Zak Mills, very unlucky not to be offered a contract, a lot better than some that will be here next season as it stands, little between him and Hall-Johnson, and was one who kept battling all through the bad spell

Very good player.
He will go on to better things.
Big mistake letting him go.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

If we have a new right back next season, in the Richard Tait mould, he will soon be forgotten. We have to trust the judgement of the manager, especially this manager, who seems to know what he's doing. I think we have become used to average players as fans, and anyone even slightly above average is seen as a loss when they leave. Let's get some more like Tait and Danny Andrew at the club. I don't think Mills ever progressed after looking promising at first.

A surprise to me as I think Mills is a decent player. I think, perhaps, that RHJ's extra pace has counted in his favour and got him the position. Might give an indication as to what Jolley is looking for next season. Mills much better in the air than RHJ, however.

We've certainly played against teams with worse full-backs than Mills so it wouldn't surprise me if we faced him next season. If not, I'd hope he'll find a decent Conference team.

Trust Jolley. You don't know who he's got lined up to come in

Plus, wages are always a factor which most fans don't even consider.

Decent player for me , a great shame we are stuck with Dixon on the wage bill. I was a fan and would have been pleased to see him stay utm Jolley has been great and so I guess that is good enough utm

There are many better right backs out there. Bit surprised as thought mills would be useful as a squad player for his versatility but think his lack of footballing ability was his downfall. No doubt jolle y has a better replacement already in place

Think Mills was a good all-round athlete and defended OK generally. But while he had the energy to get up and down the right flank, it was his quality on the ball in the opposition half that was always his weakness.

Lot of people seem surprised or disappointed at his release, yet we don't know who his replacement will be yet.

A decent player for us for a couple of years, but certainly not irreplaceable.

Wish him well though.

Certainly wish Mills well, but I also think he has gone backwards this season after a good first season in league football. Poor going forward, but a competent defender. Was a little surprised he was released though but that is probably due to the development of a younger and probably cheaper Hall-Johnson (also a bit surprised at Woolford being retained but in MJ we trust).
Could well see Mills playing against us next season in the football league.
