[steve16190]

[Donnyrovers]

I think Paul Goodwin tweeted yesterday saying the club was submitting the list this evening so there's still time yet.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

It said submitted to the fa not to the public.

I know but I can't imagine it been too much later once they have submitted to the football league that they then release it to the fans.

Me too,  BJW.  I can't imagine his wages would have been too much either.

[DRFC MYERS]

Even though woods isnt the best keeper and made a few mistakes this year was shocked at him being let go

[mrfrostsdad]

The biggest shock for me is Bennett staying.
If he'd showed as much passion on the occasions he was on the pitch as he did throwing things around in the dressing room after we'd won promotion, he may have been worth a place in the squad.

I find it very strange that three consecutive managers have used him as a bench warmer for the last two seasons, yet we have/are giving him another contract.  How long has he been here? Three seasons? And he's started 41 games.

Still, at least we'll have a reserve team for him to play in

This is his second season isn't it? two years running ending up on the bench might give him the shock he needs.

Besides, the new man could well kick his arse into gear. Only time will tell but we could end up with another Andy Watson.

[DonnyOsmond]

Joined the season we got relegated, so that's two seasons.

[mrfrostsdad]

Andy Watson was a good player, but at bottom division level. Doubt he would have cut it in the Championship.
I used to think Bennett had quality, but was hiding pretty well. NOw i'm not convinced he has. I hope a new manager will get more out of him, but SOD, Saunders and Flynn failed to, so I see it difficult to see how anyone else will

[mrfrostsdad]

And yes, my mistake, he's been here 2 seasons, not 3

[roversdude]

Went downhill once JR offered him Bentley must have thought he was lord of the manor, then realised it was only a drive in his car

No but he could have played higher than the Conference with us, even if not much. Piss poor attitude made sure he never to my knowledge made it out of the non leagues.
