    Of the current squad, who do we want to stay and start in the first XI next season?

    For me I’m happy with Cosgrove, Phillips and Connell (if fit). Would be good to make the McAtee and Grant moves permanent.

    We’ll have a lot of the same team, so hope the new coach can get them playing.

    McAtee - unlikely
    Grant - essential we sign him

    I actually think there's the nucleus of a good side. Just have to get the defence sorted.

    Phillips is gunna be hard to hold he scores a lot of goals from midfield which will attract some interest

    It’s really simple. A GK, and some defenders. The rest will look after itself. Not concerned about Cole and Kane leaving one bit.

    McAtee we have no chance of getting permanently but we already have option to make Grant permanent so that should get done.

    Get Pines fit and build defense around him. Connell and Phillips in middle and Cosgrove up top and that's a decent spine. Then build from there.

    I'd offer a new contract to Cosgrove. Try and sign Mcatee. However, Grant is an essential.

    A couple of defenders, better quality wingers and a decent coach. And a new goalkeeper, unless Killip steps up.

    Macatee won't be back here. I'd be shocked if he was. Lopata isn't good enough

    I'd like to see us try and use some other formations with 4 at the back. Earl can play LB, Lofthouse at RB, Pines & MDG in the middle? Mael might be a bit more solid in a 4. Decently experience keeper behind them and we could play 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1.

    What about Lofthouse ?? Done well on loan by all accounts.

    We either need to change formation to accommodate wingers or our wing backs need to be good at crossing. Get balls into Cosgrove in the box and even if he doesn’t score, he’ll be a nuisance to defenders.

    Need to get Luca back to his level of last season too.

    I’m probably blinded by that second half a little bit but if we can just shore up the defence and cut out the set piece and daft goals. I know most teams probably say that but it’s been our Achilles heel all season.

    Grant and Cosgrove have been big positives tonight. Would like us to sign Grant. Reminds me of Scowen.

    Think OKeefe has done enough in last couple of games.
    Not fussed if Cadden or Roberts move on.
    We need a decent keeper.

    Pines, Connell, Phillips, Lofthouse and Cosgrove. Everyone else can go.

    Killip only signed for a year I believe. Be surprised if we offered him a new deal if that is the case.

    Signed a contract with us until 2026, so no rush from the club's perspective. Would be nice to keep our better players and get the benefit.
