Was thinking the same if we stayed in league one but that hasn't happened so I think burge be fine in league 2Agree with that. Think we need an experienced keeper although to be fair Burge has upped his game in recent weeks.
Gadzhev has only played 12 league games. Has been massively underutilized for an international player.Following players out of contract this summer. This is who I would keep and let go others thoughts ?

Gadzhev - gone done nothing since came in

others thoughts ?
Gadzhev has to go. He will be on decent money and isn't fit often enough. Doesn't look like a world beater when he is either.Gadzhev has only played 12 league games. Has been massively underutilized for an international player.
He did score in an early round of the EFL trophy. Without his goal we may not have reached the final.
He can score goals from midfield, something none of our current midfielders can do.
Need a beast up front, like their 9 today
Never seen him look effective when he's been on the pitch, in recent weeks Bigi, Lameiras, Reid and G.Thomas have gotten on the scoresheet from midfield. Stevenson is more than capable of scoring 5+ goals from midfield tooGadzhev has only played 12 league games. Has been massively underutilized for an international player.

Surely if we keep Stevenson he has to start next year?contracted players
RCC - Keep - feel he has potential and as he is currently under contract id keep him here
Willis - Keep - Versatile, strong and after a full pre-season might be able to manage a full 90 mins. Can see him being bought though
Turnbull - Keep - Played well since Christmas and still young
Jones - Keep - will be a very good player once he matures
Reid - Keep - Very frustrating but on his day unplayable. Good competition with Jones for LM position
Kwame - Undecided - Has some ability but seems erratic. Possible rotation striker for next year.
Beavon - Keep - Not a lot of talent but is tireless in getting the team up the pitch. Could be very useful in league 2
Harries - Sell - Although he has excellent player think we should cash in as if we had to sell one player out of willis, Stevenson etc. he would have the least impact
Stevenson - Keep - Far too good for league 2 and would love it if we managed to keep him - top footballer.
Other players - Sayoud, Addai, Maycock, Shipley, Whitmore, Leahy - will all probably be kept as they have 1 year remaining and don't see much point in releasing them now. Cant see many of them pushing their way into the 1st team and think they will be released at end of 2017-18 season. This years u18 will overtake them and are better footballer imo. Bayliss, Ponticelli, Ford, Thompson, Hickman and Camwell have all got a great chance of breaking through as early as next season.
Non contacted
Burge - Release - Harsh but I think we could do with an experienced keeper as no.1
Stokes - Keep - useful player and never lets you down at either left or centre back
Bigi - Keep - Better than league 2 but I can see him signing
Rose - Release - Not a fan and deteriorated under Slade as most did
Clarke - Release - Scared of any quick striker - get rid
Lameiras - Undecided - Frustrating but has looked better last few games and is better in the no.10 position
Gadshev - Release - Has been very disappointing after the hype before the season
Tudgay - Release - Legs have gone although some of the abuse he gets in unwarranted
Foley - Release - no explanation needed
Haynes - Keep - Has become better defensively under Robins and when plays down left with Reid looks a threat going forward.
Finch - Release - finally his contracts up
G. Thomas - Keep - vital we keep him, could be a struggle
Dion - Keep - Love him but the fact Foley played ahead of him may mean he'll want out (I would do)
Spence - Keep - looks like he has potential so if there is any surplus funds would keep.
Realistic 11 next season

I can guarantee you that Willis will be sold this summer.
I have thought that for months but I am not sure who would sign him he seems very injury prone.
wolves and Birmingham were sniffing around in Jan
Yes I'd expect he'll go but maybe a bit further northwolves and Birmingham were sniffing around in Jan
He played well at Wembley. Wouldn't be surprised if he heads to a southern European league. He's a Londoner but his family are originally from Portugal so he might be up for itIt's utterly ridiculous to argue Lameries deserves a new contract
Yes their 9 and 11 are quality players at this level. 11 should have s great futureNeed a beast up front, like their 9 today

Out of contract:
L Burge - likely offered a deal, tho I'd rather a experienced keeper. Been better recently, Budget will dictate this one.
C Stokes - should be offered a deal, tho will he sign?
R Haynes - offered deal for sure.
D Kelly-Evans - offered deal.....
J Finch - likely released...
G Bigirimana - offered deal, looks consistently better under MR, tho still does silly things.
V Ghadzev - released, not settled or shown enough his cv suggests.
A Rose - released for me. May as well be 5'5" for how he uses his body.
I Lawton - cannot call this one, likely released to a likely uproar as he's under the tag of "one of our own" and "bleeds for the club" needs to get out and show it on the pitch to believe it...
R Lameries - released, will be no good for where we're heading. Will be ineffective on league two pitches.
G Thomas - offered deal 100%. Adding goals to his game now, be a question of if he accepts.... compensation waiting if not
M Tudgay - released...
N Clarke - offered a deal, been a vital experienced head at the back in recent weeks. Lacks pace but deals with the big target men well and wins everything in the air.
K Foley - cannot call this one, MR has used him recently and seems to prefer experience.
Players leaving:
Willis - sold
Harries - sold
Stevenson - sold
(Budget had to come from somewhere....)
Reid - offered a free transfer to get off the books.
17/18 team....

Let's not forget that most of this side have not been up to standard this season. A skeleton side can be made but new additions are a must. A experienced keeper is a must, Clarke retaining to win everything in the air and a quick partner or Turnbull. A midfielder grafter/battler who will motivate and drag a side through games. A target man/natural goal scorer who can add height physicality to feed both George and Kwame and a striker like Chris Dagnal, a proven striker in league two. Goals is a must to get out. We need to fire 70+ goals to reach the top 7.
I'm still not sure about k Thomas, he might be ok in league 2.
