Right decision.
Unfortunately he reminded me very much of his Dad who also always seemed to have a mistake in his locker most games.
For those of a certain age he always reminded me of a lower league Gary Sprake.

I always thought it a strange signing, given the uncertainty of Coddingtons return, that we didn't sign somebody with much more experience.

As much as we’ve seen a lot of incomings, now we’ll see a mass exodus

Balance will be restored in budget & the squad

Today’s squad is just unrecognisable from 6 weeks ago...incredible turnaround really, & you can’t question JRs decision as the results speak for themselves

Exciting times ahead...just reminds me of when cook started shaping his squad

He was more than capable of the sensational save and was excellent in some situations - 1 on 1s for starters. But he had virtually no command of his area from crosses and that ruled him out for me as being anything other than a stop-gap 'keeper.

Bit unlucky, thought he have been a good number two. I'd Ike to thank him for his part in the 5 clean sheets and all those wins

Good luck to kyle, classic football example of being one managers choice and not anothers.

Hope he finds a club soon

We were desperate at the time he joined, was always a temp fix, spot on with that assessment and don't forget no defence or midfield in front of him.
God I hate this league.

Correct decision. Not good enough. Terrible on crosses and already cost us a number of points this season.

Yep. The article says he left 'following' our signing of 2 goalies. Looks like it might be 2 for 1 pay packet good business.
Get it on, bang the gong , get it on

Agree with most of the comments above....no brainer if he’s been offered a deal elsewhere...it has to be a better deal financially for the club.

The Derbyshire Times article suggests it was Letheren who instigated the contract termination, quoting him as saying “an opportunity came about which I could not turn down”. With Rowe’s rather terse “no comment” reply when asked about it post match, I wonder if he is not wholly happy about it?

Doubt it. Rowe will have been windmilling around his kitchen at the news.
