Terry McPhillips says he's hopeful out-of-contract duo Jimmy Ryan and Nathan Shaw will put pen to paper on new deals.
Both players were offered new contracts following the end of the campaign but have yet failed to agree on new terms as they continue to mull over their options.
Shaw was one of four players from the club's youth team to be offered professional terms but, while the other three put pen to paper straight away, the midfielder has yet to make his mind up.
Ryan, meanwhile, has been offered a new contract but - unlike Nathan Delfouneso - has yet to put pen to paper and commit his future to the club.
“Fingers crossed that can be done," McPhillips told The Gazette.
“The club has made offers to them and Nathan as well, and he’s just signed his new deal.
“Hopefully Nathan and Jimmy can get done as well.”
While Ryan has yet to commit his future to the club, he previously said he’d love nothing more than to line up in tangerine once again next season.
“I would love to stay here,” he said last month.
“I feel like I’ve got a lot to offer the team when I’m back fit and with a good pre-season under my belt I will be the same player I was.”

Defender Ryan Edwards has become Blackpool’s second summer signing and the first of the Simon Sadler era.
The 25-year-old joins on a free transfer after turning down a new deal at Plymouth Argyle, where he has spent the last two seasons.
The centre back has agreed a two-year deal with the Seasiders.
Edwards made 38 appearances for Plymouth last term and has previously spent time on loan with Fleetwood Town, while Morecambe and Rochdale are also among his former clubs.
The Liverpudlian knows manager Terry McPhillips well having played under him during his time in Blackburn Rovers’ youth system.
The 6ft 5ins defender is described as a commanding centre half who is also capable of chipping in with goals, having found the back of the net on five occasions last season.
It’s understood Blackpool beat the likes of Bristol Rovers and Tranmere Rovers to his signature.
Edwards, who made a successful recovery from cancer last year, joins Adi Yussuf in signing for the Seasiders this summer, the striker making the move to Bloomfield Road from Solihull Moors.
Players contracted for next season: Nick Anderton, Marc Bola, Myles Boney, Yusifu Ceesay, Nathan Delfouneso, Ryan Edwards,Liam Feeney, Armand Gnanduillet, Callum Guy, Mark Howard, Christoffer Mafoumbi, Michael Nottingham, Harry Pritchard, Rowan Roache, Jay Spearing, Jordan Thompson, Curtis Tilt, Ollie Turton, Matty Virtue, Adi Yussuf
