Caerphilly Ram

All the best 'skip'. Difficult to top that season and will be a much revamped midfield next time out and no guarantee of game time. Sometimes it's just time to seek a fresh challenge and the timing feels right. All the very best in whatever you do next.

Completely deserved 2-0 lead for Oxford at half time. They have a game plan and look like they want it more.
Evatt needs to earn his corn to pull this around. 

Oh this is comedy gold! The self proclaimed best team in League One 2-0 down to little old Oxford - wanky wanky wanky Wanderers!! 😂😂

Think your Ogbeta shout is decent. As you mentioned he’s confirmed to be leaving the Swans, 23 years old on a free he’d be a good option alongside Elder down the left which potentially frees Sibley (if he re-signs) to play in midfield/further forward.

Nice little highlights package to say goodbye
 

As a Rams fan living in Oxford I’m loving this! Amazing really, I mean Bolton are the best team in League 1 aren’t they? 😂

If you did have a girlfriend, what position does she play, what’s her name, and do you pay a fee for her company or is she a free agent…. 😉 

We’ve got the retained list now, we need more stuff to be impatient about… 😁 

Swansea have confirmed Nathanael Ogbeta is leaving as a free agent. If Bolton don’t go up (hopefully they don’t) I could see us getting being in for him as I imagine he’ll want a championship move. In his last 2, 6 month loans to league one with Peterborough and Bolton, he’s played 36 games getting 3 goals and 7 assists from left back or left wing back. He’s comfortable in a back 4 or 5 so would suit us perfectly. 
 
He’d be a great option on a free with good potential. Should it work out we have a good attacking wing back with good sell on potential ina couple of years. 

I am going to sit and watch the playoff final, smugly contented in the knowledge that I don’t have to go through what the fans at Wembley will go through.🙂

Not Warne's biggest fan but I'm very encouraged by this released list. 
Will see who comes in now.
He clearly recognises we need an upgrade, hopefully he can deliver it.
 

Where is his hat?

Somewhere I clocked a picture of him sat taking it in, Bradley was the only player alongside him with an arm on his shoulder.
Expect being good pro’s they both knew at that point, Conor going out on a high as you say, but Bradley sort of saying you did it mate (well I looked at it and that’s how I read it).
He’s a top bloke, even getting the team celebration lined up, shows what he mean’t to the others. He kind of had a Trevor Christie end of career impact on us, for that I wish him nothing but the best in the future; he’s part of our history now, however brief his stay.

I think i'll be hearing over the next few days exactly who we're in for with a lot of details. Already know some.  As per, I won't put any particular details on here though unless it becomes more public and confusion needs clearing, as I can't be arsed with 24 hrs of people screaming that i'm talking out my rear and demanding sources.  I don't why people bother.  Take it or leave it without the grief handed out in spades.  No need really. 

This is the goalkeepers' union with our promotion trophy. Jack holding the trophy. 
How well do you think he'll stand up to being bullied by big forwards at corners? 
Needs to grow and put some bulk on before we throw him to the wolves in the Championship.
Fwiw, I've seen him play a fair bit. He's an excellent shot-stopper but has put the team in a mess with some rash passing out from the back.  
Evans, on the right, is much stronger physically. Also a good shot-stopper, but had a bit of a 'mare in the Central League Cup final recently. 
Neither of them are first-team ready.

He’s not the best on crosses…

Personally I think Smith’s a shame as he did a solid job and seemed a good experienced pro to have around, but no room for sentiment I suppose and if there are younger options we can sign with his wages OR provide pathways to the likes of Robinson/Allen etc then I guess there’s sense in it. 
He gets a lot of credit from me for being a sort of bargain basement “Carrick” the last two years, did the basics of the game consistently to allow others the opportunity to play. 

Hourihane, Waghorn, Gayle, Loach, Wildsmith, Smith leaving.
Barkhuizen, Forsyth, Thompson triggered 12 month extensions.
Collins and Sibley still discussing new deals.
Robinson signed a new 2 year deal.

slightly crossed wires, I wasn’t questioning you questioning me (or others), more supporting the reasoning  you gave for it not appearing as a standalone rumour.
Reading my post it does look like I’ve been a bit defensive 😄
