Following the conclusion of the Saddlers' 2021/22 League Two campaign, the time has now come for Head Coach Michael Flynn to start to shape his squad ahead of the new season.
With several players set to be out of contract, and another group struggling to make the case for a place in next season's squad, the gaffer had many tough decisions to make.
