With Omar and Donovan both moving on. They were the main way we played. Therefore is Matt going to continue with the same tactics with new players, or will he change the tactics. Of course all will be revealed over the next few months.

Not really surprised at any of those. Would think Randall and Bugiel had indicated they were off. They’ve played a huge part in getting us to and keeping us at this level. The goals are more than replaceable. The defensive side that Bugiel brings will be hard to find with someone else in that position. It was key to our system. Certainly recruiting the right people and whether we can play the same way without him is going to determine how we go next season. Will be interesting where they end up. As ever thanks to all for their services. A good bunch. I think they are relying on Kylian. I’d be surprised if they are. Surely he would have got more game time/experience under his belt this season if that were the case. I thought his performance at Northampton in the 2nd half as sub might have been a springboard to more minutes but it didn’t really materialise. Hopefully he keeps developing for us.

I am surprised at Cobi and Randel. Up front has been a bit toothless at times this year so I was half expecting wholesale changes up front.
Cobi has been used as a sub essentially, who has been able to get more games in due to bad injuries but he has done very well. Perhaps he knows when John is back he will be on the bench and would like first team football next year. Randel must be talking to other teams.
Omar and Wilson have worked so hard for this club and have both been fantastic for Sutton but perhaps Mat wants to refresh things, or rather than offer them more money for a new contract would rather take a punt with some other options..
With Randel and Ajiboye gone we are very bare on the wings so I expect we are hard at work to replace them. Its going to be a very interesting summer.
Maybe there could be one or two from the Academy coming up.

Did Harry Beautyman extend his contract?

Matt dropped a heavy hint as to who would be here next season with his team selection on Saturday. Ten of the starting Xi will be back next year - only the on-loan David will not be. I suspect that some of those on the bench or not even in the squad on Saturday already knew what was happening to them.

Well, those who wanted us to have a different forward line will be getting what they wanted, I think.
I'd assume (as paz has said) that Coby didn't want to go back to essentially being third pick center half. I'd also guess that Lovatt has gone as he's still too far back in the midfield pecking order for his liking. He's a loss to us, imo. I'm sorry to see Donny go as I rate him , on the basis of his overall game. But it does remove the quandry of the striker who rarely scores. Randall I have mixed feelings about. Bugiel is probably the biggest loss. Or his absence will probaby cause the biggest change (again, echoing others). That's the change that we really need to get right.

Our record fee received would have been for Efan, with add ons I think it came to about 180k , so I think it may be wishful thinking to assume David set a new record (I had retired by then so I don’t know) Just going by the official site Dave

The only one I’m surprised about is Randal, must be talking to other clubs. Me thinks Matt is doing the right thing because we need freshening up especially up top we’re we have really struggled and also the wide midfield centre midfield. So it will be interesting to see what happens and also that Matt is determined to get it right and move us forward as a club. ⚽️⚽️⚽️

Gutted about Omar. A huge loss in my view

I’m assuming Bugiel and Randall have got deals lined up and made it known that they wanted to leave. My suspicion is that OB will go to someone like Gillingham. Shame, as I like OB and he’ll be missed. Randall is an odd one for me. On his day he can be very good, capable of scoring good goals, but he’s so right-footed and predictable in most that he does. If he had a left foot he’d be playing at a higher level; that said, I suspect he might get the chance at a L1 club. Whether or not he can succeed at that level remains to be seen.
I’m genuinely surprised about Rowe and Lovatt. Maybe Rowe has a better offer as well, otherwise I’d have thought the club would have wanted him to stay. Lovatt is still young and had done OK earlier in the season. I’d have thought management would have wanted to bring down the average age of the squad too.
Wilson - a shame, but you can’t have a non-scoring (almost) “striker”. That said, it wouldn’t surprise me to see him get another chance at L2 level.
Thomas and Gambin were always going to go. Contributed basically nothing.
Obviously we have not yet seen anything of Kasimu, but clearly there will have to be plenty of incomings.

Question. Further to the Question of Harry signing or extending his contract. Nas Ali signed or extended his??

Well he might not be who people expect to be the man that does the biz, but we obtained Ajiboye in the same way, only this chap is supposed to be a bit more of a fox in the box, who knows. Though to jump from Nat league South to league 2 is a jump. Does not look like Topi is going anywhere either.
