Re: Retained lists
Bit late to the party, but for my part the retained list was about what I expected. As with most people, I am puzzled that Pearce is being kept on and amazed that Palmer has been offered another contract.
Brown's hands have been tied by the terrible recruitment by Penn as a large part of the budget is tied up with players that he clearly doesn't rate (Gold, Phillips and Ox). In an ideal world, perhaps our leading scorer (Hemmo) and our player of the year (AMS) would have been kept on but eased towards being squad players and then two new younger forwards would be brought in (maybe Ebanks from Stratford for example). However, having Gold, Phillips (and to a lessor extent) Hall contracted for next season leaves it difficult to keep our two best forwards despite their advancing years. But losing them (particularly Hemmo as he can play in various positions) will be a mistake in my eyes as what guarantee is there that the new signings will be better? He still scored 15 last season in a higher level with virtually no midfield on the pitch.
One thing I disagree with is that we were defensively good last season. We were not, our centre backs were not good enough to be played in a four at the back system so we had to play 5 at the back with two defensive midfielders (loosely called midfielders apart from Shane) meaning that we often only had 3 attacking players on the pitch. Hardly any wonder we struggled to score or win at home!!
A big priority is to get in two centre backs that are good enough to play in a back four so we can get an extra attacking/creative player on the pitch - especially in the games at Aggborough.
One thing for sure, Brown has a really difficult task ahead. Teams like Brackley and Hereford already have a really strong base for next season and we are miles away from that.

Excellent news that. Made an immediate impact when he came and he had a decent season last season. Great news

Happy with Dibble re-signing. Nice to have a some stability in the GK department.

Re: Retained lists
Signed a two year deal, he would have been one of a very very small handful to attract some attention from the NL IMO. Think this itself shows a sign of intent.
