Sure he did the same a couple of years ago and pitched back up early in the season (having missed pre season training). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Heading off down south because someone asked him to mark Norway? Good luck to the man. Liked his attitude, energy and enthusiasm, but not a fan of his actual defensive abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I really struggle with is how many players we offered further contracts to. Do the club really think he'd be part of the solution. I know there were clauses in likes of SODs contact etc but honestly we need to get our act together in this area. As a club we hand out too many contracts to players we should be moving on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfc Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 I would have preferred casey to stay over mcginn and odonnell but if he did it would have been an even less of a chance to improve our poor defence but now we have a space in the team and a wage to hopefully bring in someone that can make us better.good luck to dan wherever he ends up.

fizoxy Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 I like Casey. He's flawed, but definitely a good defender at our level that would get a game for most teams in our league. Having a defender that can chip in with some goals, and a player with some personality is always nice. On the other hand, our defense overall is poor, so I am not going to be too fussed about anyone leaving it. Not every goal is a defenders fault, but we do have a group of error prone defenders, and not enough going forward to gloss over that.

As with Casey, and given they weren't detailed in the GTF list, I can only assume we've also offered contracts to Paton, Davor, Moses, Thompson and Seddon. Of that lot, Seddon is the only one worthy of an offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s bonkers that we knew the squad was too large and didn’t have enough quality yet could end up with +20 of the same squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but the new manager's brief should also include "mutualling" any contracts for players he doesn't want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that so many are sorry to see him go says more about the quality of our defenders in the last two or three years than anything else. He won't last long in England.

mfc Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Sneddon was decent in his limited appearances but I wouldn't be fussed either way if he stays or goes,I hope we don't see any of the rest return as it would be a backwards move and will limit any progress that were able to make.

fizoxy Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Seddon played 200+ games in his career, including 30 odd in the season before joining us, so I'm not sure we can call him injury prone. Definitely not in the mould of Sam Nicholson, who is a genuine perma crock. Seddon had 2 injuries with us, and missed games at the start of the season when wilson kept his place. The big injury he had last season was the ankle one that put him out for months, that i think happened in a game. It would come down to how hard those are to recover from long term. I like him, and he's a better footballer than the other options there, he also gives us a good fdw options on the left of defence, whether LB, LWB, or LCB, so I'd like to keep him, especially since decent left bqcks dont grow on trees, but he hasn't played enough for me to be turning up at FP with a pitch fork if he wasn't extended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 I liked Casey. Good defender at our level and wore his heart on his sleeve which always endears a player to fans. But he isnt worth breaking the bank for so if he thinks he can get a better deal elsewhere good luck to him. Seddon Id keep for all the reasons above. Thompson - punt Davor - punt Paton - punt Moses - if he has been offered peanuts and is happy to be our 80th minute chaos maker Id keep. Just because players like that arent easy to come by. Id also be looking to move on Nicholson, Robinson and Stuparevic as soon as they are fit, so wouldnt be including them in our squad numbers as I dont expect them to contribute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might be able to loan them out if they're fit in time for the windows and don't figure into our plans. But it's very unlikely that we're going to mutual them. Even if we wanted to, I don't know why any of them would give up any of their contract when they face uncertainty after a lengthy injury. At worst they'll not get back to full fitness before their contract ends, and leqve next summer, and at best a couple of them will be fit by January and save us from loaning in some children as deadline panic buys. So I doubt the new manager will be hanging any hopes on them either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
