......looks likely they want a donkey CH.....its easy to see why and as Heywood is out of contract he will be free and they can raise his wage.

     I wont be too sorry to see him go.

Where did you hear this, Reg?

Ive always rated Heywood big central defender and better than ifil

Think we'd be better off without him.

I don't think we'd be better off without him, but he might be easily replaced. I still think he and O'Hanlon can do a job in this division.

Matt Hewlett was offered a contract. :shock:  bloody money grabbing twat.

My trouble with Heywood has never been his ability to win the ball at the back - it's what he does afterwards. He's one of the worst offenders for spanking the ball up - usually with cries of 'hoooooooooof' from the crowd.

I'll be very sorry to see Matty Heywood go.  Technically not always the best but a solid enough sturdy centre half for this level.

I guarantee that Hewlett was not offered a contract and todays story is the reason he kept it quiet.  Gives him an element of bargaining power when he looks for a new club, it sounds so much better when you have turned down a contract rather having been released on a free.

That said a wholesale clearout may be just the ticket.

Heywoods not a bad player and I could see why city would want him or someone of his ilk.

They've been weak in the air at the back for a while now, Henderson tore them apart at trashton gate. That said he was being marked by 5 foot 9 Matt Hill who they've since sold.

I'd be sad to see Heywood go, especially as he's just got back to full fitness and returned to form. I think we'd miss him, but wouldn't be terribly difficult to replace.

Ifil,although not great this season,has the potential to be a better CH than Heywood-his distribution is somewhat better and he does have pace.A decent coach could do something with him.

Ifills distribution better??????

At least Heywood's hoofs stay in play (sometimes :D )

doubt it. king will give him a contract i bet. Heywood doesn't seem like someone who is on alot of money anyway. don't why, just doesn't...

I did say "somewhat"i.e. he finds a player sometimes,unlike The Hoof!

I think Heywood is an important player, and although some areas of his game need to be improved (distribution and awareness), at times he can be solid as a rock, like he was vs City.

good player,can be replaced but idrarther keep him

Quality in the air, not very good on the floor, however in this division with the amount of hoofball you need someone big and solid in the air...

Still if we do get rid we have a better replacment on the bench anyways....Reeeeeeves

Defensively, City were awful in the air.

Heywood is immense in that respect.

They could do a lot worse.
