This is odd.  Makes the decision to try and offload Disley even odder.

He's already told Disley and McAllister they can go so that was understood to be the trimming down of the squad.  

If all 3 go that leaves us (taking into account the lads out on loan) with Maxwell, Comley, Osborne and Clements.  Plus Berrett who I don't expect to feature again for us.  

Not a lot of back up or experience there at all.  Unless he's considering Davies and Gunning as serious midfielders?  Maxwell and Comley are young lads, Comley already had a wobble when he got tired before Xmas.  Osborne surely won't be expected to last 90 minutes every game having made the jump up from semi-pro to pro in mid-season?


It's not exactly that though is it? He wants Sean McAllister to go out on loan to get some game time following an extended period of injury and he wants Dis to leave when Dis wants to, rather than be kicked out in the summer when no-one is likely to want to take him at his age.

McAllister has been long term injured and he needs games now, lots of them. No point in him hanging about at BP for the odd reserve outing is it? His recovery needs testing in match situations. I don't think he is in the same bracket as some of the others, MB probably wants to see if he will make it back and will have him watched at a loan club. The same applies to Clifton & Venney. I'm guessing we should expect a decision on all 3 in April/May.

Fair points, I only half read the article.  My bad.

Mills can also play a central midfield role to some degree as well, of course.

Whether we want him to be playing there or not is a different matter as we should surely have enough specialists to play in the middle?

Disley has been a great servant to this club, and goes down as a legend IMO

however, there has to be a time when you end it... All good things have to come to an end

All very sensible and reasonable and if Dis and Josh do want and get early moves good luck to them in the future.

I would add though Dis could still feature strongly between now and seasons end, skilful, good in the air, pinches the odd important goal or two and rides tackles well to avoid injuries.

As for Summerfield, I think he'd actually be OK in a midfield three. Good energy, puts in a tackle or two, is generally a decent enough passer and his intermittent lapses in concentration are less likely to cost us with two other players alongside him. I seem to recall that Plymouth fans were saying he ran the game when we beat them 3-0 earlier in the season?

He obviously doesn't fit into Bignot's plans so I wish him well as he's always given his best that I can recall. Would probably be quite a useful player in the Conference so perhaps a move back to York would be a good one for him?

Absolutely. Its just the natural order of things. Think MB has treated him with respect.

And he deserves nothing less!

The term legend gets thrown about too much these days, i see someone call Hearn it on twitter the other day, which is a bit much IMO

However Disley is most certainly a legend.
