I rate Ben and would have liked to have kept him.

Shame he's gone, defo a fans favourite, although he's hardly "Going Home" as he a Normy lad and has been "Home" for the last 2 years

His defense won't be missed that's for sure

Ben/mellors/kay gone no news of any new signings looks like we gunna be a club that borrow players from others for financial reasons maybe a good idea at this moment till we try and get on a better financial footing

Or maybe we'll buy some between now and February. Plenty of time yet.

Good luck Charlie. I wasn't keen when I heard you were coming but you completely turned me around.

I don't think they'll appreciate you like we do but best wishes all the same.

Ben has the ability to get a team out of trouble and never gives anything less than 100% In my opinion he will be missed but we will have to hope he will be replaced the squad is looking very threadbare and we could do with an announcement from the club re new signings or loan signings whichever it may be

no big loss for me, apart from the squad gets smaller and smaller,

if mc would start announcing some signings maybe we could sell a few more st.

before long fans are just gonna give up on the club.

Of the players Trinity have lost he is the least integral. His effort and enthusiasm will be missed and so will his kick returns and carrys when the forwards are having a breather. His brain farts not so much, and if Trinity have got a decent fee for him then its good business.

At least Mellars has gone, another chunk of our outgoings gone, quite sad to see Ben going, his kick returns must have been hard work for opposition wingers/centres.

We must now be getting to the cut off point regarding player sales, I'd assume that getting rid of Poore, Mellars and Ben Cockayne's contracts we must have shed £250,000 from our wage bill.

Its hard to knock his commitment. He made the best of his ability and took some pressure off the big guys running from half back. Found out too many times in defense, it hardly comes as a suprise though, hopefully an anouncement of 'that the last one and its time to start building' to follow. Shame to see him go but chance for someone else, possibly Reece Lyne on the wing?

Can live with this one. Couldn't fault his effort or finishing but can be costly in defence.

While I agree Ben is probably the least important loss in terms of actual ability lets not forget his spirit and fight which I think would have been important in arguably our hardest SL season.

He would have definitely been up for it next season and I was hoping he might stay.



Oh well, lets hope we don't have to sell anyone else and we get a few players coming our way soon
