Very easy to lump all in together in a shite team. IMO Purrington has always been an effective, efficient and steady defender. But last season we saw a different aspect to his game. He's a real threat inside the opposition box. Strong in the air, and has a knack of getting into great goalscoring positions. Very pleased we've retained him, and he could be a big player in a good team.

but we havnt retained him really, offered new deal, not accepted yet.
Back up at best if looking for promotion , no thanks
You could be right, but played effectively in his right position in the right team, (left back of a back 4) I think he is good enough.
What I always found a bit strange was that when we signed Kirk, all Crewe fans said was he is effective with a good left back behind him supporting him and we never seemed to play the two of them together.
I like BP, he’s by no means irreplaceable but in my view, in league 1, we’re stronger with him than without him.
If he goes, we'll need at least two incoming FB's, unless we're to persist using wingers to play out of their favoured positions. He's steady, can deputize as a CB, and poses a goal threat. I'd like him to stay, but think he may decide it's time to move on if someone comes in for him..
Ben Purrington is on the hunt for a new club this summer after being told he will not be offered a new contract by Charlton Athletic.
I thought that he was one we were talking about a new Contract with, especially when the list announcing who had been released was put out by the club last month.
Just reading the last page or 2 of this thread where Purrington was playing LCB and it sent a shiver down my spine. Next season can only get better for us.

Hoping he has a stellar career ahead of him. Any lower league clubs needing a left back, he’d get a glowing reference from me.

As with other released players, it's a good decision if we get in better players.
