Good f**king riddance, he was as fast as a coal barge and had the turning circle of the Ark Royal. No loss whatsoever. Funny how we see things differently. I thought he was one of our best players in the last few months of the season. He was a defender who couldn't defend. I got a good view of him from behind the goal,well for 45 minutes,and he as always slower than the attackers and about an hour late with some of his attempted tackles. He was at fault for many goals that both Henry and Lewington got the blame for. He didn't look to bad when attacking but that wasn't the job we were paying him for. His job was to stop players scoring ,we finished bottom by a country mile hence FAILURE is my conclusion and will no sad loss.

I can see our young forwards running rings around him next season when we face Welling.

He played ok at the end of the season but we were letting so many goals in that went over him and WDHs heads. Not sure if the goalies were slow to sweep or what but I don’t think he is mobile enough for the NL. I suspect he will do well at this lower level though.

We are very short on Jack's and joshs, always thought we had to run with at least ten of them a season

So if Coker and Wishart are under contract they could just stay! They would be silly to leave until they had an equal offer or better. Suppose some players with realistic ambition would drop a level to get game time. Maidstone U23 is a come down from Palace U23, But I’m sure Coker can perform as many step overs as he likes each game! Wishart looked good going forward, I know we have a left back now, but we could do with him at left midfield, unless we have a left midfielder lined up.

Wishart and Coker are 'dead men walking' so far as Stones are concerned. The news of the club releasing them came as no surprise. We can do better. They will move on soon enough, no problem. Personally really pleased that we have moved on from last season's flops. Which begs the question. The 10 players signed up to date, are any of them recruited from the era pre JS2/HH ?

In a word “No” Embury and Amaluzor came in under HH and JS2 with this coming season in mind. Over any position I believe we need to sign two strong Central midfielders. We have suffered from week midfields for too long.

There does seem to be a gaping great hole where our creative midfield should be. As far as I can count we have recruited zero (apart from Clovis who is really a holding player) Seems like a couple or more wanted players in this position escaped John's net. Given our failings in the middle of the park last season it is so important we get some quality central midfield recruits into the team.

As for Wishart and Coker I hoped they’d stay just to make up squad numbers as we really do seem to struggling now to make new signings. And I still think we need an experienced front man alongside the three hungry kids we now have. Definitely getting tight now in terms of getting up to a quality squad, but there again I have been saying this all summer. In JS2 we still trust, but it’s getting tested!

We aren’t struggling to make 2 signings. We have signed 2 players in the last week. Keep up.

I actually think Muldoon could have been good but who knows that wages he was on / wanted and what it has Freed. I’d assume we will be replacing him with one or 2 suitable attacking midfielders

I think every side needs a few players who look the part. It makes the team look nicer. Never quite sure who Wishart was.
