Good luck Will in MIDFIELD for Gillingham.

Really Stanton my lord you are a very forgiving soul. He had a go in midfield for us and was to my mind a disaster.

That day at Harogate is the day I gave it up for him in midfield. A performance that was capped by fly kicking a tap in on the goal line . Lucky for us Wilkinson was following up .

Proved far better in defence but we never got at least a chance to get out this League because of that defence.

Also despite taking all the free kicks and corners 12 assists In two years is a pretty poor return

As Mark said earlier in this thread we need defenders if we have any chance to get out this League, admittedly Will Wright was one I would have kept with Manny . who by the way in my opinion is nowhere near the Player we sold to Scunthorpe. The rest I would have binned Including Johnson who I can't for the life of me see what he did to earn a new deal unless he agreed yo play for free

Worth a shout!

We will no doubt have players warming the bench week in week out but for someone of his calibre, might be useful in training and the dressing room to have around. Do you still perceive that as "Funny" Digger???

He managed 6 games for Southend last season, not sure I want to be giving him decent wage to be useful in the dressing room because he won’t be useful anywhere else. Southend we’re better without him last season and finish way behind us, not for me thanks.

We still have Phipps who I am yet to be convinced can stay fit for a season... Easy to say obviously but we need money going on players we can comfortably get a full season out of. We can't have a McCallum and Morias in every position if we have a Walker and Balanta out injured for a period.
