In conjunction with Jarmo; I remember being sat in the stands end of last season and said to the guy next to me that we had a nucleus of a decent side in Pearson, Clements, J Osbourne & Sam Jones. They’ve all gone through the exit door. The next ‘nucleus’ potential wise of players under contract consists of Dembele and Zak Mills for me. Nice work Russ 👍🏻👍🏻

This is the sad reality of whats happened.

So many good players at this level gone and no way near replaced.

Our team against plymouth last season had:
Andrew - granted he was too good for us, so was difficult to keep
Pearson
McCalister - who is still here sort of...
Osborne
Clements
Comley - Although i'm not sure how good he actually was?
Jones
Dyson - was actually a decent player
Disley - okay, right time for him to go

They would probably all walk into saturday's team

Agreed they’d all walk in to Saturdays side on their individual form at the time. My god we have missed Danny Andrew overlapping this season! Zero comparison between him and Dixon who somehow earned himself a two year deal! Gobsmacking.

Quoted from Davec
He set up links with the college so maybe that was something good from his tenure and he invested into data analysis and fitness, not that it's done much good.


No idea what the links with the college are but with regard to data analysis and fitness, not sure what that has brought us apart from all 11 players back for corners and some players looking fooked well before the end of matches.

Signed Dembele.
Didn't sell McKeown.

I think that is about it.

Another positive for me during the reign of Russell Slade was..

I love the term "bang average"

I don't know why, but I really like it..

I read it so many times on here while he was our manager..

Unfortunately it was used mostly to describe the better players in our squad..

The most remarkable thing about this season is that we did relatively ok for the first part of it. I think that was down more to good luck than bad luck in the latter half.

Signing Dembele, getting rid of Gunning.

Yeah thats me out - you have to be amazed that he could get so much wrong


I think Gunning gets a lot of unfair criticism on this site. Bignot only signed him to the end of the season and nobody knows if he would have been retained in the summer. Slade released him and he went to Port Vale where , by all accounts , he was quite a favourite with the fans and I do believe played at left back. He left them to go to Village Green Rovers on more money and they have moved up the table to above us. I think he is a reasonable defender at this level but unfortunately Bignot tried to use him as a defensive mid-fielder at every opportunity which seemed to alienate him from the fans.
