It was pros and cons with Bratts. You'd get half a dozen belters a year, some games when his eye was in and he'd make killer passes, but all too often he was the nexus of the slow transition forward that frequently killed our attacking potential. He wasn't the only one, but for a midfielder carrying an attacking role, he all too often didn't.

There were many a time when players looked to make a pass and there was no one forward because everyone was in defence. That was according to the game plan devised by Joyce. Can't blame him or any other player for having a bad manager. I do hope he can find a manager and team that will let him create the play but certainly Joyce was not one of them.

Hard to make an assessment on any player forward of the cb's under Joyce. His game style/plan not to mention the mental games he played with just about every player in the squad makes it hard to know the real capabilities of each player. We will see this season (with the players that are left) how good they really are. My mail is that the atmosphere around the place is 100% better.

The problem now will be any decisions Mombaerts & Co. have already made (e.g. Brillante) on the basis that Bratts was going elsewhere, and of course space under the cap.

I don’t want him to come back give the promising younger players a chance. Use the last remaining pennies on a forward player.

All these players leaving is part of our revival process- our new style football will be quick and technical.
