So that makes 18:14 - Jun 9 with 4981 views | Cheltenham_Blue | Four players, considered first team players at the start of the season, all heading for League Two with no apparent interest above that level. "Strongest squad in the league on paper", and all that stuff. |  |

Exactly why Wilson said they weren't ready to go up. What will it be? Judge. Huws. Skuse. Chambers. ward colchester? Wilson - Plymouth Edwards - MK Dons? Bishop.... ( colc bound imo) Jackson... Drinan.... Holy/Cornell... Dozzell only one linked with a club higher than town so far [Post edited 9 Jun 2021 19:31]

That's 32 year old Wilson. 32 y/o Judge. 35 y/o Ward. 35 y/o Skuse. 35 y/o Chambers. Cannot fathom why they're not moving up the leagues now. |  |

Was told last night that Bishop is likely to end up at MK Dons, was surprised when told, seeing as they’ve just signed Scott Twine. |  | |  |

Also strange some of them have chosen to go to Colchester. I'm sure that them being older players with families had nothing to do with the decision. |  |

I wonder what wages they will be on there. A grand a week? |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I'm not surprised either. The point being is they are moving to clubs in a lower position than ourselves yet 4 of those you mention were big parts of our first 11 this season. It will overall be interesting where everyone ends up. [Post edited 9 Jun 2021 20:02]

This. We were told repeatedly that all of these made up the strongest squad in the league except non of our released players can even maintain their league level. Chambo even thought he was worthy of another contract. My big worry at the moment, is that even though most of our players have been told they can move on, seemingly, the only interest so far is in Dozzell. And if we don't move players out, that could really impact what Cook is trying to do here. My point was, if this really is the best squad in the league, you'd think we would be knee deep in offers, or at the very least, rumours. Nope, Dozzell and thats it. |  |

If it's true that Edwards thought it worthwhile even to have talks with Colchester before eventually signing for Wigan, (who presumably will pay the same kind of wages as Town), it suggests that Colchester are prepared to pay some players quite a bit. Colchester have offloaded seven of their top eight highest earners, (Gerken being the exception.) But I'd guess generally Chambers and any other older players will be halfway down the Colchester pay-scale (again, Gerken is the exception), with any bigger salaries spent attracting players with potential sell-on value. |  | |  |

I thought that was such a bizarre statement to make given we had just been relegated with a rapidly declining squad, whilst underestimating this league and showing a lack of respect to it and the teams in it. I know it was a little tongue in cheek, but beneath that there was genuine thought that we would get 100 points and 100 goals, which given the previous 3 seasons, we would be nowhere near achieving those numbers. |  |

In our first 11 games, playing a pretty basic 442, we ended up with 27 points from 11 games which is an incredible record. But Lambert just started chopping and changing and it got us nowhere. --------------------Jackson----------Norwood----------------- Rowe-------------Skuse---------------Downes--------Edwards Garbutt----------Chambers-----------Woolf-----------Vincent-Young ---------------------------------Holy------------------------------- A decent spine through the centre of the team |  |
