Jones has gone, he was the 5th ostracized member of the squad. Is Clarke an improvement? Open to debate but moot now as it's happened.
The rest are still here although Cow's Arse rumour mill suggests that Patrick is considering a mutual termination. If he's not terminated it before the end of the window does that mean he can't sign for anyone else and play this season?
All that said we have 4 players on the books that we're paying for. Should we bury the hatchet and get them involved? Wright and Riley were poor earlier this season but let's not forget that the whole squad was ropey. We didn't look fit until well into November. Personally not convinced Wright can do a job but Riley has some pedigree and came with a big expectation. Both contracted into next season so they may as well get back into training with the group at least because they're going nowhere for a while.
Reeves and his year long injury. No idea with this one if there's more that we're not hearing about perhaps not a strictly physical injury. Is he now available for selection? I've no idea. He was a decent holding mid in his day but never an attacking mid as we tried to play him. Could he be competition or backup for Akpan and Butterfield?
Patrick was out on loan and it seems they weren't keen to keep him at a lower level so to expect him to do a job here is optimistic.

Riley shit himself when thrown into the man’s game. There’s an outside chance a bit of experience might make a player of him but he looked lost. He wasn’t helped by being shifted to wing back and even right wing but even a run as an out and out right back probably won’t be enough to save him. We’ve got Caddis who’s miles better too so we can’t really use him.
Reeves I think we could use. We had this ridiculous, Abbott-sponsored idea that we could use him as our attacking midfielder despite it never having been his game. Reeves is a head up player who likes to get it and give it quickly. Stuck in our flat, lifeless midfield and given a lack of options and his game shrivelled and died. He needs to sit in the middle and pull strings. Used correctly and he’s useful. Play him like we did and we stymie him.
Wright is a fucking ornament. We should crowd fund his contract termination. An absolutely disgrace of a player.

I wouldn't believe the Patrick thing now, the info has been wrong almost every time lately

Patrick is dire. He plays like he’s wearing somebody else’s arms and legs.

We're paying them, we might as well see if they improve the squad. Except for Wright, I'd consider an insurance job for him.

Also, they’re on heavily incentivised contracts and the cheapest way to pay them is to not play them. By freezing them out we save on appearnce monies and any other bonuses written into their contracts.

Reeves would be a decent addition if we can get him fit. Not sure we need the rest though. Patrick is Patrick and we're well stocked in midfield and at RB, which makes Wright and Riley pretty much redundant. Hopkin knows this and that's probably the reason he feels so comfortable shunning them out in the way he has. Riley is 3rd, possibly 4th choice RB if you include Woods and Wright is 6th choice CM and that's when you exclude Reeves nd Devine from the equation. Even if Hopkin wanted the pair of them back, I dont see a use for either.

Probably worth trying with Reeves. Maybe Rileys worth a punt as an outside bet.
Jones has probably torn his acl opening his hotel door down in Cambridge, so fuck him off.
Patricks apparently shite, not seen any of him tbf.
Wright is a disgraceful human being and needs hounding out of the country. Signing him was like a voluntary 10 point deduction.

We should crowd fund his contract termination. An absolutely disgrace of a player. We should crowdfund a career-ending injury and get an insurance job.

Assuming Reeves is ever fit for football again I’d have him back. I thought he started last season strongly and in hindsight was clearly struggling with injury when his form went tits up.
But as others have said he needs to play deeper, he’s like a Sunday League Pirlo, the deep lying quarterback we never knew we needed.

And that there is the most damning verdict Can't remember which game it was but he followed them the length of the pitch and didn't bother tackling, instead turning away for them to score

These cunts are why I hate football. You get those gompers who say it's not their fault they get paid so much. You get the others that say how fortubate they are to have a career in football and it's wrong they take money for doing nothing.
I just think they're cunts. It makes my piss boil to see shit third division players flaunting their hairstyles, snapbacks and Dubai trips and doing fuck all to earn it.

I don't care about the morals, I just hate any cunt who has so little professional pride that he'd rather train with the kids for cash than get off his arse and find a new club. How much of a shameless fucknozzle do you have to be to do that?
