Less than four weeks until our highly sought after out of contract stars can be poached by others...who needs a new deal asap?

Aaron Taylor-Sinclair, Tom Aldred, Barry Maguire, Elliott Frear, Gael Bigirimana, Liam Grimshaw, Chris Cadden, Craig Tanner, Ross MacLean, David Turnbull, Carl McHugh, Andy Rose, Alex Gorrin, Jake Hastie, Ryan Bowman, George Newell, Curtis Main and Conor Sammon - including various loan deals in and out - are up for grabs.

Aldred, Cadden and Turnbull are the only three I'd say we should be looking to tie down and Cadden's is based on previous form/protecting our development fee as much as anything.

Of the rest, I think they need a significant improvement in form or to prove their fitness before we're signing them again. Several have shown decent moments while being inconsistent, others surely are not going to turn things round.

Our immediate need for points means January will be crucial but, hopefully sooner rather than later, summer is going to need some serious thought too.
