...at seeing our promotion team being whittled away? Oh sure, it was always going to happen, it needed to happen and I'm excited for the future, but that team was arguably one of the greatest in our history, and I felt a real connection to them which I've struggled to get with our new PL players. In the last few weeks we've lost Kayal, Murray and Duffy, who were all so integral to that side.

Anyone else feeling a bit sad at seeing these players (who have etched their names into our folklore) gradually drifting away, or is it just me?

Agreed. Was thinking this the other day. Rosenior, Hemed, Kayal, Knocky , Duffy - shame but like you say, it has to happen now. Players get older and aren’t as up to it as they were etc etc.

Who’s left? Dunk, March and Stephens, is that it?

Think so, and Dale isn't likely to be anywhere near first choice going forward (or sideways, or backward...)

I saw Liam’s Mrs today dropping some laundry off at the laundrette, bottom of Station Road Portslade this morning, guess he still lives down here.

To be honest I'd be worried if we were holding onto players like Glenn when they're clearly past their best. They use up wages and squad positions that would be far better placed elsewhere if we want to progress. That squad will always be legendary but it certainly doesn't upset me to see them move on at this stage.

It is natural and needs to happen but it does feel a bit sad seeing the players we were 'together' with start to depart. I remember feeling the same way the first time around too TBH...losing Brian Horton, Paul Clarke and the gang.

In Muzza's case, I'm glad he'll be playing regularly at I club I don't dislike. But that drive round the M25 to their training ground at London Colney is a *******.

I've not got over the break up of the 1988 promotion winning side, to be honest.

I like the girlfriend analogy because of the way we're heading.
You have a long term relationship, then she gets a boob job!
