I get that he is experienced and has been around the football scene for a long time but would be very surprised if McClure suddenly at 32 going on 33 years of age, becomes the regular goalscorer and dynamic striker we would all like to see.Would of moved away from him being a main player myself. Maybe he will be found a new role in the team if Parsons signs. Another announcement at 6pm apparently.

McClure and Parsons could be a Sandell and Pratt partnership. To me playing McClure and Fas never really worked.Don’t mind bits being dripped fed.The club will never get it right for everybody, remember they are volunteers.

Wouldn't have kept him myself. If the rumours of how much he was on when he signed were true hopefully he's took a pay cut, hasn't been good value for me personally.

Also, anyone else think the club is trying too hard with making a big deal of announcing every single player who is staying? Hate to criticise what like many roles at the club is a volunteer position (and it seems any criticism of the club isn't allowed in eyes of some on here) but can't we just release a retained list like normal clubs?

Careful you’ll upset Cooky, but agree we are announcing players that signed in March

Really encouraging to keep those two, Spokes was my player of the season and Mehew has always looked quality for us. Midfield pretty much sorted in my opinion with Spokes, Mehew, Evans and Bradbury.

Light at the back and on the wings with the current retained players though so ideally need to see some of Owen-Evans, Tyreke, Ed Williams, Haines, Eddie Jones or Amadi-Holloway kept on- presumably still 3 more days of 'retention week' though so am fairly optimistic about how we are looking.

Blimey! That came in a rush.  Delighted with all 3... especially the Big Man, but great to have Luke & Tyreke too. We have options and what looks like a settled side and very much GH's, too. Any recruitment news comes next, I assume?
