Without ever having seen him play, I thought Stretton was highly thought of??
Not surprised Lusala or Stretton have been released, don’t stand out for the U21s when I saw them. I always thought Stretton was going to be good but didn’t look very fit/energetic the last time I saw him play.

I’ve seen a few and he didn’t stand out, got ability but didn’t seem to show it enough.
He featured (and scored) in pre season a fair bit from memory, and was on the bench quite a lot early in the season so yeah he did seem to be rated.
I thought Stretton looked decent. A young player who looked natural on the ball.
Be interesting to see where Kelly & Moore end up. Reckon Kelly could still have a year or two in league one. Moore suspect will need to drop lower - league two maybe.
As a career number 2, he might nail a nice number at a decent sized club. Hopefully so.
That’s is a very nice piece acknowledging Liam Kelly’s contribution to the clubs recent progress.
Watching Stretton in pre season and when he played against Nuneaton Boro, I thought he looked like the next stand out youth player to come through. Probably speaks volumes that the small bunch of U21 players that have been on the bench pretty much all season haven't had a look in, and then Dausch pops up at the last minute with some game time.
Because others are still under contract, so will depend on offers coming in.
What did you expect, the club to write off some contracts?
Have done for years. We had greats like Danny Cashman and Tom Costello the last few years
Bin the u23s off, waste of time
Moore has got random move to Arsenal to be 4th choice written all over him.
Frankly if by 20 you aren’t on loan at a league club it breaking through to get some minutes why are you even here?
The under 23's are about developing footballers, not necessarily for our first team. You have to look at the bigger picture going forward. For example Chelsea have made more than a £132 million on selling youngsters who have never played for their first team.. Which makes what we made on Gyokeres and Hamer look like peanuts.
Thats straw clutching lets be honest. The standard of player we have in the U23s is piss poor, and the likes of Cashman couldn't even make it in the National League
Cashman was a really odd one. We loaned him out several times straight away so it wasn't a case of bulking up the u23 squad numbers.
The twitter admin always talked about him like he was a superstar too. I just don't get why we took him on in the first place.

It doesn't mean you have to give up on the under 23's. The club has a long history of producing good young talent. But it is not an exact science
You don’t need an U23 team to do that tho. After 18 just train with the first team until you go on loan.
Perhaps it was a case of him letting his head go down and not forfilling his potential? Perhaps he had other stuff going on in his life? Perhaps he just lost his love for football?
Any one of these things can happen.
They need their own fixtures and if you have very good under 18's they need under 23 fixtures to develop If you want to attract good youngsters the right framework has to be there to attract them. We are still spring cleaning the under investment of SISU. It won't all happen overnight.
Wait, what? Lusala? The Lusala that a number of posters on here were calling on Robins to play and moaned when he didn't play him? That Lusala? 
Just goes to show how short on numbers we were, because Robins clearly didn't rate Lusala or Stretton, but kept putting them on the bench, obviously just to make up the numbers.

Yes, just like we had some senior Pros on the bench not fully fit and he was thinking can I get away with them giving me 15 minutes without screwing their rehab.
