I was at the supporters club dinner tonight and heard it that as many as 8 have been offered new deals but some won't sign, but one player that will be here next year is Diagouraga who has accepted a new 1 year deal, that is straight from the man himself. He also said that the players have been told that they will be fined 2 weeks wages if they return over a certain weight.
Diagouraga wasn't out of contract so it'll be (kind of) interesting to see if that new deal is an extra year or reduced terms (or both). |

To enlighten those not on such platforms, I’m reliably informed Tans refers to a video of Woolery saying to Conroy ‘last time I’m going to see you’ and then downing a drink.
He might have been referring to the drink...... |

Broadbent+Nelson > Broadbent+Conroy
I like Conroy but hes not brilliant hes just better than most defenders we have had in the last few years when he is on form, he has probably cost us a fair few goals when he has not been on his best form.
Struggles to head a ball quite often and his tackling is a little wayward but he can pick out a long pass...although not as often as he actually tries to pick out a long pass, Woolfs distribution was better most of the season.
I will be happy if he does sign but I won't be too disappointed if he doesn't.
Mind you that pretty much sums up the whole squad at the moment.

We need more than 2 CBs, and neither Nelson nor Broadbent can pass a football. Take Nelson anyway, and if Conroy moves on, replace him with a ball-playing defender. |

A little unfair on Broadbent, before he had his break his passing was fine, when he came back it wasn't but he was very rusty. |

He might have been referring to the drink......
He also might have been referring to the fact that they won't see each other again until pre-season. Might be true, but could also be 2+2=5 |

Nobody suggested that we have only 2 centre backs, all I was saying is that as a pairing I would prefer Nelson over Conroy if it came down to a choice. We will probably have several other targets anyway and actually end up with neither of them! |

Yeah his passing in his first 3 or 4 games was as good as Woolf or Conroy, since he came back after injury though that dipped a bit. I do think we will have 3 first team centre backs come season start though. |

Couple more interesting names cropping up on release lists.
Ben Garratt (gk) released by Crewe. Still only 25, 220 FL appearances.
Jamie Ness released by Plymouth. 100+ L1 games.

To be fair a decent defensive CB who can pick out a decent pass is highly unlikely to be playing in L2... |
