It's fair enough to provide that evidence. It's also true to say some players can come to life when they land at another club. We have released players who were not thought of highly here but who have gone on to do well. Blokey who went to Tranmere and then to Ipswich is one example. Bennet has held down a place at Newport IINM. Frear has done OK in Scotland.
To reiterate, I think Bowman is doing Ok, but would just like to see what Fisher can do in proper games.
Just as an aside, IIRC Scot Bennett wasn’t released . He was lured away by the prospect of a bigger contract and an apparently (at the time) bigger club at Notts County.

Let me check out what happened. I thought at the time he wasn't highly thought of by the fans in general. He was also switched around a lot : RB, CB, midfield and even CF.
I thought it was a Tilson-type situation where we were happy to let him go.
No disrespect to him and he seems to have done well.

Correct. He was offered a new contract but as he was 24 was able to sign for Notts for free.

Why do you think Collins is the most likely?
Because he wont drop Taylor and Collins has been playing in Atanganas position

Wonder when we’ll finally see him play , after all , it is October. Hope it’s not a damp squib like Ajose after all this.

I heard that he was unavailable for Grimsby becasue he was away at the 'Celebration of Nigelness' weekend at the
Fleece Inn at Bretforton, Worcestershire.

This might tip the scales towards going tomorrow.

Big Nige is really starting to show his class.

Big and strong, decent in the tackle, decent in the air and capable of a slide rule pass.

I like him.

Compare and contrast him to Bertie Cozic !
