Retained list (Confirmed)

[Balham Green]

I have to agree about Garita....he's a nuisance player because he brings something different but League 1 standard? Not in my opinion. Kennedy? Doesn't do enough in games for me, drifts in and out but I'm sure there's a very good player in there and if we were sign him permanently instead of on loan we may see more off the ability he has..I also think Miller will stay as DA is clearly a big fan...we shall see very soon..

Keep Kennedy from cutting in field from the left wing and bending the ball around the keeper and you have nullified his usefulness and that will happen more in Div1 than it has in Div2.....he's got to have more than just one trick to get playing time at Cardiff.

If you stop any striker bending their curled finishes around the keeper then you will stop them from scoring, easier said than done mind.

Just keep him off his right foot......keep him on the wide left into the corner.

Yes its not that difficult. Some wingers can actually beat a man and get a cross in too. Didn't see him do that too often - watching mainly away games. We do need a winger but not him.

If that's what Adams wanted from him, could we not just play him on the right?

 

[Balham Green]

Adams has a long established reputation for large pre season squad changes.I suspect this year will be no different.I am sure he will be keen to retain Cary,Luke,Threlkeld,Taylor,Blisset,Jervis,Bradley and Songoo,beyond that anything could happen.It would not shock me to see 10 -12 new players,it is the way he works.Those suggesting that this is a settled and decent side,Adams had several of those at Ross County but still made wholesale changes every year.

Indeed, and DA is quoted as saying that regular change (every six months) is the recipe for being successful.

There is a very good team spirit which is worth a 10 point start. I would be surprised if he broke that up and started all over again. Main reason he did so last Summer was he inherited a lot of players he didn't like.

 

[Cobi Budge]

I've been to every home game since Kennedy signed and almost every away game, I haven't seen enough from from him to warrant some of the rave reviews he gets on here. He can be a good player on his day, but he's quite easy to nullify, show him onto his left foot and he's out of the game, needs to add more strings to his bow. I wouldn't be disappointed if he returned, but at the same time, I think we can do better.

Blimey I agree with Cobi. Need to lie down.

Tend to agree with you a little on this Cobi. Saying that, I do thing there is a player in there. Just needs to be more consistent.

Few surprises there

 

[Richard Allan]

This was leaked on line this morning, not sure if a fan should let this news out, when livelihoods are at stake.

Must agree with that list. A little surprised at Smith not being offered a deal though

 

[Nobby]

Gutted about Brunt not being given a chance to prove his fitness. Otherwise, it's as expected. I too am a little surprised that Smith was not offered a deal and Miller was...

 

[Tugboat]

Wow.

Absolutely no sentiment there.

Cleared out a lot of dead wood.

 

[Jimmyd]

No huge surprises for me. Thought Conor Smith would have been a more influential signing but had little impact really. Brunt had a good run just before his injury but very much doubt he'd be much of a force in League 1. Sensible decisions all round I think.sounds like Sawyer has already decided to stay. Let's hope Carey signs but let's not break the bank for him.

 

[Tugboat]

Miller? Really?

 

[RichieB]

Bit a surprise with Smith and Brunt being released ,shame about Rooney who I feel will a success like Vassell has been with Luton.
In Adams I trust and wish all the players leaking Home Park all the best and thanks for the part they have played in getting Argyle out of this league. COYG

 

[Army green]

Would have been good to see brunt given the chance of proving his fitness then maybe offering him a contract, suprised to see smith being released. good to see Jake Jervis is staying, I thought his contract was up. Let's see what Carey decides to do now, although I think deep down we all know he's going. Looking forward to seeing who Derek brings in. 28/1 for the league one title as it stands. Let's have it.
