And then there was one....

[Beefy]

With the departure of Gary Hooper, only Peter Clarke remains from the starting XI who beat Manchester United just 21 months ago (although Simon Francis came on as sub that night). That's an incredible turnover of players, particularly considering Tilly's lack of contacts in the game.

I did a very similar thread a week or so ago that once Flavs leaves, Barrett will be our only player left from the league 1 championship winning team.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

I'd been thinking this aswell, amazing turnaround in a short space. Still need to replace some of the players. Have to give Tilly some credit as he dosent have the best resources.

Don't worry , you'll only have to wait 2 weeks and then you can start a thread entilted ' And then there was none '

 

[maninasuitcase]

The trouble is we haven't really brought in better players in most areas, just different ones

Plus Frank Moussa and Charles Ademeno made a couple of sub appearances in that season, however were not and still not 1st team regulars

Teams change, you have a clear out, get new players in...Dunno what all the drama is all about. Chances are, we could have a great season and everyone will be saying Gower who, Flavs who etc etc...

This just seems like another one of those never ending negative threads

I dont think Beefy is being negative just stating a fact!

Talking about an incredible turnover of players is leading to a negative debate. Someone put a positive spin on this!

 

[colinsharpe]

when a squad fails to either stay in there current league from being promoted from the previous one or faling to gain promotion from the league they just got relegated from you then know u need a wholesale

If you're taking a fact to be a negative then you're the one being pessimistic.

Well done, totally agree.

The squad we have clearly isn't good enough so let us have a clear out and get some fresh blood in...

I am not negative about any of this, I am glad we are having a clear out..new players fresh and hungry for success.

The way people were carrying on about Flavs, Gower etc etc, you would think they were world class players that were moving on!

World class they might not have been, but the best we have had over the last few years then ofcourse we are sad to see them leaving, how often do you get footballers serving lower league clubs for aslong as they have

 

[colinsharpe]

ahwell whats done is done.

talking about things that have happened isnt going to change anything lol

Don't recall anyone coming in for Gower or Flavs before tho..so they only served for us as nobody else wanted them.. Gower went as someone wanted him and Flavs went cos we didn't anymore..



As Colin says, it's the past, what has happened has happened, lets start talking about the squad we have now...no more mention of former players then!!
