Bit gutted for him really, never fulfilled his potential but had a good game in the play-off final. I don't really know who they're expecting to get at this level, he's one of the better 'keepers in League One.
Gary Naysmith, Gary Roberts, Danny Cadamarteri, Tommy Miller, Nathan Clarke, Aidan Chippendale and Simon Thomas all released by Huddersfield - I heard a rumour we may be interested in Roberts, but surely he'd be out of our price range?

I've got us clear by four points after Wycombe fail to win (except against us) and we sneak a draw at Bury courtesy of an M'Voto 30 yarder.
At the other end of the table, Charlton finish on 103 points whilst Wednesday pip United to the automatic spot by 2 points, draws with MK Dons and Stevenage being the pivotal moments for the Blades. Huddersfield, Dons and Stevenage make up the final play-off spots.
I'm only 16 so I don't remember those times, but what I will say is that I think Corney is doing his best with a bad situation - I can't see why anyone would want to invest in a team towards the bottom of League One and a crap ground. He's trying, for example the Golden Ticket, so I don't think he's mis-managing as such, but there's only so much he can do with not much money and a dwindling support.
I don't know what we can do, but I know that I will never stop going to games - yes it can be depressing, yes it can be infuriating, but that's what makes the good things so much better when they come. Maybe we'll never get any higher than we are now, but I'm an Oldham fan and nothing can change that, so I'm going to follow my club whatever happens.
That's a joke, we don't have enough strikers as it is and Kuqi's not scoring, it would have been perfect for Smith to play now but instead we loan him out and reduce our options even more. He's been a regular sub, who do we put on the bench now?
There was another one that I've remembered too; Taylor had just been tackled and the same man who made the relegation comment exploded with 'he's gonna end up at Maccelsfield. That's where he belongs, at the Mac.'
At PNE when we went 2-0 down the man behind me came out with this beauty: 'I'd just play the youth team for the rest of the season, give them some experience. I'd take relegation.'
