    Yes, very true and ultimately we can only have so many players in the squad. We have cover at right back and we lack cover in the middle and left side so unfortunately it's the right decision for the club.

    Always gave his all but never quite good enough to break into the team or even be reliable back up in my opinion

    Wood won't sign a new contract, he's on a wage above the salary cap, I wouldn't neither if I was him, let him play out his contract and he will sign a new one inline with the salary cap or he won't there's not much we can do about that, what I will say is he was the best of an underperforming group, surley he just looks average now? Rowe, novak, Sutton, Clarke, cook, FCD, Staunton, canavan, paudi, 2 of the keepers! Surley all as good or better than him? I wouldn't worry

    The lad has tried his best, generally played out of position. I'd question that he is "crap". The problem that Trueman and Sellars are creating for themselves is when you fill a squad with players of roughly the same quality, you run the risk if some of those players can't even make the bench, become disenchanted and disrupt team spirit. Some would say "it's a nice problem to have" but, in reality, it can work against you. French is only young, capable of being developed and could have adequately filled in if called upon.

    Could well be a decent player there, but needs to play regularly, like any youngster. Not easy for anyone in the present circumstances living a long way from home. Good luck to him.

    No real surprise and it's what he needed. Good luck to him.

    I didn't think he did badly either, but this feels like the ruthless clear out Parky did with all those promising kids years ago.

    Is French good enough to get in a promotion ready side? No. So he's gone.

    Right back incoming.

    Unfortunately never really got a chance at CB and although he did well at RB / RWB at times he never really looked like nailing down a regular starting spot.
    With Staunton and Hosannah to come back and Foulds eligible for next Sat, I don't see how he will make the bench anymore so probably the best decision.
    I'd expect him to have a new deal lined up in the conference to be announced shortly, best of luck to him!

    Surprised really, thought there was a player in there and possibly a loan deal may have been appropriate to see if he comes on with game time. That said it’s a numbers game and if it enables someone to come in that will be part of the squad then probably right decision. Good luck Tyler

    This is the first one we have let go where I think we could have got a sell on fee for, but not long left on his contract which actually could be huge in comparison to the wages cap so onwards and upwards and wish him all the best, where did he fit? Canavan now in prime position for 2nd or 3rd centre back, hosanna, Staunton there for full backs, folds as back up

    Assuming FCD continues to kick on he will need competition next season Hosannah won’t be here which means we will be searching for a right back in the Summer. He would have been worth keeping. Having said that it depends how we used the saved money on other positions

    Don't really agree with this decision, but good luck to him. Always gave 100% and has improved. We must have others coming in tomorrow, so making room in the squad.
    Just because he has been released doesn't mean he's s***e, the management are making room in the squad.

    Well got to be honest I didn't think he was up to much. Can't fault his effort but as far as ability goes I couldn't see it but good luck to him.
