I don't think there're any real surprises in that list.

Smith hasn't really featured this season and although he's been an excellent servant for the club in recent years, I don't see him as a Conference player.

Flitcroft and Howarth are in a similar vein as Smith. Good servants, but if you're looking to go forward you need more quality than these two can offer.

Kennedy is a decent 'keeper, but I think someone more substantial is needed if we're going to build a strong defence.

Lutel was already gone in my mind and I didn't think that Halford would ever return either. All in all, no shocks at all for me.

I just hope this is the start of things, because in my mind there a few others that need upgrading too.

I know I'll be criticised for this, but being sentimental about things will achieve nothing. If Stanley are serious about going forward, we need to clear out the 'averages' and replace them with better players. This is when Coleman will really earn his corn. Can he attract the kind of players we need?
