Being reported that he's been released, by mutual consent.
Think it's fair to say that he hasn't been overly impressive, and am pretty sure he was one of those who were moaning about Gy and Cleethorpes,
No loss imho, there's far better out there, and no point in him being here if he isn't happy

I don't think it's fair to say that at all. He's looked solid in patches. Was unlucky really with the form of Towler meaning he didn't really get a look in at the start of the season.

Would disagree completely, the first few opening games before he was suspended or was it injured I can't remember him and Waterfall as a pairing looked unbeatable


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Makes sense to let him leave if he's not happy. Be lovely to get Towler back if there's any chance. Hasn't got on the bench for them since his harrowing 45 minutes against Millwall and can't play for anyone else now.

Was still around on Monday - saw him and his Mrs on the pier in clee. Both looked quite happy. Not to say he's not on his way if he is tho...

Shame, as he seems a good pro, and was actually a good player.
Hurst is doing the right thing by letting him leave, and hopefully has a replacement lined up.
Pearson is looking back to his solid best, and Waterfall is a good non-league defender, without setting the league on fire...

Agree with Rodley, and makes sense for all parties for Towler to come back if possible!

Worries me that we are threadbare at the back if he’s gone. Hopefully a replacement in swiftly. I thought he looked a competent player.

I would certainly like to see Towler return.... and never play left back again !!

He really would enhance those already here with his extra pace and playing out rather than just hoofing the ball.

4 centre backs are needed to cover injuries, suspensions etc.

Pearson, Smith, Waterfall and Towler would be a good solid 4some !

i saw him at Bromsgrove, Kiddy and Dagenham, so about twice as much as you  
distribution didn't look great and imho always looked a bit shaky. Would've been worried if he was ever first choice.
v. v. . poor imitation of Towler

Thinks Crookes can play centre back if needed and I'm sure PH said Amos can too, so we've got cover if needed.

Would like to see Towler back mind.

I think Crookes is big enough and decent in the air so could probably do a job there. Agree it would be nice to see Towler back, of course!

3-5-2 now an option if Amos beds in well, perhaps? Not sure that Efete and Amos are attacking enough to be wing-backs, however.

Don't forget Goundry has been recalled last week..and Smith is a central defender..think we may sign a right back.

Nothing announced, I know Matf asked him in the prematch presser if DLK was one to go out on loan but that's about the only connection I can make to the rumour tbh.

Methinks this is much ado about nothing - nothing from the club.
He is on a 2 year deal so unless he tore up his contract he's still here surely?

Matt Dean asked Hurst about him this week, so get the sense Matt has heard something. Hurst didn't confirm but, probably more telling,  he also didn't deny that someones on their way out on loan possibly.

Looked a little clumsy on the couple of occasions I saw him play, but then he never really got a run in the team. Perhaps this might mean that Towler will return? Either that, or a new right-back coming in might see Smith given a chance?

Suits Woking being a tall player. Seems a nice bloke just hasn't settled here very well, a move back down near London will probably be more to his liking. Can't really fault him if he was honest about being unhappy here after giving it a go, the area isn't for everyone and I imagine people who come from London would find it a bit dull and quiet at that age.

Maybe he didn't visit Browns cafe and the Tivoli Tavern!?

Good squad player but not as comfortable on the ball as Smith or Towler. Just hope that Michee Efete doesn't miss his pal too much.

Must be over 30 years since I have been in after moving away. I didn't know it was still open, very rarely do I get down that part of Town.

This exactly. Sometimes people forget footballers are human. It isnt easy moving away from home. I've somehow survived and I've only just recently started too feel settled and it's been 9 years!
