Who do we want in? Who do we want out ? It's more likely we will be in this shit league again now so be realistic.
Personally anyone out of contract should be let go, they wont be missed.

Wigan are coming down, should we break the bank for Lee Evans?

How long a deal did we give Evans? Assume we're stuck with him again next season?
I don't think we should be offering anyone new deals so assume that sees the end of Wood, A O'Connor, Zeli, Novak, Clarke, Donaldo amongst other shite I've forgotten about.
I like Wood and O'Connor is ok but they're not irreplaceable.
Assume Hossanh, Cook and Jigsaw #2 will be back at their clubs too.
I'm happy with ROD, POC, Canavan, Cooke and Rowe in the XI. Watt, Sutton, Crank 2 High Voltage and Vernam as squaddies.

We still need a big overhaul tbf. I'm not arse about keeping Wood. We need 2 decent full backs who can contribute to the attack. A ball winner in midfield. Some pace up top. Some flair and creativity out wide.
6 or 7 out and in. None of the senior pros who's deals are up should be kept.
And we need to use the loan market.

He needs to be spending his time in and around the box. Wood and Connor can go for me.

Watt, Sutton, Crank 2 High Voltage and Vernam as squaddies. Evans has another season after this. I’d try to keep AOC. Him, Canavan, Paudie and Staunton is as strong a choice of centre halves you’ll get in league two. Hosannah back as RB, there’s no way he’s getting in the Leeds squad, he’s 22 next month and needs to make a career. ROD and Wood I can take or leave, need to add a Bahamboula type player, a bit more pace up front, a striker or two with some goals in them, some depth to the squad and a back up for Cooke.I think we’ll sign Cook permanently. I’ll be happy never to see Novak, Donaldson, Ismail, Clarke, Evans, Pritchard and Burrell ever again. I have a feeling Christmas 2021 will see us mid table and looking for a new manager.

Out: Ismail Pritchard Clarke Cook Novak Donaldson Hosannah Stevens Foulds
First team players needed: 2 CM’s 2 wingers and a CF
——————ROD——————
Wood——POC—-Canavan—-AOC-
——-———-CM—CM—————
Winger———Cooke————Winger
——-————-CF———————
And then some squad players to provide depth.
I reckon we’re looking at about 8 quality signings in total. 5 for the 1st 11 and a few more to cover for injuries, fatigue etc. A bigger rebuild than I originally thought.

I'm not writing Vernam and Crankshaw off. I want to see them being given freedom in an attack minded side before I say whether they're good enough or not. I still maintain they're decent players being utilised in a system where they're unable to show their ability.

I’ve seen nothing in crankshaw so far, all our wingers offer absolutely nothing. Need at least a couple in the summer.

Wood is decent, maybe not kicked on as much as we hoped but he's not a bad player at all.
Let's settle on Vernam and Wood on the left and leave them to form a partnership.

I’ve seen nothing in crankshaw so far, all our wingers offer absolutely nothing. Need at least a couple in the summer. our wingers offer nothing because we're using them as secondary full backs. On the two occasions Crankshaw put in a decent cross it was Rowe vs three oldham cloggers who cleared everything. Now I'm not saying Crankshaw is a world beater, because he's still raw, gives away too many braindead fouls and his decision making is erratic but he does try to take on his man when he gets the ball, as does Vernam. The problem is they see so little of it because we've got no idea how to get them isolated 1v1 with the fullback or with a ball in behind. So they end up getting frustrated, coming narrow and trying to make something happen in the congested middle third of the pitch and inevitably lose the ball. You could put Mark Marshall in this side and he'd also have the same level of output.

Wood won't be here, his head has been away from here for months. And if keep AOC for another year as a bench warmer but the realism is he's on a big wage and he's not gonna accept the wage he's worth.

I don't think we need a rebuild, we've seen over the last few weeks that we have a first team that can beat anyone in this league. What we don't have is any cover for those first team players when they get tired or lose a bit of form.
Bsck five I'd keep, we're solid at the back. AOC might need to take a pay cut, especially if the wage cap rears up again, but he's done well and also gives us cover if Canavan or POC get injured/tired. Depends if we can sign Hosannah from Leeds, it shouldn't be too hard as he's never going to make it as a PL first teamer.
We need a holding midfielder to keep Watt and Sutton honest- both of them need the kick up the arse that competition for places will bring- and we need a centre forward as I don't fancy us going into next season with just Rowe and Novak. Evans is under contract and is versatile as a squad player, Crankshaw and Vernam have both shown flashes, we do need another wide player.
So one DCM, one winger and one CF- but all proper quality- and I reckon we'd be away. Just imagine if we'd kept Vaughan with this team, we'd have been laughing.
