He wasn't good enough.

So
Farewell then
Symmo lad
On reflection
You weren’t too bad
Your best position
We didn’t know
A conundrum which
Begat your woe?
Now you have a proper job
You’ll have to watch
From the mob
‘He’ll be used to that’
Said Keith’s mum
Acerbically
From the couch
Her favourite position
I can vouch

E.J. Wintergreen 59¾

Don't blame him - he's not exactly the first to drop football for a more reliable job and won't be the last either. I suspect he'd be happier working full time and playing football part time in the Conf.North anyway.

Good

Had a shaky start but did ok in the end IMO. Decent enough for lower end conference but we will be lobbing a load of money at 'better' players in the summer in our pursuit of champions league football.

There's a saying, you can have all the tools in your toolbox but if you don't know how to use them then the toolbox may as well be empty! Think that sums up Symmo, hopefully he finds a way to rekindle his passion in the game at Workington or whoever on a part time basis as there is plenty in his toolbox he just has to learn how to use the tools!

Hopefully an ideal opportunity for young Brad Carroll to stake a claim over the next three games and he's given that chance.

Suttons gone. Symingtons gone.
Who's our right back now then?

Carroll who has been brought back off loan at Burscough - or Parry who started as a full back - I'd say probably Carroll as Parry has been doing fine in midfield

Be a pretty solid part time Conf North player. Good luck to him. Always put the effort in just made too many errors.

Good luck to Symo.Will do a job in lower league football but when he was played at right back for us (not his position) he struggled in this league. Good crosser of a ball which obviously doesn't make up for the deficiencies in other departments.

Was given a chance and didn't take it. Good luck to the lad. It will be interesting to see who he plays at RB tomorrow. I hope Brad Carroll will start, but Im thinking Andy Parry, then putting Lacey or Mo into midfield.

I will be surprised if we see Mo in the starting line up again.Not good enough and may do better in a lower league.

Please please please do not shove Parry or Pilks at full back. Let Carroll get some game time, if he's not good enough it doesn't matter at this stage but it's an ideal chance to see

Fully agree HK, be good to see Brad get a start today. Great chance for the lad to prove himself.
