Lew-T Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Will all be having a rise smile on their faces. Fleetwood amazingly are in second place and have a great chance of leap frogging us, with Wes Burns at their disposal. Derrick Williams potentially sending us down at Blackburn and Luke Ayling pushing for the premier league. It's as if the whole league is laughing at us Well done Lee and co, bravo.

Bar BS3 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I wouldn't have wished we'd kept any of those players on (other than maybe Ayling, but only with hindsight with how Matthews has turned out this season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanburyRed Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 sounded like it was going to be an opening line to a joke! Wes Burns, Derrick Williams and Ayling...........all walk into a pub..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Would they have a 'wry smile'? Aside from Ayling, I don't think there's any bad blood necessarily. Ok, Burns didn't get much of a chance under LJ and perhaps didn't really like him but was happy to move I think. Williams too. Players move all the time, not every single player who leaves here will be determined to get one over on us forever more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_b Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Whilst you also have the likes of Scott Wagstaff, Kieran Agard, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas... there are players we laud whilst here that move on and do nothing as well. SC kept his League One squad together after promotion. Gary Johnson didn't. The list of players who get promoted and then don't get a look in the for the first-team afterwards is long. Wes Burns & Luke Ayling could just as easily be jettisoned by their respective clubs if they do get promoted and end up back lower than they are now.

The frustrating thing about JET is that he could be very good in this league I think. In terms of natural ability he can be excellent but just doesn't have perhaps the right mentality or professionalism. Wagstaff and Agard are probably at a more comfortable level.

JHAGa Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Couldn't care less. Wouldn't have let Del or Ayling go and would only have loaned Wes (although it was seemingly a decent fee) but I'm not really bothered by what they think. All I care about is staying up.

megansdad Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Baldock and Freeman both wanted to leave as did Kodjia. Only Ayling is really one who was eased out who is currently doing substantially better. Plenty that left are plying their trade at lower level.

BCFC Grim Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ayling is the one that still annoys me. People like to pick faults with him but he's a good player at this level and easily better than anything we have in that position. Another masterstroke from the club.

Baldock is scoring more goals in a much better team which is no surprise. Fredericks was here 2 minutes so how you can tell he improved is lost on me.

KingLear Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ah hindsight.....you wonderful thing. Come on there's a whole plethora of reasons that a player leaves a club. Why is it always 'well done City you ****** up again'? In the case of Freeman for example, he was offered a new contract and turned it down, at that point you sell or let him go for free in the summer. I can imagine the uproar if we had let him leave for free after turning down money for him a few months earlier. Many of the players mentioned on this thread (if not all) weren't guaranteed first team football at the club so went somewhere where they'd be playing regularly. It's surely not a surprise then that someone playing week in week out will get themselves goals/assists etc. As much as people don't want to hear it, we simply aren't a big enough club in this league to stop a player's head being turned by an offer from elsewhere. Not all of them can be 'one of our own' and for the more talented ones (read Kodjia, Heaton etc) no one can blame someone for wanting to advance their career and earn more money.

Baldock has barely scored 1 goal per 5 apps. at Brighton and has scored only 11 goals this season despite Brighton being so successful. He's 4th in their list of scorers this season. No big loss to City with only 18 goals in 86 appearances since he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the goal we conceded vs Brighton where all the plaudits (understandably) go to Sidwell. Analyse that goal then ask yourself why Baldock is so important to Brighton. Fantastic player who brings so much more than goals to the table. No big loss?! I'd love to see he and Tammy playing together, they'd be an absolute menace. Baldock doesn't give defenders a seconds peace or time on the ball for 90 minutes and Tammy would be there time and time again to punish the mistakes.
