One of these players doesn't really fit in... Bishop was a grafter but he didn't have a creative bone in his body compared to the rest of those players. O'Connor might be the answer, he was spraying the ball around at will when he came on and almost single handedly changed the game for us against Coventry if he can stay fit next season he could be exactly what we need.

Regarding how many players we will retain already being a big number, we finished 5th this season with this squad and Nolan is clearly a believer that you should build a team and it takes time, it's why he's strongly praised Accrington, Wycombe and Luton whenever he's had the chance to and look how much he improved us with pretty much the same squad we had on our 10 game losing streak.

If Crossley's interview a few weeks ago about goalkeepers is to be believed I'd be surprised if we didn't retain all three of our current keepers and I wouldn't be annoyed with that at all, Nolan has said a few times that without his injury he thinks Collin would have been in the League 2 team of the year and he clearly rates him. Fitz is a capable backup thats shown he can step in and Pindroch..? Crossley rates him as a prospect and I'd imagine he will go out on loan next year if we keep him under contract.
