Town manager Paul Jewell says he will be sitting down with a number of Town's players later this week to sort out contracts.
21 players are currently on contracts that expire in the summer, with David Norris and Gareth McAuley among them and both have been linked with moves away from Town, with Portsmouth claiming that Norris wants to join them but that would be news to Paul Jewell.
Jewell: "David Norris has not spoken to me about going there.
"We have an on-going situation with a number of players and contracts and I will sit down and talk to some of the players later in the week.
"It's a situation I have inherited and we do have to sit down and discuss it and we will do that so that we can get things sorted.
"I've said since I first came here, I'm not looking to push anyone out of the door. What's also important is that I'm not under any pressure to sell anyone either.
"If a player wants to leave, any player that is, they can leave - if it suits us. Gareth McAuley and David Norris are the two names that people seem to be talking about the most and those two didn't play like they wanted to leave on Saturday, did they?"
