Jacob Bland’s status remains unclear. Chris Phillips described him as on loan from Southend as recently as January. When he joined Concord in September Chris Phillips reported that he was unable to sign because of the embargo. If he signed a deal in between I haven’t seen that reported. He’ll be one to look out for in pre-season to see if he still here.
The Centre of Excellence is no more.This will be run by the Community Foundation. Any remaining players aren’t registered to the club.
The players not struck out were seen in pre-season so presumably remain

The club have been weirdly quiet.Any news regarding where we are with Jack Wood?
Month by month?
It’s possible that some of them are on loan deals. There’s been no official announcements so it’s all guess work!Just looking at some of those release. Archie McGonigle is playing for Ramsgate, Oscar Jones has moved to Hullbridge Sports. Zak Hammond at Deal Town
Zak Hammond looks permanent? https://dealtownfc.co.uk/news/2024/New-Under-23-side-for-next-season-13-05-24.phpIt’s possible that some of them are on loan deals. There’s been no official announcements so it’s all guess work!
Someone hasn’t been reading the Loan watch thread!Louis Bragg has also joined Hullbridge Sports
I was at the after party last night and Jack was the only one missing. No news on him but I suspect he'll be going.The club have been weirdly quiet.
I suspect we had a one year option that was picked up but not announced.
Hasn't Bridge triggered an extension in his current deal - so it would just be a 1yr extension rather than 1yr + 1yr option? Unless we offer a completely new contract.What many of us think we need and what Kev things we need are likely two different things.
Expect us to retain the vast majority of this squad. He’s very loyal, most are under contract and will feel we’ve only narrowly fallen short, so only requires a few additions, not a big rebuild.
Don’t expect Golding or Goodliffe to return. We need a dominant and physically imposing centre half to partner Taylor, with Crowther as backup.
Waldron & Wood are gone. Would be surprised if we reach agreements to cancel any under contract. Can be an expensive approach. Not the approach COSU will take imo.
Expect us to offer Ralph and Bridge 1 +1 year deals, with triggers.
We are crying out for a goalscoring number 9. Bonne (especially with a full preseason under his belt) may offer more to squad than Walker, Hopper and Kendall but may be sacrificed depending on budgets so we can secure someone more likely to score 10-20 goals. That may be a loanee for the season, if so we need to have learnt our lesson with Pepple, who was recalled and left us weaker
Hadn’t seen that confirmed. You may be correct. 1 year the right length from our side, we have overdone it previously with a few imo.Hasn't Bridge triggered an extension in his current deal - so it would just be a 1yr extension rather than 1yr + 1yr option? Unless we offer a completely new contract.
With Bonne I wouldn't give him a year because he's better than the others we have - that might be true, but imho it's not the comparison. It's is he better than what the alternatives are?id sadly look to replace bridge and let him go, been underwhelming a majority of this year. id give ralph another year with a club option and tbf id give bonne a year as i think he is better than what we have..
looking at the 2026ers id prob look to lock in KAF and maybe harry taylor now, but the rest see how the year goes!
