    12 have left the Under 21’s. A big number there in one hit. A bit of stream lining with more first team players and under 18’s involved

    Big group of U16s (12) stepping up to U18.

    Successfull U18s step up to U21s.

    Squad probably was a bit too big in terms of purely numbers but a lot of those U21s released haven't featured much this seaso

    The other way of looking at it is that it leaves room for signings like Maclorg, Cant and Phillips plus some Mount Pleasant lads.

    Need @Scoham to give us an updated squad list🤞

    Yes we may see one or two lads from Mount Pleasant on trial. If no good then the club can always return to sender

    Released
    Adegoke
    Molyneux
    Adigun
    Roddy
    Bakrin
    Ladapo 
    Santos
    Williams
    Viggars
    Okechukwu
    Dench
    Hand

    Offered new
    Toure
    Huke

    Retained
    Bower
    Hobden
    Kedwell

    It is nice Toure has been offered a new deal as he won the Bolangi award a couple of years back so clearly a good egg and has had injuries in his time with us.  Hope he signs and can push on. 

    Huke looked good in the U18s last season with plenty of goals so again seems a sensible one to try to hold onto.

    From the little I know of those leaving Adigun and Williams both looked good on the occasion I saw them and I would think have careers in the game; of course good luck to all of them, it must be really tough hearing someone say you are not good enough after the dedication and commitment each will have put in to get this far.

    The 3 retained maybe start to get to an age they could do with a loan or some first team time depending on where they are with development.

    Overall, reducing the number of kids this way seems sensible as it creates room for those coming through and also room for first teamers out of fitness/form and needing minutes.  

    With the slightly older age group I really hope we can tie Leaburn and Mitchell down with longer contracts soon and maybe give Casey an extra year or two as well.

    With the younger ones it will be interesting to hear who signs pro.

    Maclorg seems to have been here a while.  The others are/were on trial so possible but nothing confirmed.

    The club may feel that there are decent players at other clubs we can pick up.
