Retained list

I think we must be getting tips off the same bloke Bailiff!

 

Well that’s one way of agreeing with me ParkDidnt hurt did it?

 

I think it was something in between but I will let you have it

 

Good man!

Let’s say this.

After an horrific season Wood was released after failing to fulfil early promise?

Both camps happy?

 

Pleased with that list. Now bring in the quality needed to get out of this league. Gone have most of the defeatists and no appetite for a battle.

 

According to this we have had two of league two’s best players

 

Is that your own competition?

Right-back: Anthony O'Connor (Bradford) - 7.14 rating
Bradford endured a difficult campaign, finishing 15th in League Two. That said, they at least have two players in the League Two best XI for 2020/21, with Anthony O'Connor featuring at right-back. Only two players won more WhoScored.com man-of-the-match awards than O'Connor (seven) this season.

Centre-back: Paudie O'Connor (Bradford) - 7.21 rating
Paudie O'Connor is the second Bradford defender in the best XI. The 23-year-old was proactive at the heart of the Bantams backline, making the fourth most clearances (237) in the division. O' Connor also ranked highly for interceptions (77).

 

There must be some really poor right backs in league 2 then for AOC to get that

 

Let it go Park. Seasons finished.

 

Let what go I am simply posting this from sky sports and making no comment s

 

No surprises in those leaving. Either too old, too sick or we never saw them. I'd be surprised if Evans didn't move on and there's still question marks over both keepers

 

Not surprised by Paudie's stats - he seemed to be the busiest defender in years with all the work expected of him

 

An utter slap in the face to any self respecting right back.

 

Mellor one or one season, make your own judgements from that.

 

Yep, and we're no doubt on the verge of signing one

 

What a complete joke we are starting again from scratch how can people be happy letting wood go , never missed a game plus would get better and better in a good team , where’s all the money coming from to start again .if you think o Conner and Canaan are the answer at back ,they are far to slow as his Staunton

 

Because
Wood’s contract has expired, maybe he told the club doesn’t want to sign a new one, which given how he has played wouldn’t surprise me.
He’s one of the biggest earners and we can do better for less money.
He’s not kicked on from that early promise, has played nearly 200 games and is 25 in July.
He isn’t that good we need to break the bank for him.
He’s a hangover from the Rahic years.
Maybe a change of scenery will do City and Wood a favour.

 

The only player I'm surprised to see on the list is Novak and out of all if them he is the only one one I would have wanted to retain but hey ho a whole new strike force to recruit. I suspect Wood wanted away anyway. Good luck to them all.

I'm very much hoping we have had in depth discussion with the new management team before we sign anyone. This needed to happen. Would like to see Evans moved on too tbh he's looked disillusioned and if he doesn't want to be here he needs to move on.
