Good rebuild during the summer,
But it will cost the club, better player cost more
But a few will be shown the door :-
AJ
AK
JS
BP
Are a few I think will go,any others that are out of contract in the summer, but in DA we trust

He'd basically become a cheat code for League Two, and would probably paper over cracks for any League Two side. While the January departure was unexpected (rude), he was never likely to be with us in the long term and would probably have been able to angle himself a move to a promotion chasing L1 club or a Championship club in the summer.
We now have to develop as a side in creating chances without him and not being able to have him occasionally do something silly good. I wasn't able to watch yesterday's game but I was really happy to see if looked like we created a lot of chances, albeit against a side that weren't great. Everyone in the squad (barring Lavelle) is on a one year contract, so it will be interesting to see who can prove themselves to DA as players who are able to help take the club forward.

Loans are bitter sweet. You get a very good footballer but they are never yours and you can lose them in a blink of an eye. You can't build a squad around them but you do need them to sprinkle a bit of stardust on a squad.
I watch the interviews with the current squad and I always think what a good set of lads we have at the moment They are always smiling and give good accounts of themselves.

Whatever the case, you’d imagine the vast majority of our squad would be delighted to re-sign at the end of the season after what we have achieved so far this campaign, especially the ones like Wildig for example, who have signed plenty of extensions with us when they knew we’d be in a relegation fight.
I think it’s important to remember how the manager operates. He’s not the type to be announcing to the opposition which players are injured or what he thinks his opposition’s weaknesses are before a game for example. He also doesn’t strike me as the type who would renew contracts before the season finale, which may divert players’ attention elsewhere when we need full focus on getting results, or the situation may change so his decision on a player may change as well - for example if we do go up, you’d assume he might be more willing to dispose of more players. To me, all of this leads to an assumption that he’s either already got it under control, or will have it under control come the end of the season and into the summer.
He’s had contract experience 5 different leagues across the UK, so I trust that he will make the right decisions at the right time!

Did Carlos sign a new 1 year contract last Summer with an option of another year ?
Back to Derek , I thought it was interesting that Michael Duff in his pre match interview was predicting Morecambe's team and formation , but he never mentioned McAlinden !
