No suprises. Good luck to all of them, especially Wayne Curtis who I'm sure will be snapped up if he (however unlikely) doesn't go to Barrow.

and i think SM will only be looking to bring in 4/5 players in the summer after sorting out contracts with players who's deals are running out

I don't think it means we're keeping those who've not yet got contracts namely Henry and Arts. I presume negotiations are on going but if nothing is resolved then they may be off.

Once more we release young players who have had the temptation of a professional contract wafted in their faces and shown the door at the end of it because they are not good enough. Why do we bother. If there is nobody good enough at the development centre (because it is not or ever will be an academy) or in the 18`s then don`t give out a contract it is that simple. Our youth policy stinks, what incentive is there for young players in this area when they see lads released every season. Hold on, I know we must be training up Community Coaches rather than future stars and at this rate each school in the district will have at least 2 coaches that they could call their own.
If the club do not not get a grip on the youth aspect we will be a club of one team and that won`t keep us where we are or get us to where want to be. As someone who gives up a very large slice of his own time to coache kids it sickens me to see lads been shown the door after never even getting a fair chance. No wonder so many go to clubs out of this area and that is something else that I hate.
I cannot believe Taylor is on his way, it was bad enough when Bell was shown the door and then we give 2 contracts to players who were not anyway near as good as him. Aaron is and always will be a goal scorer and I am sure that is a quality that managers seem to want in strikers.
Dickie Danson and the rest must be churning inside, after all the time they put in with these lads and knowing that at the end of their time,all they will become is part of the community team if they hang around because lets face it Sammy will go out and buy or get on a loan someone in their late 20`s or early 30`s who will come in on a big wage, and will not be able to discover the touch they were supposed to have. I have felt like this since Sammy took on the job, he is only bothered about the 1st team and nothing else His recent interviews have been about him and how he has changed the club, for me he has and its not for the good. I know we have finished in our highest ever position, does not mean I have to like it though does it. New ground next season, but I will not be surprised if the new blood starts to drift away and go to Mysercough where they get a far better chance of making the grade, maybe Connerton was right to chose there, because he knew he would not get a sniff at Christie.

Can't think of any? Ok, how about naming me one of them that has gone on to sign for a Conference team? Strill struggling?
The answer is none, not only are these youngsters not good enough for our level they aren't even good enough for the level below! If they were you would have thought that someone would have signed them up but no one ever does.
I'm also not buying the argument that if they were given time in the first team they would end up being the required standard for League Two football. If this was the case then some of the other players would have improved their game after signing for their Conference North / Unibond clubs and made their way back up the pyramid with other clubs but they haven't.
Until I see evidence of us releasing players that go onto prove themselves at other League Two clubs then I think I'll keep faith with Sammy's judgement rather than bleating about not giving a load of sub standard players games in the first team at the expense of better ones.
