I wish him well bet I'm concerned that the squad is shrinking by the day 

I will feel much better when we see some incomings.

@Robbie  I agree both with wishing him well and concern for the squad size and depth. 

i think of the 3 original players listed for transfer that is 2 that have been released now by mutual consent. So no money coming in but I suppose a reduction in the wage bill. 

When he signed I thought we had a promising signing, but he never fitted in, and I don't think he really pushed himself enough. As I said before, he always seemed to be isolated and stuck up. Had he integrated himself better, he might have been able to produce better performances because when he did get chances those games mostly passed him by. I don't wish to be harsh on him, but it was often like going down to 10 men.

There's a player in there, I just don't believe he wants to work for it. He's probably better suited to teams where he's one of the better players in the squad and therefore doesn't require the effort to break into a team like ours.

He really should have featured more as a player for us, but it wasn't to be. I'm glad he's agreed a release with Notts, I didn't see anyone coming in for him. Now, I imagine a club will pick him up because his wages will be more negotiable.

A field where dreams become reality.

It’s beneficial that the club and Will Randall have decided to go their separate ways. He never seemed to fit in and lacked the motivation to succeed. He’ll likely join a National League team and restart his career. It was worth a shot, but it’s not always possible to rely on players to replicate their success from smaller teams in a competitive squad.

he spends to much time on his looks than applying himself, i never rated him. its a shame it did not work out but i am glad we have been able to talk him into agree to depart.

signings like this will happen but fewer they do, the better we will be.

The move didn’t pan out solely due to Will Randall’s approach. He didn’t seize the early opportunities he had and seemed detached. I understand that it can take time, but he never appeared to be catching up with the team’s style of play. He did alright at times, with very limited involvement, but considering the anticipation surrounding his arrival, it ended up being a letdown. I wish him well, but I’d prefer someone with less skill but more passion to play than Randall.

Oh oh oh ohhhhh, everywhere where we go, watching super County putting on a show!

Yeah, just didn't work out for him, a move that suits all really.

He won't down in the annuals with the worst ever signings alongside the likes of Sol Campbell and Casper Sloth. He saved himself by actually playing a handful of games but he's probably in the Second Volume though, I think Virgil Gomis is the last entry in that one...

It’s possible that he simply didn’t mesh well with our system, and he never seemed like someone who would adapt and thrive. Will Randall’s transfer turned out to be unfruitful, though I don’t hold Notts responsible. It’s largely up to the player to showcase his skills, and the early injuries he sustained appear to have hindered him from making a strong start.

Glad to be rid of him if I’m honest. Complete wasted signing and just could not be bothered to get himself fit enough to play.

I did think that we would be lumbered with him for another year as couldn’t see anyone wanting him.

 

He did nothing to establish a connection with the fans or the club, nor did he strive to perform well enough to secure a place in the squad. His signing was quite wasteful, as his playing time could have been allocated to a player from the youth team instead.

Very poor signing. He might do better later, but for two years he did nothing of note. It's best we paid up and got rid of him. He was rubbish when given a chance.

It’s a situation that didn’t work out. It seemed like an ideal signing, but not everything goes as planned. Best of luck to Will Randall; he needs to play every week. He won’t get that here. It was doubtful he would be a first-team player when he signed. This is for the best.
