Goalkeeper
I'd prioritise trying to find two out of three of Andresson, Bouzanis and Button a new club. Hopefully this frees up the squad space to extend Pereira.
Then try to find a L2/Conf loan for Boyce-Clarke. And use Collins/Norcott as third choice.
Defence
100% Yiadom sees out his contract here. I'd probably extend one of Abrefa or Rushesha, but being brutal, not keep both
Mola has definitely earnt a new contract to play LB. Carson has the potential but really needs to gain confidence. NGW is certainly gone. Dorsett has been a good stop gap, but imo we shouldn't plan for him at LB.
Bindon and Mbengue are obviously our first choice pairing and we should try to keep both and definitely at least one. Would try to move Dean on, but he's useful experience. Would extend Dorsett and use him here. Also John Clarke unless his injury has ruined him.
Midfield
Solid base with Smith, Savage, Elliott and Knibbs. Craig is one of two players we should pull out all reasonable stops to give a new contract. Then a more senior enforcer like Hutch (but not him, time to move on) coming in should round us out nicely. Rushesha hasn't done enough to extend here imo.
Forwards
We should do everything we can to get Azeez to re-sign. After that, Camara hasn't really kicked on, so not sure I'd renew. Wouldn't bring Mukairu back. Kelv isn't really a winger, though he fills in well.
This for me is the key recruitment area, on the flanks.
As for striker, we have Smith, I'd like to see Kelvin play with him here more. And Wareham looks worth keeping around. Probably time for Jahmari to move on.
Basically, main focus flanks, but we could just generally strengthen all over where we can find the right player.
