Best Of

I was wondering if they could end on a signing tonight, after announcing these departures on the same day.

Or also if a management announcement could be imminent.

Good luck to them both - was really noticeable how much esteem Exeter fans hold in Hartridge, when he was a sub warming up down their end at Adam Park, so hope his return goes well.

Think Butcher is a good player at this level and needs to be playing first team football.

I am not thrilled about the destination for Butch, as Rovers are one of the clubs Shrewsbury have a theoretical chance of catching. But that can't be helped.

Yes and no. Butcher's bottom level was worse than both of the above when he came in for a few games earlier in the season, looked very rusty indeed.

Yes, partly down to not playing much, but when you had the Morley-Scowen-Humphreys triumvirate, it was always going to be battling for scraps.

I'm the same, I feel genuinely sorry for him

Any news on David Wheeler? All seems to have gone very quiet on him.

Most certainly so

I can't shake the feeling Butcher has been genuinely hard done by. He was a major cog at the end of last season (when we had top six form) and any bad displays this season were more likely rust than anything else. I still prefer him to both Tyreeq and Leahy in midfield.

Steven Schumacher confirmed as the new Bolton manager. Huge upgrade for them.
