Tough on Pinchard and Parsons, two good players and both here for around 10 years but there's a lot of competition in their positions. Not the best time to be a left back here, as Parsons is, with Bennett and Cunningham (and Smith) in the first team squad plus Bagan and Martin both impressing out on loan this season. TOBW will be disappointed about Pinchard but central midfield is another area that's well covered at first team and under-23 level. Not a right back in sight though, I wonder what the plan is there?

Looks like Aaron Bolger, Mark Harris, James Waite, Tom Sang and Ciaron Brown will all be here next season along with most of Bellamy's title winning Academy lads. Steve Morison didn't get to spend much time with the under-23s after taking over but it looked like he meant business, time will tell. If there are going to be cutbacks here next season then bringing some of those lads through might become a short term necessity rather than the (very) long term project it usually is here.
