The situation with Leake is just odd, been out injured since last year so why he didn't go back to Hull doesn't make sense.
I think Wood will stay, though wudnt be surprised if 2 or 3 players under contract leave as well.

not seen enough of Leake really. Remember that horror showing of his. Think it was Salford at home? I’m hoping wood will stay

From the other site ITK. "Robson/Pike/Starbuck/Hughes/Jolley all told they've been let go already". Expectation Yarney and the young CB's will follow.

If we want 3 keepers as Adkins stated then slightly surprised at Robson as suggests we are going to have to pay decent money for a back up (unless there is another Academy kid)?

ADD, there’s Alex Brown who’s an academy keeper and went to play in Jersey for a bit. No idea if he’s any good or still around next year.

There's another I completely forgot about. Found this but nothing on him, from last May?

We are delighted to announce that one of our goalkeepers, Pierce Roche, has been provided the opportunity to train with the Tranmere Rovers First Team this week.​

We never announced the signing of Louis Lacey a young full back who spent the season on loan in Wales.

Good news about Wood. A one year deal shouldn’t cost us much but he was decent on his day and gives some continuity at the back alongside Turnbull and Davies and hopefully LOC

A pleasant surprise that O'Connor has signed, it says for him and Wood signed till at least June 2025 so maybe there's an option of an extension

Lee O’Connor, one-year deal. I wasn’t expecting that. Very pleased as that’s our back four retained, although I’d hope we might get a better left back.
Quite most surprised. Odd he didn't demand longer as his value probably won't rise now. Must be plenty of Div 1 who would be improved by him. Turnbull remains an odd one other than that a decent defence is secure

Didn't account for LOC staying, if JT stays and Dennis does; the equation of re-signing gets very low. Be amazed if we just let Norris walk, he may not sign so readily. I'd guess all others would sign given the option unless we go down the low development wage route.
I'll punt McAlear and Bele, the rest off bar maybe the very junior

Glad for LOC.
Wood is a squad place. I would be thinking that we could do with a better left back.
Especially if we want better quality in the back four.
Also another quality CB would be a priority as well.

Another quality CM and a sriker, that has twenty goals in him.

Of course, the question is, Have we got the pull, to get sufficient quality in?

BTW on YouTube tonight at 7.30, A Trip To The Moon, has a season review.

Also just posted that club took up option on Merrie with Lewis, Yarney and McAlear released
