Another one shipped out to make space for incoming signings??!!

JL gave everyone the opportunity to prove themselves to the standard he demanded....it has been clear who the ones were that failed to live up to expectations? how many times did JL offer the olive branch to Mitchell, Briggs etc!! If they don't give a crap, then ply your trade elsewhere....love the tough line JL is embedding into his squad.

It just goes to show how some youngsters think they have a god's given right for success....Hird, Evatt & Talbot are shining examples of how a footballer should conduct themselves

You mean always being injured

Totally agree with you!

As far as Mitchell is concerned, it's fair to say he failed to live up to expectations, but not to say he didn't give a crap.

Diego back to Bristol and it might start to look like we are getting somewhere.

Good luck to him. He seemed like a nice boy early doors after he joined us. Can't say he looked lazy when I saw him. He kind of learned to track back a bit under Danny. But I didn't see his efforts in training. Spose he wished he had taken the contract offer at Chelsea. It would only have delayed the inevitable though.

He was a lightweight playing in a lightweight team. He might have done better if we had more physicality elsewhere.

Conference South then next season which in fairness to the lad is a level he should excel at.

There was a short period last season when he was at wingback he showed bit of aggression and I remember a few full blooded tackles.

It soon evapourated though, too lightweight and just seemed to be the archetype academy product most of the time

Won us a penalty in the win at MK Dons and scored the last minute winner vs Swindon.

Proportionally he's probably contributed to as many points as anyone else in the squad during the past year!

I bet there'll be some anxious eyes on the teamsheet for the Handsworth game. A pattern is emerging.

Paul McGinn marshalled a young defence in a friendly this summer, a couple of days later he was gone with his transfer still roaming the ether somewhere between here and Partick.

Jay Smith played a decent game against Heanor, was it next day that his career ended?

Reece Mitchell played against Belper, agreed to be mutually cancelled within 24 hours.

Add to that Brewster, who scored four in one half against Clay Cross and has been wearing Gollum's ring until he miraculously reappeared confused this week in Chorley.

Have a stinker against Luton and the curse of Handsworth Parramore could be your reward.

I'm struggling to get your drift here. Smith's and Mitchell's final games for CFC were, at best, mediocre. Are you suggesting that Jack's strategy is all to cock; that he's barking up the wrong tree?
