Double promotion winner, two time player of the season winner, club captain, 11 years a professional, 41st on the all time League appearances list and some people are completely not arsed. An odd club. I love Stats but they can also mislead you.. Wasn't a first 11 player in either of those promotion season. The 2nd time he won player of the year he shouldn't have even been in the top 3. Not a captain IMO, too lacking in discipline. Tony Craig was the real leader during OC's reign IMO. Loads of footballers have been professional for a long period, doesn't make them a great player and one we must keep. not many positives for you then over his 10 + years at the club

Sad to hear he's going and to a L2 club - must be a longer contract. He played a lot more good games than bad and scored plenty of cracking goals (with both feet !). Always ran and tackled. Good luck Ollie !

I always get excited this time of year when players leave and new ones come in, but at the front of my mind I keep thinking BUT are we going to see them play and when ?
When will the season start ? anyone got some information on that ? Will it be behind closed doors once it starts or reduced capacity ? If so, who gets to go ?
So the hope/expectations are very fuzzy for me at the moment.

I expect contracts will be either shorter, or the players will receive far less money in the current climate. Also, smaller squads will mean a lot of players leaving the game altogether Smaller squads should suit some players. It will mean they will play more often and get more appearance bonus, assist bonus, goal bonus, clean sheet bonus etc. Always some positives out of a negative. I guess you're talking generally, but do you get the impression that our squad is going to be small ? 3 new players coming in apparently and BG has indicated a few more in midfield and attack.

Harry Warwick the latest academy player to sign a new deal. Like the look of Harry - a cool finisher.

I wished him well when he played for us. I think he had 2 great chances in first 10 minutes of his first game. He has energy, runs and tries hard. Not from a personal but a physical point, he lacks height and I think this is a huge disadvantage in the modern game; quite a few of our players have lacked height and not done well although Bodin, Taylor, Sinclair etc did superb. Maybe he can take their style and play on board when playing? Only advice when playing is to stay a bit calmer and not rush too much? UTG Sorry but there is no evidence to support this. Unless you can provide some? His eyes, probably watching lots of football over the years. Players are bigger and stronger than they were - surely you recognise that. Btw I'm not saying don't recruit small players BUT they have to be very very good in the modern game. I haven't seen Tomlinson play a game - I hear he is talented but he'll have to work very hard at all aspects of his game to cut at L1 or above. Good luck to him.

Don't know anything about these 2 players but they do offer lots of experience and are a good age. I really liked the look of Ehmer's defence partner, Ogilvy - he stood out for me at The Mem last season. Just wondering if Davies might leave - only hunch. Davies is good but he's not as comfortable with the ball at his feet as say Alfie.

The trouble is we were 3 - 0 up! 😂 We ####ed it up at least I got that right sadly you're both right, as I think we were winning 3 - 0 in first leg but Cooblers pulled a goal back to make it 3-1 on the day. We then lost the 2nd game 3- 0 !?

Don't know if this has been raised by anyone -but where are the players training at the moment ? Well I suppose with the season ended they’re not. N9 need. UTG! Really ? They haven't been doing anything since mid-March. I'd have thought all clubs are doing some training now - as it is possible under the changing rules.

Agree Topper, that creative midfielder is a priority though not easy to find. Fingers crossed. UTG! Most teams in this league seem to find creative midfield players. In so many games in the last season, we seemed so outnumbered and out thought in midfield. In terms of creativity the current midfield is very pedestrian. However, the current midfield players are battlers and extremely adept at accumulating cards. you are very negative about your own team. I remember seeing Ogogo and Upson having some f+cking good games for us last season. Sercs and Ollie - yeah they had mediocre seasons.

Agree about JC but we'll be priced out by other clubs.. The article says he's out of contract - so no fee. If you mean priced out on wages then I doubt Hibs pay a lot but Posh might be a different story.

I noticed the BP has an article now showing released players. Quite a few have mentioned the big Blackpool striker (he is good) and Hiwula (don't remember him in games Ive seen), but I was wondering who you think we could snaffle from a club who might be a realistic target for us and the type of key player the team needs?
To get you started (don't know about his contract situation) I'd love to see us sign Jordan Clark of Accrington (think that's his name) - he was brilliant in the 3 -3 last season. Pretty quick midfielder, bags of energy and clever movement and gets a good handful of goals - a Sercs replacement.

Hulbert just signed pro contract. That's great.

Zane Walker also got a pro contract before his scholarship ended.

Anyone know if u18 striker Ollie Hulbert is still with us? I know the new apprentices were named in May but new pros - I'm not sure that's been done ?? We know that Phillips and Hoole got early contracts. Hulbert was great when he was younger but perhaps he hasn't progressed like Phillips ??

do you blame Little for getting injuries ? Do you think he was doing it on purpose ? Does he make more of a niggle than another player? Is he less willing to play in a little discomfort? Only he will know that, but some players are more injured mentally than physically imo. Let's hope he doesn't. we don't have any evidence to suggest one thing or another I'd say, so it would be nice if we support all the players - those injured and those fit. Plenty of players have returned from long injury spells to become fans' favourites over the years.
