The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Thing is, would JE want to keep both Huke and Corcoran?

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of our players who are contracted (and how long for) and those not?

Good question.

The only ones i know for certain are contracted for next season are Tomlin, McDonald and Shariff!

Going through the player profiles on the OS, I've come up with this (apologies if there are any mistakes):

Roberts - June 11
Osano - June 10
Robinson
Porter - June 10
Stuart - June 10
Downer - June 10
O'Connor -
Wolleaston - June 10
Farrell -
Tomlin - June 11
Cousins -
Day - June 10
McNamara - June 10
Beecroft - June 11
Corcoran - June 10
McGuinness - June 10
Pattison - June 10 + option for another year
Smith - June 11
Hilliard -
Huke - June 10
Terry - June 10
McDonald - June 11
Sharif - June 11

So Roberts, Tomlin, Beecroft, Smith, McDonald and Sharif have contracts for next season.

if we sell osano corcoron is a capable replacement

I expect to see leave

tomlin - need the money/poor attitude
osano - bigger club
louis - absolutely shocking
akurang - easy to get rid of being on loan leaving space for someone else
pattison - not fancied
roberts - remember gateshead/homesick rumours?
byrne - bigger club
wolly - could be on a big wage

although I think the club are quietly confident of keeping byrne whose to stop a league side coming in for him. Would be delighted to see Osano stay but I think he'll be after a higher wage?

8 out for me and probably about 5 in.

I'm confident that those highlighted in red are correct as well. JE said at the fans' forum that KC would only allow him to offer 1 year contracts to players last year, so I would guess Faz and Robinson are also out of contract this summer. Faz's comment in the ET recently would back that assumption.

Unfortunately there's almost a reason for each player to leave. Such as, another club/released/back to parent club/out of contract.
Would'nt say there are any certs yet for next season, only maybe Stuart by his comments recently of wanting to gain promotion next season, he was player of the year and is club captain. Would think that O'Connor and Farrell will have enjoyed their first season at the club.

If that's the case we're fucked next season! That's the core of our team! :(

Not quite the core, but not far from it.
There would be a lot of building to do if that were the case.

In an ideal world and if money was no object, the team consisting of current squad players i would like to start the first game of the season next year would be...

GK: Roberts
DR: Osano
DL: Robinson
DC: Stuart
DC: Downer
ML:
MR: Tomlin
MC: Byrne
MC:
CF:
CF:

Subs/Back up:

Corcoran (Great utility defender)
Porter or Terry (if we could have a hybrid of these 2 it would be perfect)
O'conner or Farrel (either of these 2 depending on type of strikers we bring in)
Smith, Day & Mcdonald (for the future)

Obviously my team has a few blanks that need filling over the summer....it was interesting to see i didnt need to change the defence.
