Daventry?

Another two who are decent Step 5 but not Step 4.

Harriman has his work cut out to get a completely new squad together.

Who are yet to decide?
Tejan Thomas, Hughes, Tessler, Webster, Taylor, Adegbola.
My understanding is all the others are signing for other clubs.
At least we still have the three youngsters. Evans, Elhani and Seaman, for now anyway.
I've not included Wilson as he is unlikely to be fit for new season,but would be happy to see him when he has fully recovered and hope that won't be too long.

Appreciate that people get attached to players and attached to people and that is of course probably a lot more likely at this level where people are able to form personal relationships.

However, let's not forget that after Jarvis Wilson got injured in November we picked up 24 points from 23 games. Do that over the course of a whole season and you're firmly in a relegation battle. Collectively from November onwards it wasn't good enough.

So there will be a big overhaul this summer. But I think it's necessary.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Thanks for your perspective on things Alex , i am sure that this helps to put a lot of our minds at rest as i am sure you have some irons in the fire and take on board what you are saying about the points tally form the last half of the season . Onwards and hopefully upwards

Callum Ballinger moves on.

Not confirmed, but I’d expect Charlie Green will be another to depart, as he generally goes wherever Calvin does.

If we're going to let our best player leave instead of rebuild around him, then we're taking a big gamble IMO. I hope we don't throw the baby out with the bath water. If he goes up a league then fair play to him.

Not initially true, Calvin came from Bugbrooke and Charlie was at Wellingborough before us. I’d also expect them to be going totally different directions in the next few seasons, one back down to step 5 and the other one could easily step up to step 3, but let’s hope Charlie stays! 💎
