Surprised we’ve just let Seaden go.

Surprised we’ve just let Seaden go.

Think Colin Andeng-Ndi is a more promising prospect tbh from what I've seen. Might prove to be a bit of a gem backing up Super Steve Arnold.

Ndi has showed he has real class about him. That one cup game he showed he was head and shoulders above Seaden.

These decisions need to be made if we want to progress unfortunately.

Good luck to both of them

Seaden will get some inevitable stick, sadly. Not the best young keeper we’ve had come along the impressive conveyor belt but he also came into a side during its worst spell in its history that was shipping goals for fun regardless of who was in the sticks. It was hardly an ideal learning scenario for any young player, let alone a keeper.

This season, Colin probably has overtaken him and thankfully for Colin we’ve got our act together. I think it’s correct for all involved that Harry Seaden gets a fresh start.

 

[in the know]

Collins a really dedicated hard working lad in training. Not saying seadon wasnt, but Colin appears really driven. He's really hard on himself if he mishandles. Think will be a good keeper although not the tallest

 

[Chapperz]

Surprised Seadon has gone via mutual consent. Guess the Swansea trial didn't work out and he wanted first team football.

Also surprised Stewart has gone, he didn't get much game time at Welling while on loan in the division below, but I thought some said he was highly regarded.

Howard was meant to be pushing for first team football and a little surprised he has dropped a few divisions after being on loan at NL level last season. Expect he will go at the end of the season along with the majority of the loanees (Egbri, Kinali, Mitchell-Nelson).

Rush going on loan at Chelmsford is great news. He joins ANG and Tommy Davis in the NL South. Hopefully he gets lots of minutes and shows his talent.

Any news on Gard? Also wonder what is happening with Phillips and Walsh, two more who have contracts up at the end of the season.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

It's a shame, but it's best for them and certainly best for us. The quality of the squad is vital to getting promotion this(Long shot) or next season(Not a long shot). We've seen the massive difference the 7 new players have made. More room will be made for more coming in, in the summer. This is the way to go.

 

[sufc4life21]

If I'm honest not really seen anything in those players which made me think there got something about them and will go on and have decent careers in the game. Wouldn't surprise me if rush and Howard are let go in the summer. Can also see the likes of phillips and gard following those out the door to.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

All of our young players need games to show what they can do, it’s won’t be with us!!

 

[Evening Echo]

GOALKEEPER Harry Seaden and midfielder O'Shane Stewart have had their contracts terminated at Southend United.

I’m guessing Stewart wasn’t as highly rated as we’ve heard?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Good thing for all concerned IMO, in all four cases, although disappointing for those lads I’m sure that it has come to this. Unfortunately none of them really appeared to show what it takes to be a part of the first team picture at this point in time. Probably not in the longer term too, given our squad size and budget constraints. Regular U23 football for Swansea is probably a good opportunity for Seaden (if that’s what the plan is) as it will be a higher level than our stiffs.

The other lads haven’t really shown that they are ready to be part of the first team picture soon in a meaningful sense; certainly not better than what we could sign from the open market.

Good luck to them all.

If we were higher up the football pyramid then these sort of actions would be "par for the course" - that is, letting players go & getting players out on loan to prove their ability & keep their match fitness.

Some of the players let go might come back to bite our bum but that is the way for all clubs, yes?

Better to have a management team that makes decisions rather than one that ponders for too long. It's like having David Webb back .............

 

[rlb999]

Good to see them getting the squad size down. Has been 30+ for a couple of years. We still have 25 so can trim further.

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Any footballer wants to play, so in many ways the decisions will help. Any youngster needs to play to improve. First team opportunities were just not going to happen. I hope they do well wherever they end up with their careers.

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

Rush & Howard going out on loan can only be a good thing. They can now bust their balls to impress and show they’re hungry enough for next seasons title tilt. If not they’ll be let go. Either way, nothing gained from them warming our bench or playing for the U23s. We’re covered in both their positions.

Seaden.. a fresh start may be just what he needs. Good luck to the lad.

I would not be surprised if O'Shane Stewart ends up at Aldershot with MM.

Stewart from what I saw of him in U23s looked technically very good on the ball but didn't put himself about anywhere near as much as you might expect for a player of his build. He may well make a career of football but I think he needs to rethink his game a bit.

So a younger Ferguson?
