Agree with all of that apart from Addai, I don’t know enough about him to comment and still very young... little point replacing a 3rd choice keeper I would have thought ?

Haynes - Release by mutual.
O’Brien - I’d like us to get a better keeper than Burge and keep Burge as backup.

Might be better to spend 1/2 season on loan for a National League team.ponticelli would benefit from being a starter. league 2 loan might be worthwhile. even if only till xmass
If we can guarantee a starting place, then league two would be perfect for 6months and reasses at christmas. He showed on a few occaisons that he has what it takes, I believe he just needs consistent game time to progress further.Might be better to spend 1/2 season on loan for a National League team.
Stokes or Haynes?Currently we have four strikers and all doing okay when they play including Ponticelli, Why loan him out ? As for others I think either Stokes or Haynes will go, possibly MacDonald unless we get a decent bid for Willis. I have a gut feeling Tony Andrue might be moved on, since he signed we have developed a system of play that works well since xmas anyway without him Bayliss and Shipley have emerged plus we now have Westbrook, the Dutchman Bouwe Bosma, Reise Alissini from Dulwich Hamlet and a fit again Jodie Jones. Andrue will be one of out highest earners I’d think
Yeah, agree. After desperately wishing he was match fit so we could utilise him, I can't see Robins now moving him on.Andreu won't be moved on. Robins was practically salivating at the thought of playing him in the playoffs. I still think his intention is to build a system around Andreu in league 1.
Yep. League Two or the National League. Not sure he has it in him to play higher up than that.Haynes' time is surely up. Junior will most likely be first choice and Stokes can cover at CB if needed so is a better replacement. I also get the impression that he gets on with the squad more and is better for morale than Haynes. To be honest Haynes could try another season on the bench here and waste a year of development that means he never becomes a regular pro. It's in his best interest to go somewhere he'd be first choice now.
But apparently he shone when we loaned him out to Cambridge a couple years ago. A few fans praised him this year too when we were all arguing about him, Lincoln fans in particular said he was the best player on the pitch at the away game. I think Pressley ruined him for us, played him too much too soon and he feels the pressure of playing for Cov, going somewhere else might liberate him. I'd let him go on the cheap/free but stick in a decent sell on clause on the off chance he turns good.Yep. League Two or the National League. Not sure he has it in him to play higher up than that.
Yep, well, I have been hoping he would, but it's just not happening.But apparently he shone when we loaned him out to Cambridge a couple years ago.

Depends how much faith they have in Addai too.I can see McDonald leaving. Since Yeovil he has certainly fallen out of favour.
Haynes - sure he was told last summer it was last chance saloon and he needed to up his game; I don’t think he did anything this season to suggest he’s done that
Ponti could benefit from going out on loan, but will depend on what we do in the window in the attacking areas
Doubt we’ll keep both Burge and OBrien although we have to bring someone in to replace one of them first; just our luck we’d get rid of one and then our target will escape us!
For me it's on the phsychological side he needs to develop, like with Burge.But apparently he shone when we loaned him out to Cambridge a couple years ago.

Hope so. Jones and Andreu are gonna be huge next yearAndreu won't be moved on. Robins was practically salivating at the thought of playing him in the playoffs. I still think his intention is to build a system around Andreu in league 1.
Both allowed to go on a free,Otis,from aStokes or Haynes?
Haynes then surely?
Stokes seems to have taken up the mantle and kept his place. Haynes wasn't even making the bench in the end on some occasions.
Surely if one has to go it will be Haynes you would have thought.
Really? Very trustworthy source?Both allowed to go on a free,Otis,from a
Good source.
He really has a lot of options now with his formations.gvI'm sure Robins will go back to 4231 and Andreu is the only player we have who can play in the 10 really.
Once match fit he did well in his first season but since his long term injury not quite the same. We are in a division higher and we’ve signed another left back can see why MR would move him on.I hope Stokes doesn't leave. Seems to be an integral member in the changing room
He was more than comfortable in L1, can same be said for Haynes?He really has a lot of options now with his formations.gv

Won’t that be Addai?I can see McDonald leaving. Since Yeovil he has certainly fallen out of favour.

I haven’t seen him play much but having given him the contract you would think that they have seen something in him.Isn't he 20 now. If so he should really be pushing for a place. I suppose that if he was loaned out they could see how well he develops and then make a decision on a contract for next year.No, he’s not ready and will likely be loaned out
A good source Otis,for obvious reasons i can’t say who,or I will not get any information in the future. Like yourself we were surprised to hear that stokes had been told he can go on a free,if he can find a club then nobody would stand in his Way.Really? Very trustworthy source?
Shame if we were to see Stokes go, but he has been a bit injury-plagued.
Haynes I am not so bothered about.
So that leaves Brown and Camwell.
I agree, plus he seems to actually seems to have some balls like Doyle, and we'll need that even more next season in a higher division.I hope Stokes doesn't leave. Seems to be an integral member in the changing room
