Joe Gatting has now been released.

Shame really, but not really a surprise as hasn't looked like making it for some while.

Another six to go.He was rubbish at this level but good luck to him for the future,I did have high hopes for him when he was banging them in at youth level.Shame it didn't work out.

Shame but no big surprise.

Fair enough - he needs first team football, Brighton can't offer him that.

Good luck to him.

 

[SeagullRic]

Shame- I liked the look of him when he scored a few a couple of januarys ago, but he wasn't quite up to the mark.

It's in the argus this morning, and online version.

In the Fleetwood article bout half way down

 

[Wilka]

I think his loan spells killed him off. He didn't seem to make the grade much lower down the leagues.

 

[Sir Sarcy]

Best of luck to the lad, probably got the right attributes for lower level football but was never really goiong to cut it at us. Always tried though so no complaints.

 

[Trigger]

Writing was on the wall long ago, Robinson next.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Lewes?

 

[One True BHA]

real, real shame. not given enough chances in my opinion. hopefully will get another league club.

if not, will stroll into country cricket.

 

[The Large One]

Didn't he have a contract?

 

[clippedgull]

Didn't he have a contract?

Yes, but there has been a negotiated settlement. According to The Argus.

I didnt think he was as bad as some people made out to be, he was always good at getting the tap in in the 6 yard box, we dont really have one of those.

He always looked a class above in the reserves, but rarely showed it when he did play in first team. Always remember the 1-0 win at Chesterfield 2 seasons ago. A Rents cross from a corner to a Gatting finish, and the crowd singing LOUDLY for the whole game, ending with Wilkins speech to the crowd.

Agreed. That, and he could hold the ball up with his back to goal better than probably just about anyone else I've seen playing for the stripes. Really.

But that's about it, I'm afraid.
