Just got a text saying that we have released JimmyPhilips, Marc Grocott and Tom Thorley.
Now I rate Jimmy Philips very highly, what type of impression are setting to our younger academy players when we are letting one of our best academy graduates leave!

What little I saw of Philips he looked a half decent player, however, he lacked strength and looked very light weight.
Good luck to them though.

Apparently one of thems got a trial with Hereford, Think it might be Thorley.

Surprised and also disappointed that we've let little Jimmy go. Thought he had the talent to make the grade and still think he can make a decent living from the game.

Out of the three, I rate Jimmy the highest. Would he make it at the top level? I don't know, but having given him a contract in the summer of 2008, we should give him the best chance to prove himself. Twelve months (half of which have been spent shining at Stafford) isn't enough.
I never understood why we gave the average Grocott a contract in the first place while Thorley will hopefully get something on the back of his trial.

A shame to see Jimmy Phillips go, looked a decent prospect.
Paterson, Karl Henry, Commons have come through the academy. Plus Wilko and Dicko have come through the academy.
