Hewitt Not Staying

Quoted from Swansea_Mariner

Not sure people are being bitter about it, imho he was a dud for the majority of his contract.

Good luck to the lad he's got a job elsewhere in the league but frankly I think we need better than guy who played well in less than a quarter of his games for us.

understand what you are saying, but Hurst is going to uncover a couple of absolute belters to improve upon the Hewitt & Menayese pairing ( would've cruised the National League) ; can you imagine going back to Waterfall and Pollock?

Don’t mind about this to be honest. Looked ok at centre back but has been pretty shite apart from the last 4 or so months of the season. Not the end of the world.

As far as I’m concerned, Hendrie can leave. He’s been poor.

Quoted from Hagrid

foolish comment, he's got a football league club, we are non league, not a lot we can do


wish Elliot all the best, superb at CB

He did play well at centre-back but for much of his time he was a bit meh.

   This thread reminds me of how people rationalize getting dumped. "Oh well, it's her loss. She wasn't that much to look at anyway."  I am very sorry to see Hewitt go. He's a footballer and  looked a cut above most league two center backs, in my opinion, as well as being versatile enough to fill in when needed at full back or in midfield. I was really hoping Hurst might find a way to keep the defense of the last three months or so together. It's certainly not their fault we couldn't score the goals to win games and a solid back line will be essential if we are to have any hope of immediate promotion.

Quoted from GollyGTFC

He’s heading to Greater Manchester...

Crikey, have they moved Mansfield?

Do the people who live there know?

Was just about to say the same thing.

Oh she's a slag and he's a creep
She's a tart, he's very cheap
She is a slut, he thinks he's tough
She is a female dog, he is a puff
Yeah yeah, it's not fair
Yeah yeah, it's not fair

Bye Hewitts

Fair play to Hewitt. I know Mansfield pay above average money in L2, but turning down Salford (and the wages they pay) can’t be an easy thing to do for any lower league player.

Completely agree with you, but it makes all the complaining about Vernam leaving seem a bit contradictory. He was pretty naff for 2 years before a 5 game spell that everybody then decided he needed keeping at al costs.

Sorry but this is an absolutely mental, revisionist take which doesn’t seem to be grounded in any reality I’ve experienced. A cut above most L2 centre halves? I think we probably managed, at best, 3 clean sheets with him in the middle of the back 4 in nearly half a season.

As for versatility, the bloke lived off the back of 1 (one) half decent shift away at Scunthorpe in centre mid and he spent most of that game on his árse from what I can remember.

He was better than what came before him this season, but this sudden elevation of the bloke to the next Franco Baresi is unbelievable.
