What we don't about these players are the contracts they are on and what they would demand to resign I suspect both Isa and Winterstein are on decent money in which case it would effect any decision i.e. could we get better for the same money. I know Ben wants to stay and I suspect Magraff does too again it all depends on what money they are on.

A few months ago you could have easily said 4 or 5 players should be cut irrespective of their salaries but for Magraff and Isa are starting to pick their games up.

Frank has offers elsewhere and I suspect he'll depart. I think I'd keep him if possible.

I'd release Briscoe, Isa (though I feel sorry for them both) and keep the others.

Is Pickersgill signed up for next year?

I am sure Pickgersgill signed a new contract but unsure how long for to be honest.I would get rid of Isa,Briscoe,Leuluai , and Cross is retiring.Hock is replaced by Tickle so we need 4 or 5 new faces added.Ben Davies is gone now and there will be room on the cap if get rid of these players.

Sadly I suspect as Vikingman has indicated elsewhere the salary cap is not the limit we are working to, given the slow improvement in crowds our playing budget is likely to be below the cap, but you would still think the salaries of Briscoe, Cross, Hock and even Isa (if he goes) would yield enough money to make a few decent signings. I suppose you have got to factor in to that any additional salary expenditure that has been necessary to retain Hanbury and Phelps (or any of the youngsters who were on modest salaries previously).

Ben has, to my mind, improved over the last few games and is beginning to make the midfield breaks we know he is capable of.

Sorry but I don't believe that Magraff or Willie should be retained. After a "not too bad" game against Wigan Willie had a poor game on Monday. Magraff doesn't realise that shoulder charges are banned.

Very sad our attendances have not improved but the new directors have contributed to the Danny Tickle signing.The lottery or dream ticket helps too and is VIQI still available?I feel we need a few offers for the final few games, or some marketing seen as the football season is over?
