Which players would you retain?

[ChrisBx]

Now that the season is over, which players would you retain irrespective of their contractual situation?

My list:
- Louis Jones;
- Reece James;
- Anderson;
- Okenabirhie;
- Lokilo;
- Taylor;
- Bostock;
- John;
- Greaves;
- Horton.

Given that we're likely to lose Reece James, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Bostock leave as well, the new manager has a great opportunity to build the squad they want.

Edit: completely forgot Anderson.

[Chris Black come back]

Of this lot, probably only Copps.

[dknward2]

Think that’s pretty much spot on would add Joe Wright as a backup

[since-1969]

list:
- Louis Jones;
- Reece James;
- Okenabirhie;
- Lokilo;
- Taylor;
- Bostock;….no
- John;
- Greaves;
-
In spite of throwing away a promotion season and it’s temping but you can’t get rid of everyone unfortunately and start a afresh with a clean sheet , SO lot depends if the clubs aim is promotion or just to build a squad of young players who are trying , but need experience , but will give you stamina and grow stronger throughout a season. Without knowing who the next manager is and what backing he will get,  its hard to see what is going to happen with even the contracted players .

Push restart..... none of the seniors have shown the desire to be considered..

[MEGA1879]

None- big clear out required!!!

[mushRTID]

I wouldn’t be sorry if we never saw most of them again.

Get rid of them all (the youngsters excluded)

[scunny rover]

Jones as a no 2
Okenberie
Lokilo
John
Greaves
Horton
Taylor
Bostock(but think he will leave)

[StocksArmy]

Wtf has Lokilo done to warrant another contract with this club?

[Bessie Red]

I wouldn't bother offering a new contract to any of the players out of contract. A fresh start for both them & the club is what's needed. All the loanees are going back. The only one I would like to see back is Smith. Try and get him back & 4 quality season long loanees then fill the squad with good experience.

[sha66y]

The burning question is:
How can any that get retained hold their heads up next season...?

They will get slated from day one....

[5minstogo]

Bostock's absence speaks volumes.

[Padge_DRFC]

Lokilo had 2 good games all season.

[mushRTID]

Can we just pay Bogle up and give the new manager his wages to play with?

I do not want that guy anywhere near this team next year.

[dickos1]

Lokilo is only a young kid and has shown promise,
He’s not one of the ones we should be shipping out

[mushRTID]

Lokilo had 2 good games all season.

Recently too when he’s approaching being out of contract. Not good enough, get him gone

[StocksArmy]

Lokilo is only a young kid and has shown promise,

You are having a laugh surely? Looked ok in 2 games!

[dknward2]

Some only remember the mistakes and decided he’s shit rather than the positive things he can and does do

[scunny rover]

2 more games than rest of the team

[dickos1]

Lokilo is only a young kid and has shown promise,
He’s not one of the ones we should be shipping out

You are having a laugh surely? Looked ok in 2 games!

He was a lot better than ok against Rochdale,

[colincramb]

If we had any choice, Anderson only and Taylor. Clearly we won’t do that so unfortunately some of this shower of pathetic shite will still be with us next season which is worrying

[StocksArmy]

He was a lot better than ok against Rochdale,

Oh right well, another year then!

[DonnyOsmond]

Bostock's absence speaks volumes.

Does it? We'll have a different manager next week so everyone has a clean slate.

[Northants Nomad]

My 'keep' list:
- Louis Jones;
- Anderson;
- Taylor;
- Greaves;
- Horton.

[Northants Nomad]

Bostock's absence speaks volumes.

You're right, the manager will allow them a clean slate, but a lot of fans will not allow some of the players such a luxury - some of them have been a disgrace.

[DonnyOsmond]

Jones (as number 1, only one bad game so far but bring on an experienced backup to keep him on his toes.)
James (not in defence, wouldn't go OTT to keep though)
Anderson
Wright
John
Butler
Horton
Greaves
Bostock
Lokilo (6 month deal, extend if he performs like recently)
Taylor
Okenabirhie

He’s started probably half a dozen games this season and he’s played well 3 or 4 games.
He’s done much better than most others since Xmas
Anyway it’s your opinion and it’s my opinion, done need to keep going on and on about it

I agree but if you look back at 15-16 we had Butler, Rowe and Coppinger in a team that got relegated from League One then all 3 were instrumental in getting us into the play offs a few seasons later.

[Canadian Rover]

My list:
- Louis Jones #2
- Anderson
- Okenabirhie
- Taylor
- Horton

[drfchound]

Not seen Blythe play before today but he impressed me.
He should be around the first team squad next season.
John Jules tried his socks off today so it would be nice to try and get him back along with Matt Smith if possible.
