    Yes I thought someone would make that observation in reply!

    Obviously it's not considered good professional etiquette to slag off a player who leaves*, but if there's not much nice to say then it's often just a case of "wishing them well for the future" and little more. There would be no particular reason for a manager to say praiseworthy things at that stage unless the observation was genuine. It's not like they're going to get any more out of the player.

    * A notable exception was when Boston manager Steve Evans took striker Phil Gray on loan (I think from Oxford) back in their Conference-winning season but terminated the loan early. Evans' comment - not untypically for him - was something along the lines of "Phil wanted to go and we were glad to see him go!"

    I think Carl Heggs (sorry for reminding people he existed) had some rather choice words about a fair few of our players after his short spell here

    .....................Slocombe......

    Brindley..Rawlinson..Lacey..Mccory

    Reeves.........Doyle.........Rodrigues

    Roberts.......Wootton.......Enzio

    Or, in a 4-2-3-1....

    ...................Slocombe.......

    Brindley..Rawlinson....Lacey....Mccory

    ................Reeves.....Doyle......

    .......Roberts.....Sloth........Rodrigues...

    ......................Wootton....

    Only concern is a lack of fire power up front really but we have some strength in depth now for other positions.
    No Enzio?

    Mr Sauce sez: Devonte Cole and Calvin Miller at Notts yesterday. No idea if they are potential signings or not? Sam Graham likely to come back. *message ends*:

    Tony Scully was past it the first time he joined, never mind 15 years later...

    Loan I would expect, with us now being a lowly feeder/train em up club.
