I think that’s more realistic, although I’d expect Richards to leave.
Not sure of the contract situation with Healey and Damour, but I’d expect them to be gone.
Tomlin is another you’d expect to go. Bogle and Madine too.
Wonder if we will get a promotion bonus off Sheff Utd for loaning him out ?

That's 11 players 8 who are currently in the first 11.
Whichever way you look at it that's major surgery required.
The club needs to decide if its a short term fix or a more fundamental change required.
My view is we seem to be in a good position but need a long term vision is needed....not sure this club has ever been up for this though
Thinking about it, only people we need worry about staying are Warnock and Madine. Both know how to get promoted. Was very nice of Warnock to send some Madine promotion magic to his boyhood club but we will need him next season.
I pretty much agree with most of the above. Harris and Richard have barely played at all in the last two seasons, and Connolly even less. The only one I disagree with is Madine, Sheff U won't want him we'll be lumbered with him, Tomlin and Bogle and a load of players we don't really want. A lot of which are the result of Warnock's crap signings.
As for Murphy and Reid going, mentioned above, I don't think anybody would want them, and if they did, not for what we paid for them. We are going to need about 12 players to fill gaps.
I also think it's time for Bamba to move on, he's 34 now. And let's face it Danny Ward looks good for about 15 minutes every 3 months! Sadly Manga will leave, and we'll be very lucky to keep hold of Etheridge.
So we'll be left with all the players we don't really want.
A squad of Smithies, Murphy, Peltier, Bennett, Morrison, Ralls, Holiett, Mendez-Laing, Murphy, Zohore, Ward, Madine, Tomlin, Bogle, Healey. Not very good is it?
Mind you, we could win our last two games and all will be OK.
I'd keep Ward, he's always looked decent for us
