I would like to keep in JJ in some capacity, probably also chicksen, Rudd, da silva. Would hope to find better than crofts, Johnson, Byrne, ulvestad and botaka.
I agree with every point here. What kind of a debate is that?!
We will not get Rudd on too much wages at Norwich. Page, chicksen, and crofts not good enough if we are looking to push on next season. Dasilva would be good for another season loan. Rest of loans can go back not good enough to be in the side if mounting a proper challenge next season.
Can we give Chicksen a new contract please? Isn't groundbreaking but he's a League One player with a lot of energy
Agreed. It's probably how people feel about Crofts. You need squad players. It's not sexy, and not everyone we can pay transfer fees for. Archie Edwards doesn't seem to be knocking down the door there so I figure it makes sense to keep him for another year. It might allow us to loan out Edwards to get some first team experience. He can also play right back which might mean we don't need more RB cover, and use Aaron Barnes there as third choice RB.

With this lot in charge though, I don't hold out too much hope that they'll dish out too many contracts. They didn't even offer Ben Hamer a new contract until Leicester offered him one. We've barely even had any squad players to cover positions in the last few years. Crofts and Chicksen are perfectly capable of signing for another League One club, we need them. But I'm not going to count my chicksens.

Crofts is a regular, Chicksen seems out in the cold now. On that basis, it's more likely that KR (if it is he) will want the former to stay. Apart from anything else, Page is his LB, the player he signed. Similarly, I imagine he might want Byrne to stay, but not Botaka seeing that former has played far more often and is his loan signing
Chicksen, Crofts, Jackson, Johnson plus Rudd, Dasilva, Bryne, Ulvested and Botaka
Total rebuild yet again. Tossers
7 of those mentioned were in the 18 on duty against Gillingham, 5 started the game including 4 loanees .. as you write, major changes to come in the summer .. I just hope that Robinson is not the man to decide who comes and who goes, he should be first out the door come May
Yep. Solid LB can cover RB or LM. A sort of Laurie Wilson player. Probably wouldn't get on the starting 11 of a side going for promotion but exactly the player you'd want in the squad. Will come in and do a job and won't let you down.

I think Roland and Meire should be first out the door, then Robinson, and hopefully Chris Powell still has a spare key...
I quite like Byrne, but he's neither one thing or the other and has a woeful defensive positional sense. With Holmes on the other side we need more direct pace with better crossing. Coming from Wolves & Wigan he must be on massive wages. Waste of time.
Like Chicksen. Positionally aware and good on the ball. How he got dropped after the Peterborough game when Bauer's defensive awareness was shocking well.... Chicksen covered for him, got the blame, and got the blame for a wonder goal. Whilst Byrne managed to not bother marking the one player on his side for the first goal. Hmmm Robinson.... Sign him.
Jackson. No spine in the dressing room without him. Would be a tragedy if we lose him. Sign him.
DaSilva no idea on him.
Botaka release waste of wages for return.
Rudd.... not sure. I'd like to see Phillips played for 1-2 games.

Keep JJ as a coach in place of C'Ol though.
If DeSilva wants another year in this poxy league I guess I would keep him too but he will go to the Champ I reckon.
