Rod has gone where?

[Jenga]

South by the looks of it.

Seriously has he genuinely left?

[Ashley Alty]

Only a little south, just about 10 miles?

[markecky]

You mean his link up with Witton?  Don't think thats permanent unless you know more?

[Ballers]

Possibly more chance of Flynny leaving Alty to be honest 

[Ghost Of Red Pump St]

Apparently the talk is that Peter Band will be re signing for us at Hyde this summer. A good addition to the squad if he comes.

[teasybeaver]

Be a good signing for us as well if you ask me.

Thats the cue for me to receive plenty of abuse for slating Band again.

[markecky]

Surely Bandy has learnt his "grass is greener" lesson by now?

What are the comebacks at Hyde for winning nothing despite the massive investment last year?

[lukealty12]

rods going nowhere i spoke to him the other day and he was talking to me about next season.

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

At the risk of upsetting the Rod Thornley Fan Club on this Forum, may I ask why we are so keen to retain him?

He never appears to be fully fit; rarely lasts for 90 minutes; is unavailable for several games and (as demonstrated at Tamworth and at home to Aldershot) his goalscoring touch is on the wane.

Serious thoughts, anyone?

(Stands well back in anticipation of a backlash...)

Not the player he was, but still has the quality to change a game, probably costs us sweet FA, does loads for the club off the pitch, and will no doubt be more thank ok in BS North and a very useful backup to Joe and Colin.

I have reservations about Thornley but I think the words "Nail' "Head" and "Hit" spring to mind here. I foresee him becoming some kind of super sub coming on for 30 minutes and running rings round tired BSN defences! Things looking good in the goals department for next season, midfield ok for now, just the defence that shows any real concerns for me!

[Jezza]

Rod scored 4 goals last season, last one away at St Albans, started us off against norhwich and tamworth  at home and got one of the two against FGR away.

Not a massive return but then he is never 100% fit and is in and out....why not compare that with Joe's 7 goals, again not a great return but people appreciate the other things Joe brings to the team as recognised by his POY awards.

But I put it to the cult Rod is now viewed as back up....and what value for money quality back up and how much extra he brings to the club. If Colin gets injured after 20 minutes, can the cult suggest a signing we can afford to come off the bench who would be better?

And as one player of a squad of 16 he makes up 6% of the squad  and scored 7% of our goals....(!)

[Red N White Dynamite]

In terms of our midfield I think we are mostly ok. However, I think we could really do with a proper out and out winger as we lacked width a lot of the time last season.

[oneedham]

 Current players, could do with two wingers but

1) Coburn

2) scotty
3) Peyton
4) Munroe
5) Band
