Players currently coming to the end of their contracts will I suggest be seeking pastures new if only to see an increase in their salary as I expect that the terms we are able to afford will be matched and often bettered by both FL and National League clubs.
Loyalty isn't a word that may footballers recognise and really who can blame them when the life of a pro footballer is relatively short.
Jim says that players are playing for a contract next season. I suggest that because the majority if not all have little intention of staying at our club and therefore they have little incentive to perform to their maximum which could explain the lack of effort too frequently shown in games of late.
Personally I think it is time for a complete clear out at the club and that circumstances may in fact result in this. Too many players just don't give a sod any more and their lack of endeavour is all too plain to see which makes Jim's apparent reluctance to give Doyle a chance strange to say the least when the present incumbents of central defence have been an abject failure almost from day 1 of this forgettable season.
Jim has too often pointed the finger of blame (correctly) at the defence but does sod all about it and continues to pick the same 2 from 3 which is bad management in my opinion resulting in those players knowing full well that their names will appear on the team sheet irrespective of their latest diabolical performance.
As I understand it their are 6 players on contracts that will carry forward to next season. If Jim wants a squad of say 22 players next season then he will have a very busy time leading up to pre season.
Best of luck Jim....you'll need it....
PS Speculation on who we are signing will be in overdrive this close season.....
