Scored twice against AFC. The guy's a legend.

God knows what will happen with Devoy. I think he's under contract for another year, so I'd give him a pre season to see. I think he's done alright at Swindon, so they may want him back.

In the most part a "Miss" so far, but his maiden year was a terrible environment to develop and play in. I'd like him to be a success here and he without a doubt has the talent, I am just not sure about his temperament and whether he's somebody we want to put the trust in, particularly for another promotion chasing campaign next year.

We cannot keep players around who haven't hit the mark for two years.
We brought Kemp back and it didn't work. We need to realise that these players just aren't suited to us, or are more comfortable elsewhere.

It's like being in a relationship that doesn't work. It might work with someone else, and later down the line you may rekindle and try again but the same cracks appear. What works for you, doesn't work for them. The environment, the previous memories and emotions etc... just be brave and let go

Devoy, Burns, Kemp - 3 players who've left, done well, and done poorly here.
O'Hora, Harvie, Tucker - 3 players who've been poor consistently and fragile from previous disappointments. That's 6 players in a squad who've been here long enough to out it right and have failed to do so.

Time to be brave and let these be put to the past.

Spot on. Psychologically for some of those involved in 2021/22 it must be difficult to be here still. Yes they've under performed but 4 managers haven't got them going, a fresh start is probably best. I can see most of them having respectable L1/L2 careers going forward, just probably not here.

It's a make or break pre season for a lot of players. This will be the last year of their contracts and I can't imagine we'll be willing to buy them out, nor can I see anybody paying transfer fees, so staying in League 2 we need to see players like Devoy, Burns (when he's back), Tucker etc really step up and show something.

Nah, gone on too long. Bin or we'll keep complaining about the same things for another year

We have too many of these small attacking midfield players. Even Devoy was playing this role at Swindon. I hope we play a pressing game next season and only keep those with the speed, stamina and strength to keep going. I doubt that is Burns or Devoy.

How though? Who's coming in to pay the money for them? Certainly not us to release them.
