Ex Player Ex-Player Thread

Alex Fisher on the bench for Exeter in the playoff first leg tie at Colchester
16 league appearances this season (13 of which from the bench) and just one goal...

I suspect he will be working in an office come the autumn

Holmes-Dennis is a decent player been very unlucky with injuries so far in his career.

Would have him in a heartbeat if we’re still in L1 next season.

Unfortunately, too much of an injury risk when we still have Robbie Hall and the possibility of a salary cap.

Raglan just scored for Cheltenham.

Raglan just scored for Cheltenham.

Maybe, or maybe an own goal

Eh?

Pointless post - looked like a pretty good header to me.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

It was. It *did* come off the shoulder of a Northampton player on it's way past the keeper, but it wasn't an own goal.

Canice Carroll released by Stevenage.

Canice Carroll released by Stevenage.

Along with many others, they apparently used 50 players this season.

Edit: Hopefully for his sake he finds a new club.

I see Jonte Smith was playing for Cheltenham too last night. (1 sub appearance for us against Blackpool).

Sykes, Woodburn, Kelly, Henry, Thorne, Hanson and Browne (did well at Ipswich) - Goodhram has also looked good in his EFL Trophy appearances.

Of all the positions, Midfield is the strongest with the amount of cover available to us.

Kelly and Thorne DCMs in my example

Woodburn coming back from injury

Henry seems better wide right linking up with Taylor

Hanson out of favour

Browne same as Henry, if you play him in midfield who plays wide left?

If Brannigan was injured you’re looking at Sykes and Woodburn in midfield, or maybe Sykes and Hanson, doesn’t seem super strong to me.

Centre back is a lot stronger - Dickie, Moore, Mousinho, Atkinson, Long, Jones can all do a job there

I disagree. I think Kelly would be a more than able deputy for Branaghan.

Hanson would more likely come in if Gorrin was injured. Although you describe him as out of favour, he was just coming back from injury when the league was suspended.

From what I saw of his brief appearances Kelly seemed to be more of a deep lying player, but who knows... I’d have thought Kelly or Thorne would replace Gorrin rather than Hanson but it depends on the opposition and what kind of player we were going for I suppose

 

[Left Wing Cross]

I think that Kelly's positioning was more down to his lack of fitness rather than an inability to fulfill the role but hopefully Brannagan will be fine and we won't need to find out.

Is Thorne still around ??

Yes

 

[Gregortheox]

I think the pandemic has thrown an opportunity for a few players. Woodburn, Kelly, Thorne, Hanson and co need to be working their socks off to force their way in. If the season would've stayed on course as normal, it would have come around too soon for the above I feel. We could have some very interesting options come 3rd July.

 

[BigCrompy]

Wonder if Woodburn’s contractual clause that he starts or we pay more is still applicable...and to what extent that influences team selection..?

 

[Concretebob]

Emiliano Martinez has just come on for the injured Bernd Leno for Arsenal. Remember him?
