Let’s not start spouting sour grapes Paudie is a decent player and decided to move up a league wish him well and move on

 

So Paudie's gone.

 

I get the impression thst Hughes prefers central defenders to be more comfortable on the ball with better distribution than Songo'o, so that's my reasoning.

I agree Songo"o did well at the back after Hughes came in, still don't think he will be first choice.

 

I'm yet to see him be a commanding league two centre half so imo he'll have to improve massively to reach that level.

 

Good luck to him, hopefully we will be passing him for 23/24. Not irreplaceable.

 

Never understood why Wednesday, who will be expected to get automatic promotion would be interested in a player, that for most of his career with us as his been the weaker CB.

But good luck to him, he was a likeable character and certainly a player who gave his all.

 

I'm sure that @Parader is been a bit tongue in cheek. Certainly I hope so as I'm trying to remember what "successful side" we've had!!

 

Yes, amazing how Watt, Paudie and Vernam have turned into world beaters in the last couple of months.

 

Paudie's strength was he always went in where it hurt, his weakness was that most of the time he was so late that the danger had passed or the other team had scored. I would have loved us to sign a replacement and keep him as back up rather than Kelleher, perhaps thats what we planned and thats why he left.

Either way, he and Watt are the two I'll lose no sleep over leaving. If Vernham goes too he will be the hardest to replace, but I'd be happy to take a punt on Eisa because I dont think Eisa and Vernham would be playing together anyway.

 

As soon as we signed Platt you knew he was off.

With East and Paddy here in midfield, it’s inevitable Watt will be the next confirmed departure.

 

. Now I'm 60, the losses are immediately dumped from my memory!!

 

i think he must be. Not bothered about this in the slightest tbh its time to freshen things up here after the recent disappointing seasons. Vernon and Watt i would be more bothered about, a clogger centre half less so.

 

He won’t get a championship move now though so the next step up for him is a league 1 club.

 

It's quite a sad endictment of where we are that anyone actually sees Paudie as a loss. We can do better.

 

Who said he’s had plenty of offers, Lincoln perhaps? All clubs use spin!

 

Good luck to the lad, not his biggest fan but he’s gone up a league, probably a few bob increase in salary. Hope it works out well for him but I suspect we’ll survive

east is the new Watt

 

Watt will leave but the compensation is a stumbling block for a lad who's not certain to make someone else some money and for league one clubs who aren't all flush.

I suspect Watt is off to a league one club because that is why he said "see you soon" to Paudie. Not because he was joining Lincoln but because he was going to a league one club.

 

Don’t disagree in you anology of Songo’o, however his cumbersome pace may be a worry. MH has stopped that formation wherby the back two sits on the halfway line when the unit if going forward, but I just don’t see him as a “ proper” CB. I agree he’s been awesome as a makeshift one though.
