In my opinion, one of the only players we have that has got better with us, they usually get worse!0

What a nice guy9

Really good guy, gave his all but ultimately not quite good enough. Really hope he finds a decent club and best of luck to him.5
-
Comes across really well in that article...
Can understand his 'surprise' at being let go given he was a regular pick by Jones - but hey Terrell, we kept leaking goals!3 -
Yes, I'm sure he felt there was a reasonable chance he would be offered another contract but that's football for you.
On their day both Hector and Thomas put in good performances but collectively the defence wasn't strong enough and 2 stronger centre backs and a better goalie are key for next season.0 -
It's a good interview and he comes across well. I thought he had a decent season and wish him well in the future.0

Thomas was quite unfortunate in the timing of his contract coming up. I'm sure that if Thomas had had another year on his deal and Gillesphey or Lloyd Jones had found their contract was up then they would have gone instead. We're at a stage where we won't try to actively sell the defenders we have, we'll be looking to add better players over them so we're clearing space in the squad and the budget to get the players we want

He's definitely not one of those players I'd be glad to be rid of inasmuch as they have a bad attitude or lack of effort.Covered_End_Lad said:Really good guy, gave his all but ultimately not quite good enough. Really hope he finds a decent club and best of luck to him.
I'm definitely not saying that I think we should have kept him, it's yet again a decent player when we need a great one, but I think he'll find himself a new club relatively easily.0 - Sponsored links:

Nice enough guy but if we want to get promoted you have to ask would he have gotten into either of Powell or Bowyer’s teams? The answer is no to both. A decent bench option but literally no point in offering new deals to bench players when that role can be taken by Gillesphey or Jones while we look to bring a better replacement in.1
-
The first team no. Better than the late career version of Gary Doherty we had in 11/12? Absolutely. We were quite blessed with CBs in 18/19 because we'd recently been in the Championship so he wouldn't get near Bauer, Pearce, Sarr and Bielik. You're right though, the position we're in is we let the ones expiring go and get in better than what's left. It bodes well as long as we make those signings.MartinCAFC said:Nice enough guy but if we want to get promoted you have to ask would he have gotten into either of Powell or Bowyer’s teams?

Yes, the same situation where Pratley was released as we still had Ben Watson under contract.Garrymanilow said:Thomas was quite unfortunate in the timing of his contract coming up.

Yes there were injury and fitness issues, but it's slightly concerning that Thomas played far more under Jones than either of the January signings REG and Gillesphey, both of which signed long contracts.1 -
Pete O’Rourke has said Notts County are making him an offer.

I really hope we bring in some defenders who show just our bad our CBs have been in the last few seasons.3 -

I honestly reckon that’s true of around 80% of L1 defenders/defences.0 -
Lg2 is his level tbfScoham said:Pete O’Rourke has said Notts County are making him an offer.

I think he could do a job with a mid to lower L1 club, the sort of club happy to stay in L1, rather than a promotion chasing one.11

Notts County like to play the passing game and this is not one of Terrell's strengths!
Strange fit imo2 - Sponsored links:

Joined Carlisle on a 2 year deal.22 -
Good luck to him, seems a decent bloke.5
-
Really good signing for them. At that level he should be one of the best defenders.0
-
I'm honestly surprised he's dropping to L2, I'd honestly think he'd be able to get another league one deal but I'm glad he's at least not been out of work too long3
-
Very best wishes Terrell.
Nice to see you sorted7 -
Carlisle now have Thomas and Lavelle in Defence.
Thats poor reward for all the times they've helped us get promoted /s12 -
Says a lot that the majority of our defenders end up in L2 not L1 once released!thenewbie said:I'm honestly surprised he's dropping to L2, I'd honestly think he'd be able to get another league one deal but I'm glad he's at least not been out of work too long5 -
There's no need for elaborate explanations as to why we've been conceding so many goals over the past few seasons. The CBs have not been near the level required.1
-
Innis and Thomas in L2--both joined sides just relegated to L2. I know Lavelle is there as well but when he left us it was to a L1 side. Deji went to Bromley but wasn't anywhere near our side.North Lower Neil said:

Sess and Clare both finished above us last season. Famewo (I know we didn't release him but chose not to sign him) got promoted after leaving us.
I wouldn't say it's "the majority," I would say it's "some."1 -
That’s a jaunt for a South Eastern lad. Bet he is gutted that’s the offer to take.
Wish him well though4
