Sidelines, you seem a pretty reliable source of information! Any guide on times tomorrow? As to Brian's point, agree and I would add any of them *Could* come back and bite us! All oozing with class and quality!

Your continued digs at the management just come across as bitterness .

From as yet unconfirmed reports, I support, back and respect most of the decisions management have made this year, which looks to be the best the academy have contributed to first team squad since 2014. I'm of course disappointed and saddened on an individual level for some but on the whole pretty pleased. I feared it could have been a lot worse.
Just waiting for official confirmation now but as I pointed out reserving judgement was in no way intended as a dig at management.

Not that he "really" made it at an higher level but after being released when we were Championship level, Ben Tozer did impress enough at Swindon, for Kevin Keegan to sign him to Newcastle in the prem.
