Technically both Garner and Telford are very good players imo. The problem was they never adapted to Wilds style of play. By Clemence own admission the style of play is changing next season so it may get the best out of them both. Don’t forget Garner did well for morecambe on loan
Re: Released/Retained
Reading between the lines there you've had a season ticket these last two seasons, so you could take up the early bird offer. So you'd rather wait to see what signings we make and then potentially buy a season ticket at a higher price?Methuselah wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2024 7:16 pmStill haven,t got my season ticket.With the likes of Whitfield gone I,m waiting to see what kind of suitable replacements are brought in before I decide whether to get one and may just get tickets on a match by match basis.After all the success of the last two seasons i don,t want to see us start the season with a weakened side which sees us unable to make a decent start.I am willing to give our new manager a chance,but I want to see some decent signings.Letting the likes of Whitfield go without making him a decent offer could prove to be a big mistake,unless we manage to get equivalent replacements.

Re: Released/Retained
Which also means we could sign players who were out of contract .
The inference was you cannot sign players .
Re: Released/Retained
I’ve found it’s much better to reminisce about Dave day on FB than reading nonsense “I’m refusing to buy a season ticket” posts. Incidentally we’ve just hit the 1000 mark.Matty wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2024 5:04 pmReading between the lines there you've had a season ticket these last two seasons, so you could take up the early bird offer.

Meanwhile, Iain Wood has been lying on his sunbed in Tenerife despite what Paul Hornby said in his interview. Stop worrying and enjoy the 'summer'
Don't let the old man in.
Re: Released/Retained
I will take your word for that maybe that's why other players are being signed by clubsMisterPleasant wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2024 5:49 pmMeanwhile, Iain Wood has been lying on his sunbed in Tenerife despite what Paul Hornby said in his interview. Stop worrying and enjoy the 'summer'![]()

With our strong forward line we also have the experienced David Worrall and Mazeed Ogungbo, Sean Etaluku & Junior Tiensia what more do people want we had too many players last season only need another 4/5 to make a 20 man squad.

Maybe there is a player who can score goals after all if we set up right.
Re: Released/Retained
set up to score goals and you might, don't and you won't.
Re: Released/Retained
Not many L2 clubs play 11 year old defenders, but congratulations on your optimistic viewpoint that Garner can emulate Wayne Rooney.saltcellar wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2024 9:58 pmAs an 11 year old Ged Garner scored 76 goals in a season, breaking a record previously held by Wayne Rooney.Main Stand SeasonTct wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2024 5:02 pm

Maybe he’s had better offers from elsewhere?
Maybe he fancies a change of scenery?
You can’t force players to sign.
Re: Released/Retained
On paper Cole Stockton and Dom Telford looked easily the best strike force in League Two and I was confident they'd fire you to promotion last season. Unfortunately football's not played on paper and, though obviously I didn't see you play, it would appear the partnership was a damp squib.

Both are undoubtedly very good players at this level, but for me we didn’t see the best of them and that in part I think was down to the set up as others have said. Telford in particular started off brightly but just lost his place and never really got a run after that to get going. Stockton started off well too banging goals in but by the end looked well off the pace, possibly due to injury too.

Stockton started well scored a few then lost his form. Telford is a good player but found it difficult to get to grips with Pete Wilds style of play.ROKERITE wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2024 3:03 pm On paper Cole Stockton and Dom Telford looked easily the best strike force in League Two and I was confident they'd fire you to promotion last season.
