Town have offered professional contracts to Massimo Luongo, Sone Aluko and Tawanda Chirewa, but have announced the release of Joel Coleman, Richard Keogh, Matt Penney and Kane Vincent-Young as well as 10 U21s players.
Town visit Bolton Wanderers on Saturday aiming to extend their winning run to five games and also targeting a new club record of six league clean sheets on the bounce.
Boss Kieran McKenna admitted the Blues didn’t hit the heights of last week’s 4-0 win at Gillingham as they were beaten 2-0 at Bolton Wanderers but felt it wasn’t a bad performance and that the game was there for the taking at the time the Trotters took the lead.
Second-half goals from Kieran Lee and Dapo Afolayan saw new manager Kieran McKenna to his first defeat as Blues boss as Town were defeated 2-0 at Bolton Wanderers. The Blues were on top for long spells, but without creating many clear-cut chances before Lee rebounded the Trotters’ opener on 74 and sub Afolayan profited from a George Edmundson error with nine minutes left on the clock.
