Clare
Inniss

Thank you.
Clare is a maybe because of the positions he can (badly) cover.
All fringe players ideally though, none should be automatic starters
Henry maybe has to go to League Two on a loan deal
Naturally all depends on the state of the club in the summer... Sandgaard couldnt be trusted to replace Washington and Purrington properly, wouldnt trust him to replace any of the above either
Of course, ideally Clare would be a back up/squad player and we'd replace the rest with better players, sadly the reality is that we'll likely release some of those above and replace them with other knackered freebies.
Get rid of the rest and all the ones we have out on loan if possible
It won’t happen though
At 23 Morgan needs to move on and get regular football.
Not see enough of Henry to properly judge but if he was that good he’d likely have had a run in the team by now. He’s 20 this year so running out of time to break through.
I expect the rest to be released other than Inniss, will probably be kept on as a cheap squad player.
Clare - no
majority owner, we won't to better. Anyone else owns us and it's bye
Inniss is on really low wages isn't he? Probably be stuck with him for the rest his career.
However, if I had to choose I’d say Inniss, Hector and Clare from your list. But need to see more of Hector to be sure.
Henry keep for another year but send him on loan hopefully to L2 level to see if he can progress. He's not L1 level at the moment but too early to judge. Needs a full season of regular first team football.
If we lost all the players on the list I wouldn't be lose any sleep.
Henry needs a season of first team football, and is in danger of having the same stop start career as Morgan. He wouldn't sign a 1 year deal with us to go out on loan, it would either have to be a longer deal or presumably he'd leave.
I'd keep Clare and Morgan as well, as squad players.
