The following players, whose contracts have expired, have not been offered a new contract: Kazenga LuaLua, Connor Wickham.
What’s happened with Stryjek? I thought he was well thought of? I always thought he’d have been a good option for us when he came through our academy all those years ago, but he’s made a decent career elsewhere.
He got sent off and had a 3 match ban and he was available Bloomfield kept with tazavolli and apparently Max and Bloomfield had a full on row and he was loaned out to Crewe,out of the 2 keepers i'd rather we had retained Max.
Reading's release list: Matty Carson, Nesta Guiness-Walker, Sam Hutchinson, Clinton Mola Three players capable of playing left back leaving, so leaves us with none. So that's something we'll need to quickly address in the Summer if the takeover goes through. Only surprise is Mola, improved a lot over the season, and was quite good latterly, and very versatile. Would be a good pick-up for anyone in this league IMO. With contracts offered to 2 further fringe players in Abrefa and Rushesha who should see more game time this coming season. Turns out that most of the players we had out of contract this Summer had one-year extension options, so thankfully almost all have been activated. Means we keep the likes of Azeez, Craig, Ehibatiomhan for now - could still leave in the Summer but at least now would be for a transfer fee. Would be nice to sign them up to longer deals.
Leaves us with Dorsett who played half the season at left back, and did a decent job. Certainly need at least one more option in that position though. Surprised Mola has been released. Improved massively as the season went on, but maybe he indicated he didn't want to stay.

I’ll never see Scott Hogan in a Blues shirt ever again, this season is already my favourite in the last ten years!!
Just read that we have released Gareth McCleary which has pissed me off,he may be 37 but i reckon he had at least another good season in him.
It turns out he was on a wind up and has signed a contract for next season which is great news but he's a prick for posting his tweet saying he was off.
