Massive thanks to McCrystal, Puddy and Easter. They have been important players during our success over the last to two years. I hope we can go through the current transition and keep the team/squad spirit which has been strong.

Would've thought this has been left 19 days in to the transfer window cos DC has only just been able to bring some new players in.
IMO he ain't gonna tell 6 players they aren't needed on Jan 1st when he's not even been on the phone
I hope so anyway

Agree, but thinking about it. Is he trying to use this as motivation for the rest of the team to up their game or they could see themselves released in the summer too. Yeah that's all well and good if that's even the case.. but now we're relying on 2 kids in goal, and with these 4 first team players being told they won't feature and the 5 loans being sent back that's 9 players out and 2 in.. it's risky at this stage, I just don't get it Edit: and that's not including Gosling, forgot about him relax, did you expect us to offer them new contracts at the end of the season..? Expect a couple of new players coming in

DC is a class act and treats people he deals with in a professional way. I'm pretty sure, but still only a guess, that he has spoken to all of these players and explained his reasons for this. From that point of view he isn't stupid and must be working behind the scenes to bring in new players to be able to say to the current lot they are no longer being considered for selection. As someone has already pointed out they are not being released so it's not an immediate cost cutting situation. We currently only have 1 goalkeeper being considered or available for the first team so it's right imo to assume we are bringing in a new gk at least. DC hasn't let us down when it comes to the bigger picture, yet. In DC I trust.

The whole conference squad have been superb and given us their all and DC has been loyal to the whole squad giving them additional contracts etc. But there comes a time when levels are reached and players have to move on, DC has given this squad an extra 6 months in this league and hes moving on the players that wont take us forward. We cant be sentimental about it. It's just the way it is.
In DC we trust.

Dinnae expect this until the summer. Ruthless. But a good sign.

Expect a couple of new players coming in I'm quite relaxed thanks, I do hope more players are coming in, doesn't mean they will tho, and doesn't mean they'll be any better, I think myself and everyone else are entitled to ask some questions at this point.

DC has already said Lumley will be in goal at Walsall so if we are going to sign another keeper I doubt it will be before the weekend.
He also said he's tried to bring in a permenant keeper but they've wanted silly money which is why he's brought in Lumley on loan.
That said, I did get the impression from DC's comments after Lumley signed that another keeper was a possibility and if Puddy does leave is Mildenhall ready to be the competition / cover he talked of?
I'm really not sure whether to expect another keeper or not.
We do know he's hoping to bring in 2 or 3 more before the end of the month and with the announcement today about the 6 available to leave I'd hope he's fairly confident these signings will happen.

Putting sentiment aside I agree with all six being shown the door.

Odd things going on, odd timing for this to come out Players told they are allowed to move during the transfer window shocker No, but what is odd is the timing,why not do this just before the window opened,it seems like they now realise how much it's going to cost to get players of the calibre DC wants and we need to offload first. Thought they would of known this before the window opened.

the players listed are definitely ones I would have expected to have been released or sold when players have come in during this window or at the end of season when there is more time for replacements.
Hope with 3 ties cut now that we are planning on raiding league 2/1 and bringing I'm quality on a permanent basis.
Squad minus 3 now looks shorts on all front.
Bold move to make at this point in the season with no signs of quality coming in.

Players told they are allowed to move during the transfer window shocker 19 days into the transfer window? This may leave us a bit short as well.. seems I'm not the only one who finds this a bit odd looking at the rest of the comments Yeah, I guess Darrell would have wanted to asses what he could get as replacements before dropping the hammer. Better for the players than announcing in June they'll be let go, anyway.
Don't know about short. We have 5 strikers, and we've already signed McCrystal's replacement, plus we have the Chelsea lad and Hartley to come back later in the season.

Great move by DC - thank you to the six players - especially Macca, Puddy and Easter for their help in dragging us back to the Football League and to Liam Lawrence for his free kick against ?!!!
DC promised everyone a contract which they got - he also challenged the players to prove they can handle life in L1 - some have to move on. Puddy - not good enough, Macca - not quick enough, Easter & Lawrence - not effective often enough! Good luck to all that leave and the message to those that remain, is it could be you next!!!
This should free up the income required to pay the first mortgage payment on the UWE!!! TBC............................
