Planning for next season 19:24 - Apr 27 with 4827 views | StudiousDale | Using Lama's squad list from the start of the season, I've had a look to see who we have contracted for next year. I'm unsure of the status of January signings like Lynch, so if anyone could advise that'd be great. Personally, I'd keep all of those under contract, and prioritize deals for Lillis, Rafferty, Bennett, Hery, Allen, Done plus try and secure O'Connell on loan again. That'd give us a core squad of 15 (I think!?) so we could be looking at quite a turnover in playing staff to take us up to 23 or so. I can't wait to see who Hilly has lined up! GK 1. Josh Lillis (Out of contract) 21. Robbie Thomson (Out of contract) Defence 6. Oliver Lancashire (1 year) 5. Ashley Eastham (1 year) 25. Michael Rose (1 year) 2. Joe Rafferty (Out of contract) 3. Rhys Bennett (Out of contract) 17. Scott Tanser (Out of contract) 27. Darcy O'Conner (Out of contract) 22. Jack O'Connell (End of loan) 33. Sean McGinty (End of loan) Midfield 12. Matthew Lund (1 year) 40. Ian Henderson (1 year) 7. Peter Vinceti (1 year) 4. Peter Cavanagh (Out of contract) 14. Bastien Hery (Out of contract) 24. Jamie Allen (Out of contract) 26. Joel Logan(Out of contract) 16. Matt Done (Out of contract) 15. George Porter (Out of contract) 20. BBM (Out of contract) 28. Callum Camps (Out of contract) 8. Jason Kennedy (End of loan) Strikers 39. Joe Bunney (1 year) 9. George Donnelly (Out of contract) 11. Scott Hogan (1 year) 10. Reece Gray (Out of contract) 19. Craig Lynch ?? 29. Graham Cummins (End of loan) [Post edited 27 Apr 2014 19:30]

Planning for next season on 00:15 - Apr 28 with 4262 views | love_the_dale | I agree with your list except I have the following - Steve Collis has also been on a player-coach contract - finishing this summer. Callum Camps' contract runs until 2016. Godwin Abadaki is also on contract, finishing this summer. Craig Lynch is on non-contract terms. | ![](/images/avatars/5207.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads
Planning for next season on 13:23 - May 2 with 3950 views | fitzochris | A lot depends on whether Blackburn agree to loan us O'Connell again (which I doubt, given the positive reviews he has garnered). This would leave an obvious gap at centre half that would need to be filled. George Elokobi has just been released by Wolves. He can play at left-back as well as centre half and is in the prime of his career. Oh yeah, and he was probably on in excess of £15k a week at Wolves. Scrub that. And so begins the need for Hilly to work his usual magic when it comes to League One recruitment... | ![](/images/avatars/1214.gif) |

Cant wait to start the close season, basking in the after glow of promotion and just relaxing on a beach somewhere (Turkey next Saturday actually). Whilst we are recharging our batteries and enjoying summer barbecues and cricket matches Hilly will be doing his best to recruit the right players and get the squad up and running for the start of the new season. I don't think managers get any proper time away from the game these days but if Hilly has any sense he will get away somewhere sunny with his family for a fortnight and turn off his mobile. | ![](/images/avatars/1233.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

That's a decent point. Unless they're planning to draft him into their first XI a season in L1 would do Jacko the world of good - and us! Similar situation to when West Brom loaned our Craig back to us due to playing at a higher level [Post edited 2 May 2014 13:50]

What about Kevin Long ? If we lose O'Connell (back to Blackburn) we could make a cheeky move for Long. Surely Burnley will be looking to recruit from outside now they've hit the dizzy heights of Premier League football. If Long wasn't playing in the Championship, I can't see him getting his chance next season with Burnley. | ![](/images/avatars/5895.gif) |

Marvin Morgan is also another option who is at Plymouth. [Post edited 2 May 2014 14:51]

Elokobi has signed for Oldham. Either he's taken a massive pay cut or they're offering Champaign on a beer budget. [Post edited 8 Aug 2014 10:58]
