Anyone know who’s out of contract at the end of this season? Just interested how the squad will shrink on its own if we don’t offer new contracts.

Some really good names there still under contract... as for those coming to the end of their contracts... who would you really try to keep... Milsom at the moment definitely and maybe Aless... I still really like Hewitt as a squad player and also Stead. As for the rest of them I can't see any use in keeping them.
I'd say a good few of those under contract will be shown the door in the close season
At least 50% of this is true. If you honestly think Stead should go after last night, and what he has done consistently for us over the least few years, you are off your rocker. Last night we had ‘better’ or ‘younger’ players playing and yet we looked more dangerous when the old uns came on.
Please keep Stead, CMS, Doyle, O’Brien, Milsom and bring some young lads to the club to play off these boys.
And for God sake bring a proper keeper and a horrible massive centre back... as good as the young boys have been last night needed this. Marking Walker out of a game compared to someone as physical as Matt are 2 completely different beasts.
I must be off my trolley then.
I don't think Stead is an out and out target man in a million years.
He's been wedged into that role which does not suit him.
He would not suit playing next to a target man as he is to slow..
How many of his goals have come from penalties this season ...? over half at a guess.
now having said that does not mean I dislike this guy.
Yes he has been done ok for us over a couple of seasons , and he has a great attitude about the game and Notts.
However having him in the squad as our target man only weakens the Team and we are look at building a team for next season that is more balanced .
