Football is a cut throat world, but I’d hope we’re offering decent contracts to both Cedwyn and Bajrami. I think they’ve both got something to offer in League 2.

Tricky one. When asked about him in press conferences, Maynard has been glowing about Scott.
Jatta and Macca have formed a good partnership. He loves to sub Jatta and maybe thinks Scott is too similar. Tends to bring McGoldrick on.
Also, could be a slight PR move; if Maynard brings Langstaff off and says “I want to see what Scott can do…” you can guarantee a huge percentage of fans wouldn’t give a toss; they’d just boo him for taking Macca off.
I think Scott will be here next season and if Macca goes, could have a real chance.
Scott is nothing like jatta...as for McGoldrick, his best years were with Derby..
I’d be happy if we offered him a contract but our forward players are all under contract next season and have done a phenomenal job without Scott as an option.
The vast majority of next seasons budget you’d think would go on defenders/defensive midfielders and we’re going to need every penny.
So I think there’s a justification for letting him go before you even debate whether he can give us a full season without injury.
I’m sure when he joined us he was out with illness for weeks and then suffered a couple of injuries during the NL season.
He’s a fans favourite because he’s good when he’s on the pitch, but so was Cal Roberts who probably had a similar injury record.
My gut feeling is he will go.
The description someone near me used to describe Cedwyn when he came on today was “leggy”, and that seems spot-on. He’s obviously struggling for match sharpness and we don’t know whether he can cut it at L2 level. He might be worth a one-year contract, but my gut feeling is that he’s probably a good NL striker.
He was never really fast, and yes it's normal not to be sharp after so long out, but yes he was a yard slower than the rest of our team. Even Jatta is a quick player despite being so big.
Hope we offer him an extension so he gets his chance but no more than a year as I imagine Scott has enjoyed the benefit in fans' minds of not being involved in the January-March **** show, so we still remember him for his very good performances in the NL, but the jury is still out on him in L2 and giving out 2 year contracts for sentimental reasons has caused us problems this year.
