That's the sad thing really, Williams and Rose have actually done what we as fans always like to see and moved to the area and seem to be happy here.
Perhaps with a proper pre season and a decent manager last year, they might have actually been decent for us. Rose did actually have a couple of games where he genuinely looked good (though not enough) but also looked woefully unfit and i believe was injured for the last stretch of the season according to Hurst at least.
Williams...well he looked brilliant in patches and anonymous in others, but was never given a stretch of games in a settled position at any point in the season. Was brought back from the wilderness and then subsequently disappeared again, so we can probably assume Hurst isn't a fan.
Williams might be the type of player to thrive in a team that is going well, I'm hoping that is proven correct next season providing he is still with us. |

Whether we've seen it or not, we know Williams has (or at least had) ability. Joke all you like about the Welsh national team, he was in their squad at a major tournament in which they found themselves in the semi-final and would end up in the top 10 of FIFA's world rankings shortly after. Conference-level players don't do that. Did injury do for him? I don't know, but I hope and wonder if we can get a proper fitness and sports science team in place for next season then he may well yet turn out to be a pleasant surprise for us. |

i've been a fierce critic of his as i believe he does have talent, shown by his cameo at Mansfield, but has he got the fight and bottle? i dont think so. 7 Caps no doubt is not something too be sniffed at but when you arent getting in the matchday squad when theres places available on the bench, just begs the question |

Nice to know Kingston works for a very, very successful company and Herts family business is a billion£ plus company. Only one word to say
SPONSORSHIP Please ( sorry that's 2 words )
Just a thought.

I know how it goes. I was worked for one of the largest companies in their field. MD had his own dining room and chef; directors in their dining room with their own chef and managers had their dining room with their chef, all on the top 3/4 floors. The peasants had a cafe in the basement! I know my place. |

we will not see williams or rose in a town shirt again it's obvious paul hurst rates neither , both been no where near 1st team squad even put kids on bench in front of both , not sure what kind of players we are looking for in national league but these two wont be involved , also think we've seen last of hewitt but menayese will sign because clough doesn't rate him at all played midfielder at centre half in front of him & i can't see anybody else in lge taking a punt , coke will perhaps sign think hendrie will move on all guesswork on my behalf after all it is now pre season bullcrap talk

My take on how I think things will work out...
GK - James McKeown - Stay
MID - Danny Rose - Stay
DEF - Luke Waterfall - Go
WING - George Williams - Go
WING - Sean Scannell - Go
FWD - Montel Gibson - Go
FWD - Ira Jackson Jr - Go
WING - Filipe Morais - Go
WING - Max Wright - Stay
FWD - Lenell John-Lewis - Stay
MID - Joe Starbuck - Stay
DEF - Duncan Idehen - Stay
DEF - Luke Hendrie - Go
DEF - Elliott Hewitt - Stay
MID - Giles Coke - Stay
GK - Ollie Battersby - Stay
DEF - Mattie Pollock - Stay
MID - Harry Clifton - Stay
MID - Luke Spokes - Stay
DEF - Jaz Goundry - Stay
Leaving us with:
GK - 2
DEF - 4
MID - 5
WING - 1
FWD - 1

The only player I'm really bothered about us retaining is Khouri. Not wanting to go overboard but in that run of games he showed enough to make me think he's going to be a bit of a find. I hope we haven't gone down the usual route of 1 year contract for a first year professional as I think we risk losing him. I'd go 3 years with an extra year option. Genuinely.

The lad obviously has earned his promotion to the 1st team squad and I hope he turns out to be a great player for us but the last few games he played I thought he looked a bit out of his depth. |

Blimey. Give the kid a chance. What do you expect. He has come out of the youths and playing at the bottom of league 2 so he’s not going to be Wayne Rooney |
