His stint at Notts doesn’t seem to have done much for his career. If he was happy warming the bench, it suggests a lack of ambition and determination. Notts needs the exact opposite, players who are at the top of their game. While I wish him well, I’m glad he’s moved on.

Goodbye and good riddance. He acted like he was something special and treated his time at Notts as if it was just a paid holiday. When he first signed with us, I know someone who asked for a photo. He agreed, but I heard he was always complaining and trying to hurry things along.

He’s now part of the transfer group that includes Joel Taylor and Kairo Mitchell. Despite the fee paid, he didn’t deliver much or have any luck. It seems a bit unfair on Taylor, who appeared to be a good player but just couldn’t surpass Adam Chicksen. Will Randall didn’t live up to the expectations that accompanied his arrival.

Randall’s exit could be a hidden blessing. It seems to have paved the way for today’s arrival, who I hope is a suitable player that can contribute consistently. It’s unfortunate when a player’s tenure doesn’t work out, but I’m optimistic about our future direction.

He didnt seem to fit well in with the squad so its better than he gets another opportunity somewhere else and we arnt paying his wages to not get game time.

Somehow I completely missed this one. Based on what he showed us last season it isn't much of a loss, but it does open another gap in our squad we need to fill.

Taylor's career path makes for a strange read.

 

Now in NPL Div One (step 7/8). Has he given up?

Will Randall was given numerous opportunities to demonstrate his capabilities. There were instances last season when his vitality could have provided respite for other weary players, but he never fully committed. I’ve never observed a winger like him, one who receives the ball only to swiftly pass it to another player, only to retrieve it in the exact same position, and then to relinquish possession backwards without making a forward run. It’s exasperating when you encounter players of this nature, but he never appeared to be an integral part of the squad or settled. We seldom heard from him and he scarcely seemed to interact with fans.

I believe he will return to Sutton United. He had a successful stint with them, and given their recent relegation, it would be a wise decision for him to attempt to assist them in their climb back up. Although it’s unlikely to happen, he was a good fit there.

@Super_Danny_Allsopp This situation reminds me of what often happened to players before the Reedtz brothers took over. I’m surprised because I thought he was a talented player with an impressive cross. His move to Chester seemed to be about wanting stability. I can’t speculate on why it hasn’t worked out, but I wonder if injuries have played a part.

This is likely one of the most disappointing signings in recent memory, as he seemed to be a high-quality player when he arrived. Whatever the reason for his lacklustre performances, it didn’t pan out. I personally believe Will Randall probably wanted to play consistently, but joining our squad, he was unlikely to achieve that without putting in the effort. He paid too much attention to the praise given before the signing, rather than seizing the opportunities presented to him. It’s more of a letdown on his part, as we offered him a chance to step up, and he didn’t seize it.

I have just read an article stating that both John Bostock and Will Randall, have recently played in a game for Swindon as trialists, against the U21 Southampton team. 

This could potentially be a beneficial move for both footballers. However, there are some concerns regarding Will Randall’s motivation to excel in a team like Swindon. Swindon has a reputation for cycling through players at a faster rate than we were accustomed to in the past. It’s something to consider.
