Fitzpatrick, Connelly and East. Fitzpatrick poor injury record but really good player and we seen that in a few game under WG. Connelly done well but after January constantly played out of position might encourage him to look elsewhere. East done well but I would like him to resign and play left back. But he was signed as a striker but going forward he may be better as a defender. To answer the question if they are taking the time maybe they have other options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madton Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Hopefully we are speaking to Connelly, good player and we don't have a player like him in the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer the question if they are taking the time maybe they have other options.Connolly checked out weeks before the end of the season. He'll definitely be gone. The only time Fitzpatrick has looked like the player we hoped we'd get has been under WG. You'd like to think he'd give himself another year under WG as a result. East did well for us and I hope he re-signs. I'll be surprised if he has loads of offers elsewhere. That's twice you've said you want him at LB. What have you seen to suggest he could play there? He isn't the quickest and he's only just been converted to CB. It would be a bit much expecting him to go on to another position surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on the ball and would give physicality to the back line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Obligatory reminder that resign and re-sign have very different meanings. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Obligatory reminder that resign and re-sign have very different meanings. It really does grate on me this one, purely because we're football fans ffs. However, folk continue to get it wrong and I've re-signed myself to the fact some folk will never get it correct... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely end of this week/ start of next. Current contracts expire on 31 May as far as I know. If there's no news by then I guess the four who've yet to re-sign won't be doing so unless we go back to them with much improved deals to those that they have already been offered, which, judging by the Josh Rae case, I doubt they would get. It will be a true indication of the ambition of the BOD if all four were to walk given that we supposedly have money sitting doing nothing in the bank.

It will be a true indication of the ambition of the BOD if all four were to walk given that we supposedly have money sitting doing nothing in the bank. I think we did give Josh Rae a good deal, he’s just obviously going to get better elsewhere after the season he’s had. I’m very critical of the BoD but completely disagree here. If Connelly for example gets an offer from a Play off chasing team in the Championship he’s not going to stay here even if it is the same wages. And think the money we have “sitting in the bank” is drastically overstated. We need a new pitch which is going to cut a huge chunk of that and are expecting a heavy loss, we can’t afford to be offering stupid wages to try and compete unfortunately. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Same. Never shown anything to suggest he's a striker. If he was to come back to play as a striker I wouldn't want him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I'd suggest Cameron at CB but I remember his defensive efforts away to Arbroath at the end of the season. Agreed.
