For those who can't see:

Under contract:
Stead, Stevens, Pritch, Blower, Cropper, Gilmore, Kabamba, Hall-Johnson, Brunt

Options exercised:
Olwuo, Collinge, Kanu

Loans returned:
Thompson, Hartigan, O'Donkor, JMD, Keeley

In talks:
Coker, Gorman, Okimo, Feeman

Released:
Wynter, Senior, Hooper, Walker, Diarra, Granville

Thanks for posting this. No surprises in the released section.
Our front line is still very much there unless Idris gets sold.
Still think Okimo might be worth 1 more season as player/coach. Would like to see Freeman stay and benefit from a proper pre-season. Gorman also. Coker is ok, but if he declines a new deal, we can replace him.
Would love to get Hartigan permanently. Unlikely we'll get Keeley back unless it's a season long loan. Clearly we are in the market for a new keeper. Most of our transfer activity will centre around the defence and midfield.

Okimo only defender who could stay fit... Our warrior should be player / coach.

Need RHJ to step up big time. Disappointed with his contribution this season.

Shame to see Walker move on. May regret that decision - very good keeper at National League. If Ashmore leaves Borehamwood is he still at the level he was a couple of seasons back?

We need some more dynamic players in the team. A speedy winger to take sole burden off Kanu

[Doyley]

Shame about Laurie, rest is ok. I personally hope Freeman is not an option for next season

[ninestein]

If we could find a tricky winger to play on the right, that would give other teams a real problem. All very well doubling up on one player, but if play gets switched to the other side...

I suspect that was the plan for Senior but sadly he never fulfilled his promise. Would imagine we’ll have another go with somebody else.

Where's Matejko?

Good point, I wonder if he's been forgotten or poached.

[DSM]

Surprised we gave stevens a straight 18 month, RHJ needs to step up next year, other than that those staying are all good.

Thought we would have had Oluwo on a 2+1 not a 1+1 so if he has a strong start to the season we may want to try and tie him down

Expect at least one of Danny or Idris to move on, think the latter is slightly more likely

Hope Gorman stays even as a really useful squad player, suspect if asked to stay under that condition he will leave which will be a pity

Big thanks to all those leaving especially Wynter who was in demand when no-one else as sought after as him wanted to join us and Lawrie who was a breath of fresh air as a player and person who passionately cared about our club

Got forward line (Kabamba and Stead) ready for next season anyway.
New keeper needed (Maybe 2)

[Tuesds]

Kabamba and Stead is a very good start for a forward line. The squad was much stronger once we got O’Donkor in and had another option/cover up front. At least one more striker needed, whether on loan or a permanent striker.

Agree it's sad re: Walker. He was Hendonesque in his passion both for the club and winding up opposing fans. He was at the heart of many a great win over the past two seasons.

He deserved another crack in the playoffs in my opinion but since Keeley had little to do other than pick the ball out of the net, maybe it spared him an embarrassing send off.

Who’s Jack Blower?

Looking at the list, contractually obliged on a lot of the players doesn't necessarily means DB has them in his plans. Interesting to see where the axe falls!

[CrawleyBee]

Gutted about Walker, really thought he was going to be one of the clubs greats.

[Norfolkbee]

I wouldn't be surprised if Walker and Ashmore swap clubs.
