The Blues’ season is all but over with three games to play – after their faint play-off hopes officially ended with a 1-1 draw with Morecambe.
But one positive is they can get a head start in their summer preparations.
It’s set to be another pre-season of immense change off the field as Danny Cowley looks to re-shape his side to enhance their promotion credentials.
The club currently have 17 players not contracted beyond this term, and decisions need to made sooner or later on their futures.
Here’s what we think the club should do – and what individuals need to do to secure success next term.

Freeman was an unsung hero for Pompey before his season-ending injury. He'll prove to be a useful asset next season due to his versatility but he needs to do more to cement his place as first choice right-back. Photo: The News
6. Callum Johnson
His time at the club is evidently over with his contract expiring while on-loan at Fleetwood. Another fresh start could do him the world of good. Photo: JPIMedia
7. Haji Mnoga
Mnoga has put his nightmare loan spell at Bromley behind him while at Weymouth, and has proved to be a valuable asset for Danny Cowley. He's one of the academy contingent who definitely deserves a chance next season, but needs to show he has the temperament to cut it in the EFL. Photo: The News
8. Paul Downing
Much like Johnson, Downing's time at the club is almost over. It will be good to get his wages off the books. Photo: The News
