Retained List (Confirmed)

No real surprises there. Moult scored some important goals and seems a genuinely good person, but offering him another deal with no idea when he’ll be fit and if he’ll be able to perform would make no sense

Still no sign of him on grass, wouldnt be shocked if he ended up retiring early
 
I once called bodin a 'fit Paul Raynor' on a MDT

Turns out Paul Raynor was fitter than billy bodin, class player imo billy, big shame he's a massive crock

Moult has been “on the grass“ in training, hence him making the bench a couple of times. But yeah he hasn‘t played a game yet and that will hamper him in terms of getting a move.

The article says it all sadly. 44 and 40 appearances for Bodin and Moult respectively. That‘s under a season‘s worth of games each, and they‘ve both been here for 3.5 years.

We just can‘t carry people like that unfortunately, however nice a person they are.
 
Must be in the minority here but I thought Bodin was very underwhelming save for a couple of good goals in meaningless pre-season friendlies. I doubt whether he’d have made a real impact at Championship level even if he had stayed fitter for longer. Couldn’t do anything about the injuries of course, very unfortunate.

Wish him and the rest of them all the best regardless.
 
Best wishes to Bodin and Moult, decent Players whose careers have been injury ravaged.
It will be interesting to see if anyone takes a punt on them and indeed if they are prepared to carry on, on what will presumably be much less contracts.
Anyway good luck to them, Nuge, Ginelly, Burke and the young lads released.
I hope particularly the younger ones can earn something from the Game even if its non League, which when combined with an outside job can bring in decent overall money.

Even when fit he wasn't fit enough, stamina, strength, pace, lacked all of em, but class player pumba, he'd be class in a 5-a-side team 😂 and the goal v West ham, definitely one of the best goals I've seen from a north ender ever for certain.
 
No surprises there.

I really like Louis Moult as a person. He represented the club brilliantly in the community with the sleep out.

Gutted it didn't work out for him but it's the right decision.

So who else do we need to get rid of?

Ripley, Raffety, being the first two that spring to mind.
 
Correct decisions made all round by the looks of it which is pleasing. Less carrying of injured players and hopefully we are able to utilise the money we were paying them on better players (or at least fit ones anyway).

For me we should be trying to move on Ripley, Rafferty, Hudson, Harrop, Stockley. I'd be open to offers elsewhere if it helps free up space and money for a rebuild.

Assuming Frankie wants to stick with the 3-5-2, I'd be open to offers for Sinclair and Maguire and trying to get Walker out on loan again.

Harrop is a difficult one because for some unfathomable idea we gave him a new long term contract.

Sinclair still has a part to play for me. He has the quality and is still the best finisher at the club.

Agree totally, even when fit he was pretty ineffective whenever I saw him play. Absolute zero pace and physicality.
