the pain is starting to subside a little so thoughts are now starting to move to next season. Looking at the squad list I see it as:-
Keeper's - Vince
Defenders - Pidge, Marrs, Mills, Price, Steer
Midfielders - Garner, Felix, Hall, Hollingsworth, McGee, Roberts, Sheriden, Walker
Strikers - Jones, Southwell, Newsham, Saebe
anyone else know whos contracted for next season and for those who aren't who should we be offering terms to?
-
Don't think Newsham and Hollingsworth will be here next season. If Vince has a year to run on his contract I would think he will go out on a season long loan, if not think he will be let go as well. I'd be surprised if Hall and Sheridan are retained also.
-
I may of missed it so sorry if I have but I don't think steer is under one
-
9 players on contract for next season are. Vince, Mills, Pidge, Roberts, Garner, Dixon, Felix Jones and Southwell. All other lads on non contract or loan and Newsham is out of contract. I can see a few leaving marrs, Hollingsworth,mcghee,sheridan, hall, walker and maybe Newsham.
-
just been told Liam marrs was on radio lincs this morning hoping to get signed up for the season ahead.
-

Correct, Steer has never been under contract with us. Presumably, in case a higher-division club in London wants him?
I think McGhee will leave - he pretty much waved to the crowd at the end on Saturday. Whether that's our decision (due to injury problems) or his (lack of starts), I don't know.
DG likes Newsham, and I presume will offer him something - and hopefully he'll stay. He's a good number 3 striker to have available, offering a different threat than Southwell and Jones.
-
A good pre-season could see Newsham recapture some of his form of old. I would give him a chance to prove himself during July and August and then see how things are.

-
Newsham must be one of our highest earners and if he is gonna be 3rd choice striker I can't see us keeping him. Where does everyone think the squad needs strengthening?
-
I do not want to put a downer on Saturday's gutsy performance, but I thought we had a very weak link in Walker. I thought Mcghee did more in his cameo, than Walker did all match.
-
Agreed D.
Walker has failed to impress most of the time he has been with us, apart from a world class free kick or two - which begs the question why he did not take the one where we had no idea who was taking it or what the plan was!
I would like to see Mcghee in our colours again next season, as at the start of this season he was one of our stand-out players. Also, his little spat with their keeper shows his commitment.
-
Already agreed deals - Vince, Pidge, Mills, Garner, Dixon, Roberts, Jones, Southwell, Felix
Think we should keep - Steer, Marrs, Walker (still young and shows real quality on the ball at times but struggled Saturday and looked tired towards end), Newsham (will always score goals but will he be happy to warm the bench?), Mcghee (full of energy and versatile), Price and Saebe,
Release - Hollingsworth (always going to be behind Roberts, Dixon and Garner in pecking order), Hall (may not stay as doesn't seem to be able to play every week due to other commitments)
Not sure about Sheridan Greene sounded like a big fan of his when he signed him so may want to try and sign him for next season
The keeper is the only real area of concern. Think Max has been fantastic, is Sunderland let us keep him that would be ideal otherwise we need another top class keeper to be challenging for the title.
-
most of us cant understand how number 9 stayed on the pitch and looking at the state of Pidges face after the game it was clear that the treatment Pidge got crossed the line and the ref was weak. However saying all that number 9 summed up in my opinion the type of player you need in your squad at times, we are too nice, I dont want to give fatty mcfraud any compliments but we had some old pro's in the team that won the conference that if they couldnt win it fairly would kick, pull, surround the ref etc and influence the game, at times it wasnt pretty but this season we have struggled against the physical sides, just look at the games against NFU.
-
We're in a much better shape than when we lost to Guiseley, we all knew we would be losing most of our best players then.
Replacing Max in goal is going to be tough though, I felt we improved immensely when he came in, and I hope he goes on to play professionally, he's got a great attitude.
-
The keeper is the big one for me. Vince isn't up to it, and we unless we can get Dixon or Max back for the full season we're going to have a hole to fill. What about Farman at Lincoln? They haven't got pots of cash to throw and he was pretty good for us.
I'd like to keep the Newsh on. Been with us through thick and thin, and would be nice to see the club show some loyalty too. Plus he's a different type of striker to Dayle and Jones which we need.
Hopefully we can keep Pidge, I'd also like to have another in midfield so we can have the option of getting Garner back at centre half. Committed, yes. A leader, yes. A centre midfielder? I'm still not sure...
Keeping Rene would be massive (mainly for scoring from 30 yards with ease), and another winger like Felix and we'd be away.
It's gonna be tough again next season. Flyde are still here, I guess Alfreton, Telford and maybe Nuneaton are coming down to us. Plus FCUM and one of Chorley & Guiseley.
-
Desperately need a keeper - i can't see us getting Dixon or Max back next season as Sunderland will want the players to develop and may look a league or 2 higher than us. If they have another off the production line then that would be great.
No player is worth breaking the bank for, and with the money they would have been on, is it worth looking at the better NFU players if they do go down voluntarily?
If Walker can develop then great, if not then we definitely need a left sided midfielder, another central midfielder as Garns did a good job there (very reminiscent of when Ellender played there)but he was clearly a centre back there when we need a combative midfileder if we are going to try to win the league.
So keeper, central midfielder, left sided midfielder and if there is a better striker available than what we have got, then that will do for summer recruitment for me
-
Can anyone remember when we have had such a solid group to build from before? Really get the sense that its 'building' rather than start again for next season. That must help us retain those we need and encourage those we want to bring in.
One thing that will be an extra hurdle to overcome will be the expectations. Those of us supporters, the team themselves, the board and sides we come up against. The run since Christmas has raised the bar, talk is genuinely about winning the title next season not just play-offs would be good. I'm finally starting to climb out of the misery from Saturday!
-
Vince wasn't doing too badly at the start of the season until he started getting messed about and dropped for the likes of Gledhill. Never really got himself back on track after that - which is a shame as I think he has great potential. Probably just needs man-managing better.

Keeper will be the priority pre season. Everyone except Hollingsworth, Sheridan and Hall will hopefully be retained. Presumably most of those not on contract will be given non contract terms such as McGhee etc.

Garner moving to central-midfield has to be one of the reasons we've done so well in the 2nd half of the season. He gets stuck in, and it's always better to win the ball back in midfield rather than defence.
-
Agree. moving garner to centre midfield and mills to centre half made our season. Goalkeeper, right back, left winger and striker needed to make us title contenders. Can't see marrs staying as he lives in Newcastle.
-
Hall is only registered to play and a help us if we need and he is available basis, so I can see something like that again next season as his football time is limited now, Newsham id love to stay but lets get a pre season under the belt then see what happens. Goal is one place that needs dealing with. On top of that I think id be looking to find a utility player or 2 more than a particular position. One of our very few weaknesses since Christmas is that we have not been able to cover injuries to well.
I.E when Zak was out we had to move Gardner back in althou the middle was always replaced by a good replacement you could see the lack of bite.
If I was to chose id rather leave Gardner in the middle and have a back up at cb
-
We could do with a Galinski-type player...
-
It would be great to have Greg Tempest back here next season, either on loan or permanently if Notts County release him.
-
Talking goalkeepers, I'd be happy with either of the Sunderland keepers on a season's loan, but can't see it happening. How about Jasbir Singh therefore? He was considered one of the best in Conference North for Solihull Moors but signed a one year deal with Kidderminster last summer. For whatever reason things haven't worked out at Kidderminster - he has been reserve keeper and has only played one game for them - so pretty sure his deal there won't get extended. I don't know where he lives but I'd assume West Midlands somewhere. It would mean some long journeys to games and to training, but with Scott Garner living in Coventry we already have at least one player coming from a similar direction.

Singh has now been released.
-
We could do much worse than him
-
If Guiseley go up, wonder if they'll go full time...? Could be scope for Drench if he has a good job?
-
Jonathan Hedge has been released by Telford. Ex-Grimsby and Halifax, ended the season at North Ferriby (albeit when they were conceding lots of goals)

Lets in too many "soft" goals,
Like to see Nicklin from NFU .
-
Greg Tempest released today by Notts County
-
Nicklin is contracted to Ferriby next season. Singh would be a excellent signing. Lives Birmingham way I believe maybe too far away for us?

NFU have told the players they are free to leave .
-
Greg Tempest released today by Notts County
If fully fit again would be a good signing .

That's the goalkeeping position sorted, then.
-
I thought the situation at Ferriby had changed and they were now keeping the contracted players?
-
If I can get from Brum every week so can he! He probably drives too!
-
I see your point Josh however plenty of midland based clubs for him to choose from. Would be great addition though.
-

They are slashing the budget, so you would expect all players on (big) contracts to be allowed to leave to avoid paying them inflated wages.
-
Nathan Jarman has also left NFU.
-
its an ishy league with ishy teams and were still playing in it. will these guys make any diff bro. no way r they coming to York street.

The Ishmian league is down south
-
See David Norris has been released by The Posh, I wonder!!.
-
Doubt it, for one he's now 34 and second has a dodgy knee, cracking player in his prime though, think Boston got quite a bit of money for him when he left.

Well somebody did :)
-
:D Read my mind, did consider putting something to that effect in my post, but gotta be careful as to what you can post online, i'll give the benefit of doubt that it went into the Boston coffers. ::)
-
Dont suppose we could get the NFU left winger. He looked very good whenever I saw him, espec in NL Final
-
Wish somebody would change Pidges bandage he will finish up with an infection. ( Club site)
-
Dt Woodhall - Dennis tried to sign him before Xmas as he was on non contract terms but he rejected the approach and we signed Walker instead. Hopefully he can be sweet talked in the summer as he ran rings around Marrsy in a couple of the games against us.

No mention of St Juste... either that he's staying or leaving?
-
St juste would be a great signing for us. Signing him would give us a great chance next season. Can't see it happening though. Based in Leeds area and lots of clubs in that area who can offer more money than us.
-
And he's not really a Saint you know.
-
Apparently he has been offered a reduced contract, and hasn't given an answer yet. Unless he's away on holiday, I'd say he's inviting other clubs to make him an offer.
-
He won't be short of offers he is a quality player at this level.
-
The squad page on the official site is looking a bit thinner. Jake Hall and Ollie Price have disappeared (and there may be others).
-
Thankfully Jarman has gone to Trinity. Worried a little we might have been interested. Wilson has also gone there, the Trinity_NFU_Trinity moneygoround has begun.
-
DG is saying that we only need one or two as "we'll get our loan players in as well once the season starts "
Hopefully that means Max will be back again, although I think Sam Vince should be kept on as he looked good before he got himself red-carded last season
-
Vince has a year left on his contract
-
Grantham have unveiled Hollingsworth as their first new signing ...
http://www.granthamtownfc.com/news/details.php?news_id=11629#news
-
Hollingsworth had potential and did ok but with garner Dixon and Roberts all contracted for next season he needs regular football and could have an outstanding season at a lower level.

Singh has now been released.
Signed for Gloucester City.
