I'd try to sign up Sam and Lacey. Not sure about the others. As we already have Cameron and Rawlinson under contract how many CBs do we need?
I'd offer new contracts to Lacey, Sam, Chicksen, Brindley and Kelly-Evans. They're all very capable players at this level and if we don't re-sign them I think they would be of interest to our competitors. I think the weakest links in our squad are Kairo Mitchell (who I suspect was a Burchnall pick rather than a Radar signing, going back to their Leicester links) and Ed Francis, but they are contracted for another year.

In truth, there aren't many players in our squad who could be described as write-offs. The likes of Nemane and Taylor have been inconsistent, but it would be churlish to say they haven't had good games during the season. Early in the season Taylor was playing really well. For me, the problem with this squad is not particularly the players we've signed, but the ones we haven't signed.

We seriously lack height, power and dominant personalities in the midfield area. Aside from replacing Kyle Wootton, the big task this summer is to target and sign big, strong, aggressive midfielders who can give more protection and support to the defence, especially at set-pieces, and maximise the amount of ball we can win and provide to our attacking players.
