Radio Wiltshire reporting that both Steve Robinson and Steve Book won't be given new contracts.  Hardly a surprise.  Also saying that one 'unnamed' player also to be given the boot ...

Hope this isn't the extent of Kingy's cull ... needs to go deeper than this!!

I'm sure they'll be plenty more leaving yet, not all out of choice.

There's a few I'd like to see go - I suppose the trouble is that without depth in the squad you're never going to have competition for places, and you're going to get the problem of laziness and players thinking they'll never be dropped ... or at least not for long.

Get your money on Hewlett

Good luck to Turbo.

I'll never forget this goal....

"There is no sentiment in football and I have to get on with things. Some of the players I am talking to have stuck by me through thick and thin but these things happen. We have to move on," finished King.

GET OUT HEWLETT HEYWOOD & DUKE!!

i cant beleive Kings inability to seee how good Robinson is!  He is our only tackling midfeilder!  Possibly Garrrard too i suppose

i always thought he gave the ball away too much, but at least he won it back - unlike that poolett (spot the clever play on words)

I reckon the missing player is 1 of Duke, Hewlett or Igoe... I would like to see igoe stay even though i know a lot seem to be against him. personally i think probably 2 more will leave because they dont like the offer (Rhys but then again why would king let steve go if he thinks rhys wont sign, and either duke or Hewlett depending which 1 doesnt get offered a contract, but i think both of them will go someway)

I think it might be heywood??
It seems a bit more likely that rhys will be staying as he has said he does not want to unsettle his family who are living in swindon.

Bloody hope not, Heywood is much better than Ifil.

Turbo has been a fair servant to the club and if there was no intention to play him Kign should have let him go back to Notts County when he had the opportunity.

Past couples of seasons he’s been unlucky.  Pre-season and at the start of last year he looked superb in the right wing back role until he broke his leg.

Because of all the pissing about with formations this year he never seemed to get settled into any position or was given the opportunity.

Reeves as steady as he’s been get him of the wage bill for next season so we can bring in a younger replacement. He can always be registered and called upon if needs be.

Book is fair enough.  I’d rather chance a younger keeper on minimum wage than an older pro drawing a wage bill.  That said with the transfer window next season it’s going to have to be someone fairly capable of filling in otherwise we could end up with a monkey in the sticks for a few months.

I think were looking at Howard as the as the shock unnamed player.

Don’t read anything into what Calamity says but I get the impression that aside from the two players he mentions who won’t be getting what they want the other five will be on similar to what they are already on or not to far off.

Brilliant to at least see it getting sorted so early even if the results aren’t pleasant if it’s left to fester over the summer it only causes problems.

I don't think Robinson's done anything this year to warrant a new contract, he's done ok in the past but he's not a great player.

I think notts county pulled out of signing him as they weren't sure who was going to be manager but wouldn't be surprised if he ended up there.

In the interview on the site King list a possible 10 players going in total.  He says 5 players will not get the offer they're expecting, which I would imagine means they may be expected to take a wage drop if they stay.  I think Howard may be going too, although I think that will be a huge mistake as that boy has potential.  He's quality, and definitely has desire.

I'm not overly worried about anyone leaving this season, as recently we've been bollocks and a shake-up can only improve things, hopefully!

Thats probably because he hasnt been played, however remember when we played Hull (2nd in the league, championship side) at the County Ground and we totally battered them....who bossed the midfield that day, I know its only performance but surely given a go he could have put in more performances like the on in question

Robbo is twice the player of Hewlett.

well, shame about book and robinson but looks like theres more ahead. how interesting.

I bet Hewlett and Duke both get new contracts...just to piss us all off!!

Robinson has always been better than Hewlett.

Can't understand people wanting rid of Heywood.  He's been our best defender of late, and in this division, he is th perfect type - big, and can head it.  If peopel moved for him when he's on the ball, he wouldn't have to resort to playing it around the back or lumping it forward.

I think Hewlett deserves a bit more respect. He is much better than Robinson.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick

Heywood's worth another chance, yeah he hasn't performed too well this season but he's ideal for this league.  In a team performing well Heywood would be an important member.

Hewlett, Evans, Robinson, Igoe, Parkin.  I'd say at least 4 of those five will leave.  I am of course just speculating

I'd rather have Hewlett than Robinson in central midfield. Robinson hasn't convinced me he's any better played there. At Hull he might have been alright, at Colchester home, Huddersfield home, Notts County he was shit.

Hewlett was part of and in fact captain of the team that went 11 games unbeaten last year and he played very well then, problem is when we don't play well he's often one of the worst.

I can never recall these times he supposedly played 'very well'.  I've never once sat down and thought, 'oooh, i'm glad we had Hewlett in there today'
