On a plus, we don't have too many duds in the squad. At this stage we normally see X, Y or Z has renewed their contract for 1 year.
I'm still expecting 4 or 5 to leave. Both goalkeepers, Fraser & Taylor are the main ones. I know that recent interview doesn't mention Fraser by name but Cawley then mentions him so it's a veiled statement to say a few are on notice.

Don't think Taylor will be going anywhere. My guess is that, like L Jones, he was being protected after coming back from injury and will be more involved this season
Think Taylor will stay but Aaron Henry will be the other midfielder that will go. Either back to Wealdstone or a move to Notts County under Stuart Maynard.
I approach this one with a lot of confidence. It seems just "right", in many ways. I'll look at it a bit deeper.
Like almost all other League One and Two players, I have never heard of him. But, initially, it seems as if it's going to work out. It starts with Dan. Brilliant. I get that. Great footballer's name. But then I look deeper. It's not Dan, it's Danny. Even better! I think I am going to cope with this one. Mills. Murphy. Shittu. We've had some Dans. This one is going to be a doddle. But let's look at his surname.
Man. OK, that works too. Sadio Mane used to play for Liverpool. I can cope with this. But also, "man". That's the name of two actual football teams, City and the other one. Dan the Man! I love it!
But, wait. There's more than just m-a-n. There's a d. Mandrake? Mandible? Mandelson?
An R? What the holy fuck is this? Vowel, vowel, vowel? It's like Rachel has given up and just bunged up all the letters from the right-hand box onto the screen.
Madro-ee-oo? Mandroy-oo? Mandro-aye-oo? I have no idea.
I hope we don't sign him.

I think you may be overthinking this one. ( you can substitute Over-thinking with Over drinking if thats more accurate!).

Edun and Ness too.
And maybe a few out on loan, mostly youth - at least one of Mbick or Casey, possibly both and potentially Asiimwe but he might be one on Jones "fringe players" list who has a chance of playing into contention.

Was L Jones being protected? I thought someone visiting the training ground confirmed that he was actually injured.
Re: Taylor, I feel like he just wasn't making the squads. He is a ball-playing deep midfielder who lacks physicality and it's hard to imagine him fitting into a Jones team. I guess we'll see, though.

Cawley said it somewhere, possibly on his pod which makes it hard to find!
Not transfer related but Charlie boy now CEO, anyone surprised?
Not involved with the playing side of the club ..
Thanks RM, straight from the horses mouth.
Does Methane count as a new signing and one of the 4 NJ talked about.
Having said all that and knowing how suspicious some are about his involvement, presumably because of “Sunderland Till I Die” but does it necessarily translate he will be that person or can he be different with us because of that experience?

Does he lack physicality? My memory of the descriptions of him when he signed were that he loved a tackle and liked throwing himself about the place but he could play a bit too. I also remember someone saying he was being protected because we'd rushed players back in the past to their and our detriment. I'm hopeful he'll be the backup to Coventry and we just need to focus on pushing the boat out on one more quality midfielder

Hoping there's some truth to this one:
Scored 14 goals in 56 league appearances since joining them.
Does Methane count as a new signing and one of the 4 NJ talked about.

But better late than never.
Taylor wasnt shown as injured and had played reserve games. He was training with the first team.
