In terms of any incomings - we really should not raise expectations much beyond last season. Suspect mid-table mediocrity will become the norm from here on.

Bloody hell that's cheerful !
I think we should expect top seven but until they make it two - or three up as League Two it's obviously going to be incredibly difficult to go straight up.
As nearly all teams professional and the standard going up every year it should be the EFL League Three.The quality is so much better now than when we were first in The Conference.

What is it with Johnson, is he the president of the short footballers society, if there is any truth in the rumour, Kinsella is only 5 foot 9, for a back four player thats a midget.

He could be 5’ nothing, as long as he’s good at football

An Academy is a must. Having parents needing to pay is ridiculous.
Both South Devon College and Torquay Academy have the facilities required. Isn't Chris Todd already in charge of the under 18s and connected to the college, could he take charge of this as well?

Even if we start low key, low budget, all it takes is one find and we're away. Maybe we should be checking out Exeters' set up and replicating it on a smaller scale.

He's a left back not a centre back so doesn't really matter that much. Brian McGlinchey was about 5'7" and he was excellent.

BREAKING

Players that have not been offered a contract are Klaidi Lolos, Louie Slough, Scott Piper, Chiori Johnson, Joe Felix, Dan Holman, Marcin Brzozowski and Jake Andrews. We appreciate all that they have done for the Club, and wish them well for the future,” said Johnson.

The Gaffer also went on to confirm that thirteen players from last season’s squad have been offered new deals for the forthcoming campaign.

“Ali Omar, Dean Moxey, Asa Hall, Dan Martin, Tom Lapslie, Olaf Koszela, Alex Moyse, Danny Wright, Ben Wynter, Shaun MacDonald, Joe Lewis, Armani Little and Connor Lemonheigh-Evans have all been made offers of a new contract. Mark Halstead, Gabby Rogers and Keelan O’Connell are still in contract.

Shocked that lapslie wasn't on a two year deal

Jesus christ , Gaby Rogers is still in contact.

Shocked that Klaidi Lolos has not been offered a contract
Argyle were urging us to ‘take a chance on him’ saying "he could go and easily sign for a League Two team" and that "“he can be the best player in the National League if he really wants to." Well, either he did not want too or we were duped by the Plymouth manager.

The three players under contract are a waste of time and show bad decision making in the past.
Surprised that Olaf is on the offer list as he must have run out of chances by now.

and O'connell, their agents are pretty good!!!

Not sure I agree with giving Wright another year and Hall, think their legs aren't there for top of the division

Guy Henderson reporting Little and LHE have turned down their contracts

So basically 9/10 of the first team have not signed a new contract as yet, we have got rid of some dead weight but not much. surprised we have offered wright a new contract unless as others have said we use him as an impact sub, and you can tell that Koszela's family still have huge sway at plainmoor , how he has earned a new contract is beyond me.

What chances ? You mean 15 minutes at the end of a couple of games ? Lot of hysteria on other site about Rogers on a two year deal - who says ? Thought he signed a one year deal last August/September ?

Is there really any big surprise on that list. The question is how many are going to take the offer of a new contract and when their deadline for signing is. Couldn’t see that mentioned anywhere
