To not too.

Maglor

Ben Hamer
Ben Alnwick - I think he is a better all round keeper than Hamer - not much between them shot stopping - Alnwick lacks kicking of Hamer but is more effective in quick release of the ball
Richard Wood - our best CB in my opinion
Rhoys Wiggins - I would like to sign him for 2/3 years
Cedric Evina - needs to be given a proper chance
Johnnie Jackson - worth another year - showed his worth yet again at Ipswich
Dale Stephens - improved massively in the last two months
Yann Kermorgant - still a lot to offer - no sign of slowing - 1 year
Michael Smith - Jury out - good loan spell in league two - need to see what he can do at this level

Isn't Dillion Phillips, Kevin Feely, Morgan Fox, Kadell Daniel, Danny Hollands, Bradley Jordan, Harry Gerard, Oliver Muldoon, Ade Azzez & Tobi Sho-Silva out of contract as well?

Stig

Impossible to say without knowing who's coming in. If no-one comes in, then there's hardly a player there I wouldn't give a contract to. Though Hughes and Gower might have to be on play as you play.
With the right replacements, no-one on that list is indispensable.

The Red Robin

All of them except Gower and Green.

We definitely need a new CB and Cook has to go.

cafckev

I honestly can believe that some people would not give Wood a contract! He has been our standout defender this season even with the few games he has played this season.

Oops, pay as you play.

God that list puts it into perspective

Ben Hamer Yes

Ben Alnwick Yes

Michael Morrison Yes

Dorian Dervite Yes

Leon Cort No (reluctantly because I like him but mid thirties and long term injuries don't mix).

Richard Wood Yes

Rhoys Wiggins Yes

Cedric Evina Jury out. Depends on other full backs and wing backs coming through.


Danny Green No

Mark Gower No

Johnnie Jackson Yes

Bradley Pritchard Yes

Andy Hughes No

Dale Stephens Depends which Dale is up for offer. Yes to the one who plays alongside Cousins.

Jordan Cook No

Yann Kermorgant Yes

Michael Smith Jury out. Depends on other strikers coming through although his physical presence in what is largely a physically small squad is a plus.

To be kept (including players already signed up)

Ben Hamer
Ben Alnwick
Chris Solly
Lawrie Wilson
Michael Morrison
Dorian Dervite
Rhoys Wiggins
Jordan Cousins
Johnnie Jackson
Dale Stephens
Callum Harriott
Joe Piggott
Yann Kermorgant
Michael Smith
Simon Church

Add a right back, 2 centre backs, a left back, a right winger, a central midfielder, a left midfielder and a striker.

8 players in (half on loan, a couple of frees and a couple of small fees) and a few youngsters stepping up and we will have an ok squad

I like your thinking!
I would add Evina, Wood and Fox to that list - Fox as a younster stepping up? And look to Standard Liege loans and a few decent signings - suddenly we are a top 8 team challenging for the top 6!
Given the potential for a crack at the play offs it makes no sense to scrimp on the signings - especially when it comes to key positions which need strengthening in the squad.

boggzy

Wood is the best of a bunch of pretty poor centre-backs. How Dervite was preferred over Taylor I'll never know.
