He has now experienced the highs of playing in the First Team and doing well and, almost as importantly, the lows. Hopefully he has learnt from the lows and will have matured further.

Could do with a loan spell really but at his age he needs to be kicking on, and if we are sticking with Kakay as first choice right back Drewe could be his cover.

Along with Hamalianen on the left the three of them are all products of our so called Development system and if we have to rely on a defence that includes them we are in huge trouble.
Grudgingly I can accept Kakay in a back 4 but IMO none of them is Championship quality.

I know what we all feel about Niko Hamalainen, so skipping him: Kakay surprised many of us by his upgraded performances when the chips were down last season and I agree he could cope (just) in a Back 4; and with regard to Drew, I feel he must be allowed the opportunity to develop on loan at a League One side next season. I know that leaves us short, but he is not ready yet and over-exposure of his current failings could destroy his confidence. better to get in another loanee and send him out to succeed or fail.
I wonder where he will end up? National League is my guess.
Like Kakay he always gave his best but as you say he isn't currently at the level required for Championship football. I can't imagine how these lads who have been with the club since they were juniors must feel when they are told there won't be another contract but he must feel gutted.
He's young enough to start again and I really hope he manages to find another club.
