A more pertinent question might be who won’t be out of these that all expire this year....

GK

Ted Smith - 2019 (option until 2020)
Josh Bexon - 2019 (on loan at Harlow)

DEF:
John White - 2019
Stephen Hendrie - 2019 (option until 2020)
Michael Turner - 2019 (option until 2020)
Tom Clifford - 2019 (option until 2020)
Ben Coker - 2019 - Out for the season

MIDFIELD :
Michael Klass - 2019 (option until 2020)
Renei Batlokwa - 2019
Harry Phillips - 2019
Sam Barratt - 2019 (option until 2020) - Out for the season
Lewis Gard - 2019 (option until 2020) - Out for the season
Isaac Hutchinson - 2019 (option until 2020)

FWD:
Simon Cox - 2019 (option until 2020)
Amadou Ba - 2019 (option until 2020)
Norman Wabo - 2019
Emile Aquah - 2019 (on loan at Harlow)
 
Personally I think we’ll activate the options on the following :-

Ted Smith
Stephen Hendrie
Tom Clifford
Michael Klass
Sam Barrett
Lewis Gard
Simon Cox

Offer new deals to :-

John White (1 year)
Renei Batlowka (1 year with an option)
Emile Aquah (1 year with an option)
Isaac Hutchinson (2 years with an option)

That leaves :-

Bexon
Turner
Coker
Phillips
Ba
Wabo

Who I’m unsure about....and may depend on finances / actual ages (can they still play 23s) or will they break through inside 8 months....

Clifford (already gone)

Negotiated exits (we will try IMO):

Kightly
McLaughlin
Robinson

Which leaves us concentrating on wingers and a left back in the summer transfer market. We would also need another centre half and I think we’ll try to get Moore but that depends on whether Bristol City offer him a new contract or not. Let’s see.

WTF?

ps Taylor Moore signed a year extension before joining us on loan.
 
With Robinson on loan and having scored 2 in 3. I started to think of what could be trimmed from the budget. With a lot of key players tied down and a number of young players making their mark it feels like a better opportunity to strengthen compared to other seasons.

GK
Ted Smith and Josh Bexon both released. It's a shame for both. With Bishop making the strides he has and Seaden the next prospect, keeping either would be holding Seaden back.

DF
Hendrie released and Turner to retire. White is worth a year extension in my opinion and Coker a year with an additional year based on fitness or appearances. Given that LB has been a troubled position Cliffold to be offered a deal.

MF
McLaughlin and Kightly to be listed for loan or transfer with the latter potentially to be released by mutual consent, although I think it's fair to say there has been more effort shown from Kightly in the last few games. Barratt and Gard to have their extensions activated and it's tough to say for Batlokwa and Phillips. It wouldn't cost the club a lot to retain them.

ST
Robinson could very well be in the shop window for Swindon. If he carries on there could be a permanent deal on the table. Wabo is anyone's guess... He'll probably be released.

Coker has been a great player for us give him another year to help his recovery

@manor15 Sam, I may have missed this, but what is the significance of the italics?

Of those out of contract this year, this is what I would suggest:
Smith - release
Bexon - further year
White - further year
Hendrie - release
Turner - release
Coker - much as it pains me, release
Clifford - further year
Klass - further year
Batlokwa - release
Phillips - release
Barratt - further year
Gard - further year
Ba - release
Wabo - release
Aquah - further year
 
What this really highlights is just how many of this dreadful lot we might get stuck with. Sigh.

From the out of contract players for me:

Keep

Clifford
Klass
Gard
Barratt
Wabo
Acquah

Release

Smith
Bexon
White
Hendrie
Turner
Coker
Batlokwa
Phillips
Ba
 
Having this lot next season regardless of the league we are in is pretty horrifying:
Stephen McLaughlin - 2020
Michael Kightly - 2020
Sam Mantom - 2020 (option until 2021)
Timothee Dieng - 2020 (option until 2021)
Luke Hyam - 2020 (option until 2021)
