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.
