And there’s always at least one eyebrow raising name on that list. I haven’t been able to find a list of players whose contracts are up. Anyone?

As much as we have talented young players I think this is much needed. I expect he will go for an experienced centre back too and I one of these players will be the new captain – I dont think BD is convinced by any of the existing ones.

Forst things forst though and usually there is a batch of players released after the final game. Except for Brecks, I’m not sure if any of the senior players are out of contract? If Aaron Davies contract is up then he would surely be released. It will also be interesting to see which of the younger players are offered contracts / let go.

Comments like “I was always confident that we would stay up, because I was confident in my ability to make that happen” still really make me struggle to like him. however let’s see what happens next season. good football and at least one win playing good football against Derby and i will be happy. if we we start winning by hoofing the ball up to 1 or 2 “big men” and other giants all over the park then i will not be happy!!

so looking forward to sunday and fingers crossed for some good football next year.

I think Anderson has done well. I’d like to see him back again.
Gunter wont stay, but I’d like to see Moloney given the RB shirt anyway. Good young player, imo
Mixed views on Lynch, would quite like to see Joe Heath have another run in the team….
I think I’m on my own here, but it wouldn’t bother me if Camp didn’t come. Far too much expectation in my opinion. I agree Smith needs either better coaching or A.N.Other goalie to keep him on his toes though.
Centre-backs are between Wes, Chambers and Perch if you believe Davies.
The midfield ball winner is Moussi, if fit.

Not much needs radically changing, really. Just teaching them NOT to aimlessly hoof it upfield to Earnie would be a good start.
Give it to McGugan/McCleary/Moussi and lets PASS our way into the play-offs!

My thoughts turn to the pre-season now that we are safe, and to all the rumours that are floating around.

The players that are touted to come to the City Ground:

Dexter Blackstock – last year of contract at QPR, suspect that they won’t sell, as they are currently managerless. Figures quoted over £2 million is a lot to pay for a player with a year to go.

Dele Adebola – on a free, but valuable experience. He is proven in this league scoring and a good target man, however he wants a two year contract and at 34 risky.

Gary McSheffrey – recovering from injury, and probably be a cast off should Brum go up. Hard to say if he will come if they stay in Championship.

Joel Lynch – has had an indifferent season, good cover for number one choice Bennett.

Chris Gunter – amazing if we sign him, unlikely, but on-loan option brilliant.

Paul Anderson – did not live up to the expectations of his season at the Swans. Liverpool won’t sell interesting to see if he comes back from another year.

Lee Camp – a must in my eyes as Smithy needs someone to keep him on his toes.

Other positions – an experienced central defender and a ball winner in the midfield.

Any other player you think would fit?

I can’t remember looking forward to a game as much as I am Sunday’s. Bring on the PARTY!! This is better than promotion! I don’t think we’ve ever had a season where we’ve actually escaped relegation, have we?
