...or at least try to, come the end of the season?

Here's the current first team squad; in bold are the players I would offer contracts to:

Kenny Arthur
Ian Dunbavin
Peter Cavanagh
Phil Edwards
James Bell
Peter Murphy
Colin Murdock
Robbie Williams
Chris King
Leam Richardson
Chris Turner
Jimmy Ryan
Andy Procter
John Mullin
John Miles
Bobby Grant
Sean McConville (already under contract for next season)
Paul Mullin (already under contract for next season)
Andy Smith

I rate Ian Dunbavin as a decent stand-in 'keeper, but having an injured back up player for most of the season is pretty pointless. Jay Bell isn't good enough for league football. Colin Murdock is ok to deputise in case of injury, but I'd rather keep a younger player of equal ability in Peter Murphy. John Mullin has held our midfield together at times this season, it will be a shame to see him go, but again it's a question of how many full games we'd get out of him in a season. John Miles has been awful for most of his time here, surely we can't offer him a new contract. I don't think Bobby Grant will become a consistent league footballer, whereas I just don't think that Andy Smith has the ability. If he does, we'll probably never see it. I'm not sure whether I'd try to sign Lindfield or Charnock.

Stick yer two-penneth in 'ere.
