Grant McCann has already vowed that he is only aiming for one thing - the League Two title. As such it is set to be a summer of change with incomings and outgoings inevitable.
In terms of the latter there are as many as 11 players whose deals, as it stands, are due to expire on July 1. Rovers have to inform players of their decisions by the third Saturday in May (this coming Saturday, May 18). That is also the deadline for telling the EFL, although it is not always immediately made public. Some clubs will say who is departing but also say they are in discussions.
In terms of Rovers, speaking immediately after last week's loss to Crewe McCann said: "Now this (play-offs) is done we'll put deadlines on the players to say yes or no. Ultimately if it gets to that deadline and we haven't agreed anything, we can't wait forever."
Here, we look at the 11 players whose deals expire this summer.

11. Charlie Seaman
The 24-year-old was loaned out to non-league sides Hartlepool and Wealdstone this season. Has not played a single game under McCann, which perhaps says it all. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
12. Jon Taylor
The long-serving attacker has been beset by injuries. Underwent surgery this year to get to the bottom of a knee issue. McCann was hopeful he'd return before the end of the season but he didn't make it in time. Played just five times across the whole of 2023-24 with his solitary start coming on the opening day last August. Photo: HOWARD ROE
