Out Of Contract Players
 

I've just been reading the preview for tomorrow's match and I took special note of one of Cooky's quotes:

"A lot of lads are playing for contracts whether they think it or not. We've only got two contracted players for next season so if anyone wants to get their slippers on and relax they won't be sleeping in our bed."

A good strong stance, and something I like to hear. However, it's got me thinking about all the players who are out of contract at the end of the season and I'm wondering everyone's thoughts... who do we think will be staying or going? Who has earned a new contract and who do we think may be let go?

Any thoughts? :smile8:

As for the first team squad now.......... Minus all the loan's going back of course, we have these lads left....

2. Danny Coid...... Gone I fear with the injury :(
3 DF Dean Winnard (captain) (Already signed up)
4 DF Sean Hessey (Hopefully stays)
7 FW Craig Lindfield (Has been ALOT better but still needs to improve for me)
8 MF Charlie Barnett (See Lindfield)
9 FW Kurtis Guthrie (Has been unlucky but I fear he is gone)
10 MF Ian Craney (Terrible injury record, time to go for me)
11 MF Luke Joyce (Already signed)
12 DF Peter Murphy (Alot better this year and versatile, keep)
14 MF Kevin McIntyre (Sign him up again, great second half to the season)
15 MF Alan Burton (Never fit, time to go )
18 DF Liam Willis (Decent young player, keep, but I fear Cooky doesnt rate)
24 MF Ryan Hopper (Good young talent, keep)
25 GK Ian Dunbavin (Good servent, but time to move on for Bavs)
27 MF Bryan Hughes (Hopefully we can keep him)
30 MF Will Hatfield (Cooky says he staying, good news)
- DF Leam Richardson................... Retired????

Re: Out Of Contract Players
 

My humble opinion anyway.

As for potential signings, who knows??

Would love to see us sign the likes of Grant, Amond & Devitt, though I fear all are out of our price range :(

Re: Out Of Contract Players
 

Yer wrong there smudge cooky does rate Willis n explained the score last night.;)

Re: Out Of Contract Players
 

Good news!!

Re: Out Of Contract Players
 

Yep i was well suited.:)

Re: Out Of Contract Players
 

Ya reckon ? :)

Re: Out Of Contract Players
 

From what I've seen, Cook rates Kurtis. With a good pre-season and a fresh start, who knows what may come of him.

Re: Out Of Contract Players
 

Kurtis needs to beef up & have footballing mentality - if that happens he's staying if no chance after set time to change then he's gone, that's what I gathered from cookys last night.

Re: Out Of Contract Players
 

He just needs a bit of a cuddle :D

Re: Out Of Contract Players
 

I just think Kurtis has been unlucky.

If the "goal" he scored at Northampton on the opening day had been given, IF his screamer away at Plymouth had gone in................. We could have a player on our hands.

Re: Out Of Contract Players
 

If only that 'goal' at Northampton hadn't been disallowed...

Re: Out Of Contract Players
 

Absolutely. Confidence is such a crucial variable in football that can make or break even the best of players. The Football League has sent many players off to Sunday league never to return, not because they didn't have the talent, but because their mentality wasn't right. Hopefully Kurtis won't be one of them. It's up to him, though.

Re: Out Of Contract Players
 

So it happens! yeh need the mentality to put it behind yeh, If thats a reason,Kurtis aint got it yet, Lets hope he can beef up n acquire it.

Re: Out Of Contract Players
 

so whats the story with Willis?
