As we all are gutted he has left. Just checked his final stats.

He made 111 appearances for us in 6 years.

Another of the 'not a DC signing' to leave. 

Final shout out to Nathsn Smith..304 appearances and still going...Top lad.

Got me thinking that did as I didn’t think he played for us until Brown was in charge after we got relegated. So I had a look on wiki.  He did play once under Bruno in the FA cup in 2016 for a few mins. Forgot about that. Then his breakthrough season was the season after that under Brown (I think he was still here then) when he got sent off on his league debut in 2017. Wiki says 138 games in all competitions for us.

I suppose the question that club have asked themselves is do we look to the past with the bad injuries that wiped out the covid season or look at this season with 30 odd games and a couple of niggly ones? I guess they went with both.  For me we should be looking at our main wingbacks playing 35-40 games a season given the rigours of that position and then suitable cover to rotate as necessary. 
 

Still no news on Benning. But I think we should still be in the market for a new right sided wing back. I don’t fancy Cass there, for me he should be first choice RCB. If Benning does go then we definitely need a left sided wing back too.

Get lost Birchall...got nothing to do with you. He should have ended his post at "That's their decision."

What’s the problem?  It’s his opinion, he’s as entitled to it as you or I, and the final sentence is true, the staff have to make a decision on every player.  It’s their call how the budget is spent.

Birchall on Gibbo leaving

Disappointed Birchy feels the need to air this in public, since sexman left the Burslem circus has quietened down and things that need to be said are done behind closed doors. 

Although he’s not part of the actual payroll staff etc, he does/did games commentary for Radio Stoke so it’s disappointing for him to come out talk about the club in such a tone that lays fault at their door.

What we can take from this, apart from the fact he’s upset about his mate - that Cass has come in on a wedge compared to what we offered Gibbo?

Exactly my point. It's the clubs call on how the budget is spent.
