Not sure if the Grimsby lot come on here but I'm certainly not going to infiltrate the league 2 forum like another 'town fan' did. What's the deal with Niall Maher? I was surprised to see him on your released list. I thought he was first choice earlier in the season. I'd certainly have him back buy I can he him heading to Barrow now with Wild
Under contract: Kieran Burton Campbell Darcy Louis Stephenson Luke Waterfall Kieran Wallace Joe Grey Mani Dieseruvwe Option taken to extend contract: Dan Dodds Tom Parkes Anthony Mancini Out of contract, offered new deal: David Ferguson Nicky Featherstone Under contract, available for transfer: Joel Dixon Manny Onariase Out of contract, released: Alex Lacey Edon Pruti Brody Paterson Callum Cooke Tom Crawford Mikael Ndjoli Jake Hastie Josh Umerah Chris Wreh That's what we wanna see, proper good clear out!
Agreed, said it the other day, good 5-6 players there, it's who gets brought in to supplement them. Already have the whingers out whining about Cooke and Crawford leaving, both will be lucky to get another club at this level.
I was in 2 minds regarding Crawford considering imo hes been played out of Pos, Cooke is a luxury we can ill afford, bye bye whinger.
Crawford doesn't do enough for me, been here 4 seasons now and hasn't kicked on at all, doesn't tackle, slow, never scores, collects yellows, he's turned into the new Brad Walker, just a body in a shirt. Be lucky to find any takers for Dixon who is a walking error, Manny O maybe, started well but went right off the boil.
Yep, his Mrs got mouthy when we lost away at Dorking 5-1 and that was the end of him for us, plus his salary was obscene.

Almost as good a retained list as we can hope for. Really glad Crawford has gone. Cooke I might've kept on reduced terms, I'd have listed Wallace and released Ferguson. Hearing that we are looking at Jaaskelainan in goal. Hope we don't get more Woking rejects. We better be looking in a higher market than that.
Thing with Wallace is he's just gone through surgery, probably have a duty of care to him whilst rehabilitating, certainly won't be featuring much anyway you'd imagine.
Wish full thinking, Seriously not seen a player as slow as him in a while. Unless he was carrying while playing.
Retained Harvey Bunker Charlie McCann Tyrese Omotoye Fiachra Pagel Amadou Bakayoko Kyle McAllister Jamie Robson Marcel Lavinier Ryan Inniss Christian Doidge Alfie Bendle Jordan Moore-Taylor Jamie Searle Emmanuel Osadebe Jacob Maddox Teddy Jenks. Released Nathan Holland Dom Bernard Darnell Johnson Mathew Stevens Jordon Garrick Sean Robertson Alex Gorrin Fankaty Dabo David Davis Reece Brown Richard Keogh Luke Daniels. Returned Dom Thompson Callum Jones Tommy Simkin Vicente Reyes Suggestion McAllister has a release clause and will trigger it; he'd have no problem finding a league club. Otherwise would be a reasonable line-up with those retained but surprised if we don't see a bit of a clear-out over the summer as they're mostly not SC's choices.
What was the story with Lawrie Walker, he’s a hell of a keeper at this level, was brilliant with us and only left to be nearer home. Would have him back in a heartbeat.
Did well last season then had a bit of an injury, lost a bit of form and the change of manager and new one hasn’t fancied him as much after we got a few thrashings. He was then involved in a car accident and hardly seen since apart from last couple of games of the season. Got involved in a bit of Twitter rubbish as well which didn’t help. we already have a couple of other centre backs on long contracts and probably need a bit more pace than he can offer but I liked him. Defo good enough for top end NL/ bottom half of L2 imo. wish him the best.
