But they were still 5th when he left. They then won just one of their next 11 games, drawing three.

The rot had in though then the new manager struggled to turn it round. When he left in January they had won 13 in 16, 9 of those wins before the end of October. From the 28th Oct they played 14 games losing 9 and conceded 29 goals in the process.

Yeah they started the season great but plummeted massively. They'd lost 5 of Luke Williams' last 7 games in charge so the decline was happening before. The narrative that Luke Williams leaving Notts caused their defensive issues isn't true for me.

Some serious players released by Barnsley today. Probably a *bit* out of our reach but if anyone can, Cookie can!

Jordan Williams played a lot of games and Wiki says a right back. Don?t know a thing about him but you wouldn?t think would need to drop a division.

Like telling John Duncan you'll only sign if you get to play a free role

That'd be a strange one. Whilst he's out of contract, Shrewsbury want to retain him. Shrewsbury is an established L1 side. Also, he's a Wolverhampton lad, and Shrewsbury is a damn sight easier to commute to.

That'd be the Chey Dunkley that's played at Wigan, Sheffield Stupidname and Oxford. He'll play where he gets paid same as any other football professional.

Thats right! I live 15 mins from Shrewsbury and spoke to someone who knows him and they said hes still on holiday at the moment but due back in a few days. His desire is to stay local apparently so guess it will come down to how much Shrewsbury have offered him vs. us and any other interested parties, plus duration of contract (being 32 already my guess is a 3 year contract would be on his mind)

Got a few Salop mates and they are happy for Dunkley to leave. Apparently very good in the air but dead slow now on the ground and was given the run around by anyone with pace last season.

Quote from someone pretty prominent at the Club - 'new central defender next week as part of a totally overhauled back four next season'...

In fact I expect Grimes, still wearing the armband, to be the only survivor...
