I feel very sorry for Cole who played very well against Wrexham when we did not concede for only the second time this season.

Left back is a specialist position and Anderson is not a left back.

Gary Owers had to reduce the squad and I was surprised he dispensed with Cole when Liam Davis will not be fit for a few more games.

Well Anderson showed that he can't play left back so it does seem a shocking decision - why not wait at least until Liam Davis is fit?

No we clearly dont i am afraid.
He looked half decent and seemed composed if not fully match fit.

Also disappointed. He had a calm head, a good defender and got the ball moving forwards. A cool dude. But we must surely have something better at the club to let him go - don't we?

I'm a little surprised and disappointed to see Chinua go...has potential and I don't imagine he was costing the world at this point.

Best of luck to him

He was here on a non-contract basis, so always likely to be short-term. He either gets a longer deal or is released.

In terms of actual contracts, there was one trialist we offered a contract to in roughly the Leroy era on the basis of a hat-trick against Newton Abbot in the very first pre-season friendly that had been paid up and released well before the season actually started. 99% sure he was called Richard Bouton or similar.

Surprised to see him axed. Surely one of the shortest tenures of any footballer playing for the Gulls. Played his first league match on 2 Sept and his last on the 12 Sept. No doubt someone will know of a shorter reign?
