Team for League 1

[wayne_r]

So who do we think we will be able to retain for next season in League 1 - I think sadly several players may leave to continue playing in the Championship

It might be more who do we want to retain after this season. 
 

I would keep the nucleus off 

butty 

roberts

cox 

lepori 

Waterworth 

lloyd 

hatton 

nash 

Brickhill

gregson 

brogan 

hope 

would sign Micheal if he was going as well but I reckon as you say we may lose a couple 

[wayne_r]

I think we will do well to retain all the players in your list - I noticed no Hansen - so does this mean Jack is leaving at the end of this season ?

[Mark]

Sorry this is my personal choice, think Hanson has been with a number of years now and had the one good season alongside Fairclough, really don’t think our half backs have clicked this year so would be looking for new ones 

[wayne_r]

I agree on the half back situation this season - but I put that down to the fact that ball distribution has been really slow and hence its difficult to create openings - I do think Hansen will go to another Championship club and I also think there will be a queue of clubs looking to sign him  

I think Ridyard and Hansen combination worked really well for the first few games - then I think opposition wised up and closed our play down. Of course without Hatten for most of the season meant our pack rarely dominated and therefore didn't create a platform for the half backs..............

Anyway, next season is new challenge

I was looking at the official website and thought it was strange there was no acknowledgement that we had been relegated. 

It's a very bland site....good news only allowed plus match reports.

I assume or hope the club has been planning for league 1 so it would be good to hear frim them. Apologies if they have said something 

Relegation at some point was going to happen - we couldn't defy gravity for ever. C'est la vie.
