There's a strong nucleus of next seasons team already signed up, although one or two of those may still move on. Think McGee, Tom Davies, Mikey Davies, Hendry, Walker, Morris, Hawkes, Jennings Dennis and Taylor already on deals.
Of those out of contract Rhys Hughes and Hockenhull on loans to the end of the season are highly unlikely to return. Robson, Belehouan, Starbuck and Lacey have rarely or never made the bench so unless they start appearing in the remaining games think they'll be off too.
My thoughts on the rest;
Joe Murphy. Time to call it a day? Joe's barely featured this season though seems to be more involved in the coaching side and does count as homegrown UNDECIDED
Lee O'Connor. Steady at full-back though Adkins reluctant to use in a central midfield role. Probably got other offers KEEP
Dan Pike. Understandably struggled at left-back, but not wholly convinced in his natural position on the right. Squad player at best RELEASE
Jordan Turnbull. Rumoured he'd signed an extension but nothing confirmed. KEEP
Joe Yarney He's had a couple of steady showings filling in but hard to see as a first team regular UNDECIDED
Connor Wood. Missed in his recent absence. He might want to return down south. KEEP
Chris Merrie. The best of the next 3 in my view, but Adkins doesn't seem to rate him. Capable of being a squad player, but likely to get more football elsewhere UNDECIDED
Reece McAlear. Another disappointing season but Nigel seems to like. Squad player UNDECIDED
Paul Lewis. Doesn't contribute enough when picked RELEASE
Ousmane Kane. Has he done anything to activate his one year option? No idea, but he hasn't made the bench yet. RELEASE
Luke Norris. He is a decent target-man striker but on a high wage and has he done enough to earn a new deal after returning from injury? UNDECIDED
Harvey Saunders. His pace work-rate and habit of winning penalties are valuable assets at this level, probably just enough to compensate for his failings in front of goal. KEEP
Charlie Jolley. Seems to have dropped off the radar and despite getting some good goals notably the one at Mansfield probably not done enough for Rovers to take up his option. RELEASE
