad we got from City Mbete.

Forgot all about Mbete. He'll be one of them Burnden Aces wishes happy birthday to in about 4 years and it'll feel like a made up player.

Sure we signed him just thinking "It'll be like Bradley, but on the left" 😂

Its been a year of wierd signings, and loss of players transferred out, arguably.  Some good, but a poor overall ratio compared to those in the other column.

Very sad to see Keirnan Li not retained but understandable given his injury prone nature and age. Liam Mbete had a great debut at Pboro and I really thought we were onto something but he’s lacking confidence which is a shame. Ishgrove leaving hardly a surprise no room for sentiment. 
 

any ideas on next year scapegoat now Kachunger has left?

Thomason is in with a shout.

It’s a close run thing. In no particular order I’m going, Thomason, Randel, MJ, Victor and the new keeper. 

Thomason had a bad game at Barnsley, but will be a useful squad player with the very odd appearance.

Not going to play enough I don't think. Got to be Randell.

No scapegoats

just opinions but you can’t say anything remotely negative

All banter mate.

I’m going to get in there first on the new keeper;

- He’s no Trafford 

- Doesn’t do anything spectacular. 

- It’s Evatt’s blindspot 

- Why have we gone for another youngster 

- What is Gilkes actually doing with these keepers

- Surely we should have just developed Hutchinson/Litherland

Quite an achievement how you managed to get every player’s name wrong in that statement.. 

Made me proper chuckle 😂

It will have been fully intentional 

Surprised we’ve not heard about JDB, after Sheehans was sorted out pretty quickly. Only guessing, but I’m imagining a shorter (justifiably with his injury record) contract is on the table and he’s possibly weighing up other options?

I'd love to know how the two offers compare - length/pay/incentives/clauses etc.  Impossible to judge without knowing the facts, relative to what other players are on, what he was previously paid etc.

Fingers crossed he signs.

Hes probably back in Iceland for his holiday. Nothing to see here yet
