Tweaks or Wholesale Changes?

There's no doubt that Nigel Pearson will have his own ideas about which players he will retain and those who he will wish to move on. 

Going through the list, my own opinion is

Goalkeepers retain

Scott Carson

Jonathan Mitchell

Let go

Lee Grant

Kelle Roos. 

Full Backs - retain

Cyrus Christie

Marcus Olsson

Craig Forsyth

Max Lowe

Let go

Chris Baird

Centre Halves - retain

Richard Keogh

Jason Shackell

Farrend Rawson

Let go

Jake Buxton

Raul Albentosa

Alex Pearce

Midfield - retain

Will Hughes

Craig Bryson

Jeff Hendrick

George Thorne

Jacob Butterfield

Jamie Hanson

Let go

Bradley Johnson

Forwards - retain

Chris Martin

Andreas Weimann 

Johnny Russell

Tom Ince

Let go

Abdoul Camara

Nick Blackman

Darren Bent

Obviously some are preferably retained unless an irresistible offer is made and obviously a better player is bought in to replace some of them.
