I don't think Nadesan will ever score a lot of goals. From what I have seen he isn't that type of forward. If the plan is to play fast football on the deck then he is probably not the man, however if you want someone to hold the ball up then that is his game.
I would definitely keep Jordan Tunnicliffe as well. You don't go from being in the League 2 team of the year to released on a free in 12 months. Use the summer to get him fit and he can do a job.
He is also the one player we have who gets us back to front quickly and keeps it there. Once the ball is forward Nichols and Appiah are more effective but getting it up there is most of the battle. For that reason I hope he gets a new contract.
Tunnicliffe has had one season where he has struggled with injuries. For the rest of his career he has been almost ever present. I dont know if there is an underlying problem but I bet the club does. The Tunnicliffe from before this season is a no brainer to be offered a new deal but that's not to say he would accept it. I would be sorry to see him leave.

Spot on Jim re. what Nadderz does for the team. Kiernan was doing the same for Walsall, constantly beating our centre backs for pace on through balls. We need at least one of those type of players on the squad because there will always be days when the passing game gets stymied no matter how well we play and our midfielders will need a longer outlet. Don’t offload Nadderz until we have a good enough like for like replacement
We have been here before. No more website links or a ban could be in order. Yes it's out there, but it's also not right. How would you feel if everyone knew how much pocket money you get from your paper round?
Also it’s completely unverified so it leads to people forming wrongheaded opinions on players’ value for money when the info could be completely false

I have seen a couple of rumours that we may have the biggest transfer budget in the league this summer. If that is true I feel if we can sign a Dominic Telford or a Nicky Cadden that would send out a very strong statement that we mean business. Nadesan I feel could still be very useful potentially as an impact sub or to offer depth, especially if we suffer a similar sort of injury crisis as this term. But to be honest I don't think a front three of Nichols, Nadesan and Appiah will get you challenging for automatic promotion. We also need to invest in a right back even if we offer Davies a new deal as I personally don't think much of Francomb in that position and we need someone who's good at the defensive side. Arguably the same could apply to the left back role unless we can convince Southampton to loan Ferry to us again next season
A promotion team will usually have two good options for each position to cover for injuries and form variations. We've got to 12th with barely one in each position, sky's the limit!
So I’d say go with the first 4, plus 1 other? The 3 out on loan - be nice to see them as proper works in progress, i.e. out on loan again to get some proper experience, certainly Rodari. German seems to fallen completely out of favour.
Battle and German are out of contract at the end of the season and would expect both to move on, in my opinion neither are of the standard required for League football. Rodari still has another year left I think but to be honest I think it's probably best if we can try and move him on this summer, isn't starting for Dorking Wanderers (no surprise really considering how many Alfie Rutherford has scored this season) and unfortunately I just can't see him forcing his way back into the first team here next season. Hussain I agree might be worth sending out on loan for a bit next season, unless we get a reserve team sorted out
Seeing that the season has finished now, the most exciting or nerve wracking thing that happens next (depending on who you are) is when we find out which of the out-of-contract players are being kept on and who is going to be released. Could be a more significant one than previous years due to the recent takeover
I guess it will have to wait until a new manager is appointed before anything major happens.
If that’s the case then either a new manager will have to be appointed within the next 12 days or players (who have a years option) will be out of contract and we’ll be due no fee or compensation even if we do want to keep them.
