Hopefully Zak will add a bit of pace to the heart of out defence assuming he's here to replace Ryan Edwards.

Again I wish Edwards a speedy recovery and these are unfortunate circumstances, however they are what the likes of Rose and Bentley need to live for. In no way do I mean that to sound cold or callus but it’s true. With Harry Downing, Elliot Crawford and Andrew Burn more than capable of covering in the SWPL no excuse, for not promoting in house, despite the concerning circumstances.

Yes, they were both let go at a very difficult time for the club and in the 50 years prior to that I don't recollect one player proving us wrong to release them as a youngster. It is rare clubs are proven wrong in these situations.Biggs":e9wvqs46 said:Jenko14":e9wvqs46 said:You can't honestly believe we get it wrong everytime we release individuals?

We already know that's not the case, because very few of the players released by Argyle HAVE proven the club wrong. I'd like to hear Mark's reasoning for that.
Isaac Vassell and Ryan Leonard are the only ones I can think of, but Leonard was released during administration and Vassell had three years as an Argyle pro before effectively transforming himself at Truro and Luton.
With today's news about Edwards it does look as if once again we are safest in trusting the management team to make well-informed decisions.The Doctor":38exbssv said:Hmm... not the most obvious place that the team needs strengthening unless someone is leaving or if there is a fear that someone might leave. (Someone here = Threlkeld or Miller mostly)
Harvey got plenty of opportunities here and I have to say I never saw anything in him. I think it was Sheridan who openly criticised his training work rate, although that could have been Adams.MarkMatthews":28xz45v0 said:I still think Tyler is in a strong position to come back, if he has another season like he he is having at that level, I see no reason other than Tyler not wanting it stopping him. River, I could be wrong but I think he is just enjoying a normal lifestyle of an early twenty-something lad, probably won’t come back into full time football, got a good job and a young family, nothing but respect for the bloke, I still think if things had gone the other way he had the skills, attitude and aptitude to have made it, just ran out of luck. Louis is only in his first season after release. Getting released is like falling down a mountain from near the peak and falling back to base camp the setback should not be underestimated, if they don’t come back it’s not to say they could never have made it. I don’t expect everyone to make it, I personally think the last couple of years, they’ve all deserved a chance, but one regularly starting in the first team would be a start!
Don’t really ever remember bigging up Jamie Richards to the extent of those two however?

He probably meant Josh Richards who you mentioned earlier in this thread.MarkMatthews":qgrlu0cm said:I still think Tyler is in a strong position to come back, if he has another season like he he is having at that level, I see no reason other than Tyler not wanting it stopping him.
