    Suggests a change in tack, and a deliberate shift to younger players with development and resale potential. Delighted with that, and I've been calling for it for the last 4 years. The trick will be whether we've scouted well and chosen the best targets. But that applies to every signing you make.

    I think we want more energy and pace in the team too, which I also welcome. We were far too pedestrian last season.

    When we played FGR at VP this time, I thought he was their best player, that is the only reason I remember him. If he played well against us, he must be good.

    Not sure you are right,but hey let’s see.

    If there is an element of doubt from FGR site


    Forest Green Rovers can today confirm the retained list following the end of the 2021/22 League Two season.

    A new contract has been agreed with Dom Bernard, who will continue his stay with the club on our journey to the third tier.

    Seven first team players –Taylor Allen, Jack Evans, Opi Edwards, Jake Young, Elliott Whitehouse, Vaughn Covil and Luke Hallett will all leave the club.

    No contract offered to Young.

    From the FGR forum


    I get the feeling something was amiss behind the scenes with JY and the management team last season. He was overlooked a lot in favour of Josh March and was left out of the squad a few times towards the end of the season. For me he has a much higher ceiling for potential that March and I’m a bit disappointed we let him go. At 20 he’s still got plenty of time to improve.

    So much potential. Be interesting if he realises that or not. Hard to ascertain his best position. Possibly a no10 as he can dribble and drive well with a good shot from distance. He was the one player I was excited about when the substitutions board went up only to be disappointed when he wasn’t used.

    I know Orient was looking at him, so must have a few suitors. Gone to a massive Club. Be interesting to view his progression next season.

    To be fair, it doesn't actually say that, it says 7 players will leave the club. Of course the assumption is they are leaving because they weren't offered new deals, but it might be in Young's case that he was offered a deal but chose not to take it. Not saying that is the case but given we have paid some sort of fee/compensation, it seems more likely.

    Simon Parker says it’s a compensation package with sell on fees

    That is not possible you cannot release someone and also offer a contract simultaneously

    Probably because he scored the extremely questionable equaliser in a game that we should have won

    FGR are being secretive to their own fans clearly. I think you are right.

    Not so BB. I was impressed by his play before the goal. He played deep, worked hard, retained the ball well and was mobile. I posted about him on a L2 forum and an FGR fan replied that he had a fair bit to learn but had good potential.

    @Fordy117@Fordy117 are you somewhat confused by all these signings considering we train at a school FFS. What are these players standards like eh? Will be better when we own our own facilities and we can attract decent players.

    Welcome to the lad and I echo sentiments about it’s much better to see this kind of signing, than a journeyman for 12 months who treats us like a retirement pot.

    People are easily pleased ,we have signed a goalkeeper who hasn’t played a game for 4 years and now a lad who has potential but not what I was expecting as in a proven division 1 player that I was hoping for ,early days but not the class signings I was hoping for as yet , a lot of time yet but we need better if we’re going to get out of this division

    If Paudie leaves then good luck to him. I'm sure we'll find another averagely good central defender and maybe they won't be so hot headed and in danger of being sent off every few games.

    I remember in 1983 and 1984 signing a young reject from Coventry then another reject from Coventry followed by signing a defender from Halifax town. We were skint then but Greg Abbott, John Hendrie and Dave Evans didn’t turn out too bad. It’s all about trusting the manager and his recruiting team.

    And what changed just after Christmas?

    The manager.

    Could it be that we had a few players, such as Vernam (and Watt), who, with the benefit of being properly coached, showed the ability they have...?

    Pre-Hughes, we were monumentally mismanaged

    Better to find talent before they cost a fortune than paying over the odds. Let’s hope the judgement and the scouting is up to standard
