    I doubt they compiled the stats, but good catch nonetheless!

    Seems representative from what I've read.

    I’d say East is the most probable like-for-like replacement for Watt. That is unless we have someone else lined up to replace watt.

    As for Crichlow. A back 3 of him, Platt, an songo’o in the middle would work with Crichlow being the ball playing CB on the left an Songo’o being deployed in the middle as a sweeper

    It would be interesting to see how other Swindon defenders compared to this, some of the stats like shots blocked and duels could be low just because they faced less due to being a better team that was attacking more like in the Premier League Ederson made fewer saves than 19 goalkeepers last season but he's nowhere near being the 20th best goalkeeper

    Looks like he's gone around for the best offer. Better to have a fee than have them leave on a free.

    not much of a loss in all.

    Well thats a side step. Hardly an ambitious move. They probably offerred him a few extra quid a week.

    Think we are better off without. We wont have been paying him peanuts in comparison.

    Just a money move. More reasons to hope they finish below us!

    Dion Conroy was the most active defender in terms of physical 'duals' (lol, sorry, referring to the post above yours) - looks like he was their blood and thunder defender, as well as their captain.

    Interestingly, he has since left Swindon.

    What a strange move that is and clearly one that's made with only money in mind.

    He'll have had better footballing opportunities on the table, us being one of them but he's gone to make a quick quid instead of trying to further his career.

    A year under Hughes does well he gets himself a championship move and on four times the amount he’s getting at Salford. Crazy decision he’s been really poorly advised.

    Its been a busy day for Watt. A change in clubs, but more importantly, a change in agent as well

    At last he's out of the door.
    Money talks, certainly not ambition in my opinion.

    Seems a lacklustre move does this. Happy we get a fee but Salford are terrible. expected him to move to L1. Sideways move for the player at best given the direction we are moving in under Hughes.

    Enjoyable player to watch on his day, though. thanks for your efforts Elliott.

    Clearly no league one club wanted to take a punt or give a good wage offer because of having to pay compo is he was left with going for money at Salford or staying and he chose to go.

    No sleepless nights for me. Good luck to him but it feels an odd move
