I always liked the look of Honley from the train and that's where he came from innit Snoots? He's a good player but has he ever played for anybody when they won something? I know he's had an after-he-left play-off medal, but is he maybe a bit of a loser? He made England under-21 but never quite stepped up ....... I'd like him but I've got this feeling he always promises only to disappoint.

The retained list has been issued.

Charlie Dawes and Jack Broadhead have been released which we already knew a few months ago.

Dean Saunders said he wants to retain Jimmy Ryan, Drew Talbot and Armand Gnanduillet and will speak to them as soon as possible.

I don't think Ryan will stay at any price, but I like the idea that Saunders has his own opinions on the squad. I'd keep Drew Talbot for his heart alone ....... and Gnanduillet was the player Saunders singled out for praise when we beat Crawley. Gnanduillet and Doyle seemed to work; would Clucas playing in behind him score a hatful?

But we are going to lose players. Morsy is almost bound to leave and though I praise Darikwa (to Dancing's amazement) if I were him I'd want to move up. If he doesn't do it now, it may never happen for him (and if he did move, keeping Talbot would be sweet).
