Good to hear but part of that maybe the adrenaline rush in a special one of game.Lets not forget he is 34 now not 24 .Brutal facts are there are probably players out there available to us now who can do a better job than Disley in that postion. I like the fact he shows a affinity to this club but its horses for courses.If he would have been retained by one of his former clubs eg Bristol Rovers he wouldent of been with us now. Loyalty only goes so far as players are concerned and  they will want whats best for themselves at the end of the day


Don't get me wrong. I can be a sentimental fool with the rest of them, but I can be as ruthless as.....hmmmmm.....Paul Hurst.  And yeah, adrenaline can help on those special occasions. Those younger lads didn't have that rush though.

34 is not so old these days plus with Dis we get the benefit of his experience which I think more than balances any minor loss of physicality.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Reason why I said what I said about his legs going was lets not forget he got released from Bristol Rovers when they were in league 1 back in 2008-2009.Ive seen him a few times this season and in one of the games looked one of our best technical players alongside Gowling among those who started.I remember saying back in October 2015 we should give him another deal as I was impressed that day.However since seeing him again later on in the campaign near the back end of this season when he played with Nolan I wasn't as impressed second time round.More than likely because Nolan was better technically and played with more energy.


So his legs were going when he was 27!

A player getting released doesn't mean they're bad or their legs are going. I'd wager at least 95% of players at L2 level and below have been released at some point and there are various accompanying factors, not purely that they aren't up to the job.

I still feel though if a player is good enough they wont be released.By and large if your any good you will rise to the top

The point still remains, nearly every player is released at some stage unless they are right at the very top. Even the players being signed by L1 clubs at the minute have mostly been released.

I can't see any reason why Risley won't play over 30 games for us this coming season, he's  more than capable to hold down a spot in a league 2 side even at 34.We was just incredibly  lucky to have him during our non league  stint as I'm  convinced he could have been plying his trade in the league over the last five years.

I think signing a remand centre will give us some bite in midfield certainly
