Surely you have to earn a contract before you are given one. I just don't think he has earned it.
Also, If we have Murray, Forster, Davies and hopefully Owusu, what is the point of keeping him?

Slade back Tuesday who is going to be released?

He's a first year pro, they hardly ever get near the first team. It will be up to the management to decide how the players development is going and if they think they're going to make it.
It's just a bit strange that people are saying we should release a player that they've not seen play.

I think RS will put some of the players who are still under contract on the transfer list including Livermore , Dixon & Hawkins. Davies could be there early August if he doesn't do the business.

Gargan signed pro forms in January 2007. He made his debut at Bristol Rovers in April 2007.

Don't be silly, as he's a local lad he should get a contract as he may come good by the time he's 25.

Sam Gargan has obviously not impressed a great deal in training as when we were desperately short of players to play up front he was recalled from Lewes but not even put on the bench, which would suggest that he is a long way off of being actually considered for a first team spot even on the bench. We have both Hart and Owusu available to be given a contract plus Davies in front of him so where can he go with us.

Jarrett - Had a couple of ok games, plenty of poor ones, very ordinary, not particularly committed journeyman. Release.
Carole - Started off well but form completely collapsed, got further and further away from the team under Slade. Sadly release.
Mayo - Not sure whether he is injured or not. Not sure when McNulty is going to be back, but it probably won't be too long into the season, therefore I wonder if it's worth inviting him back to pre season just to see if he could cover short term. I guess people won't like that but we won't sign a permanent leftback and I'd rather have him than Livermore! The other option would be a loanee.
Hinshelwood - Worth keeping for backup if nothing else, he is still better than El-Abd and miles better than Hawkins.
Fraser - I'm not convinced he has a long future with us but he's still young and would be a worthwhile squad member. 1 year contract.
Hart - Must stay now, especially as Owusu is uncertain. Another year.
Robinson - Probably will be released, just hasn't progressed or grabbed the opportunities he's had. Slade hasn't seen him but I'm not sure that will be enough reason to keep him.

Actually, I'm a little taller, but nevermind. 
Agree with that - quite a few people saying that Livermore has always been played out of position so we should keep him - but frankly, whenever he has been asked to play out of positions he's never shown anything to suggest that if he was moved a few yards up or down or across the pitch he would suddenly become a wonder player.
Whether we should keep Mayo is debatable (his time as a playing professional, at this level at least, is pretty nearly up), but would be a better option than Livermore at left back. Of course, we could always give young Cook a run................
............or tell Lynch that he's got a chance to put himself in the shop window for January.

My bad, I'm a year late. My point still stands though, if no one has seen him play then how can you have an opinion of him. It's up to the management as they've seen him in training etc.

Livermore - probably should go. Might be a decent player for us but has struggled to prove it so far, and realistically is probably not going to be in the team ahead of Dicker. Don't think it's fair to completely blame Adams for Livermore's poor season as some seem to be, maybe it's like Birchall where he just isn't that interested in playing for us. Also, not sure we need him as cover at left back as I'd argue that Whing was better when he played there and we have cover for RB.
Hinsh - should keep for another year to see if he can recapture form. Considering the amount of time he was out I think he's had an okay season and hopefully will continue to improve.
Fraser - Keep. He might never be our best player but would be crazy to let a local lad who has has played well for us recently go.
Loft - keep. Looked impressive at end of season and can only get better
Hart - would like if he's fit but doubtful, and if Forster and Murray are fit not sure how much he'd feature (assuming we sign Owusu or another striker). Perhaps a month by month contract considering he won't get a deal anywhere else.
Carole, Birchall, Jarrett, Mayo, Robinson - Thanks for all your efforts (or lack in some case) but goodbye!
