Perhaps we should be hoping that WBA get promoted to the prem. as it would give us more chance of getting Morton back next season. I doubt they see him being ready for the prem. and as we have moved up a division and he has appeared to enjoy being with us we must then have a good chance.

if it was the Championship a good chance. But he will probably play for WBA for remainder of this season and then see how he does. Should be interesting!

GIVE MARK MARSHALL A NEW CONTRACT.
So much this. Seemed to be able to beat full backs with ease.

Came on and did the job well. His simple pass to Hoskins was class who put it away with aplomb. The thing is that the Exeter full backs were not up to much. Sterner tests ahead?

I think we should do everything we can to keep the XI who played the last two games, including loanees.
Marshall also deserving of a new deal.
Build from there and replace as appropriate.

I doubt it very much, and he cannot represent WBA in the play-offs if they drop into it.

KC will have a busy day tomorrow with 18 player's contracts expiring. They are Cornell, Hall-Johnson, Turnbull, J.Williams, Harriman, McCormack, S.McWilliams, Hoskins, Anderson, Marshall, Oliver, A.Williams, Pollock, Whaler, Newell, Hughes, c.McWilliams, and Lashley. I can see several being offered new contracts but with some it may depend in which division we are playing. Under contract for next season we have Arnold, Martin, Watson, Lines, Adams, Warburton, Roberts and Johnston. Goode and Smith are contracted for 2 more seasons.
I think one of the issues here is that some of the players who are still in contract are the weakest and the ones that should be moved on . For example , Smith , Lines , Martin and Warburton . It’s questionable if these are division 2 standard let alone division 1 . McCormack is a difficult one . He should really only be offered a new contract on a pay per play basis .

Broadly I agree with you and credit for mentioning the elephant in the room - McCormack. I wouldn't offer a renewal as he's the past and we need to back the younger players. He's done a fine job for us but he doesn't last 90 minutes generally and has missed a lot of games. Curle has been using Smith to replace Oliver when he's started to flag. Is this how it needs to be or is Oliver carrying a minor injury he can manage from game to game and recover from now ? Oliver is certainly pivotal to all we do going forward. On the evidence of the playoff final I'd favour Marshall over Adams. That's only one game though and Marshall had the considerable advantage of playing against a side that appeared to have lost it's way and mostly only had 10 players on the pitch. It all depends on the Budget of course. It would be great to keep Wharton, Turnbull, Arnold and Goode together but three of those could well not be here next season (Goode - probably our most marketable asset, Turnbull out of contract and Wharton not ours anyway). I'd want to keep Hoskins and the younger lads with potential. Harriman is a keeper at the right price as well. Morton would be an excellent signing and delight everyone. Perhaps Curle has a rabbit or two to pull out of his hat. We are after all a League One side now.

As I understand things it’s no surprise we don’t know whose staying or going as technically we are managerless as Keith Curle was only contracted to June 30th and the fact a new deal hasn’t been signed suggests he’s off elsewhere....

I took it from interviews with Curle that they were waiting for the season to be over before sorting out his contract then they would follow that with the players. As Curle said it was unfair for players to know their options without knowing who the manager was. I would be suprised if he goes elsewhere unless KT doesn't offer him a new deal. It's his first promotion and I would have thought he would like to see where he can take us to.

KC is doing player interviews this week, I assume from that that he's staying?

Curle's interview after the match on Quest suggested that he was excited by the prospect of making the Cobblers a top half of League 1 side and he would be looking for another promotion.
It sounds like it's down to the Chairman to offer something appropriate.

That's the impression I got as well.
