The bare minimum (1 Viewer)

In order to be competitive in League One (i.e. mid table) which players do people think we need to keep hold of? Sadly it looks like Bigi, Keogh and Cranie are goners so I would say the following need to be retained if we are even going to be a mid-table League 1 side:

Gary McSheffrey - provided he stays clear of injuries I can see him doing well in League 1
Cody McDonald - should be good for 15 plus goals in League 1
Conor Thomas - clearly has potential and might be decent in League 1 having had a season in the Championship behind him
Richard Wood - would be a class Central Defender in League 1
Joe Murphy - would be one of the better keepers in League 1
Gary Deegan - don't rate him especially highly from a technical perspective but has some physicality which will be needed in League 1 and is sorely lacking in the rest of the team
Cyrus Christie - a genuinely bright prospect who could be decent in League 1
Carl Baker - too lightweight in the Championship but his League 1 record is impressive

Personally I think if these players play in most games next season we will be vaguely competitive and shouldn't be relegation fodder provided SISU do get in a few other okayish players to boost squad numbers (which given their track record is a big if). However if any of these players are sold and not replaced, I will begin to think SISU genuinely do want to liquidate the club and close it down. It will be less about cost-cutting and more about sheer vindictiveness.

What do others feel is needed for us to be at least a mid-table League 1 side?

I should caveat that it is ridiculous that we are even contemplating mid-table in League 1 as being a success however with the grotesque handicap that is SISU it would be a relative triumph.
