Agree with most of what you've put there Jackal, with a couple of the players it could also be the case that they have decided to move on for their careers (Milsom for example, maybe Forte).

Personally I'm glad Forte has gone just because any time he picks up his monthly injury and doesn't play people would be questioning the manager again, like they did whenever Collin started ahead of the world class keeper everyone seems to remember Fitzsimons being. I do rate Fitz but I think it would be a step backwards if we start next season with him as number 1 compared to Adam Collin.

Shame we couldn't convince Shola to stick around and have the role Steve Fletcher used to have at Bournemouth.

Nolan obviously didn't rate Curtis Thompson, which is fair enough imo, when you ask what his main quality is you would probably say his work rate, unfortunately you need more than that imo. He didn't get much playing time at Wycombe either and still joined in their celebrations when they won promotion ahead of us which I imagine people at Notts probably weren't best pleased about if they heard about it.
