Can't say I agree with your 'correction', but the comparison with Connolly and Cashman is interesting. Neither have gone out on loan (apart from Connolly's derisory two appearances for Luton) to see how well they can carry on their goal-scoring spree in 'grown-up' football. Some of us are of the opinion that Connolly should spend time nurturing his skills on loan this season - personally I'd have liked to have seen how well Cashman did in, say, League 1 before we released him, but hey-ho - what is what is.

He was there last season (2019-20) to cover for Carl Rushworth who had arranged to go on loan but then broke a finger.
Rees did return to Worthing this season, but actually played fewer matches (due to the pandemic) and his last match was November 3rd.
As ever I'm happy to bow to your knowledge!
McGill behind Rushworth in the queue I'd have thought?
Yep but they both move up a place in the queue is what I was trying to get at.
Don’t we have options on Richards and ostigaard?
Keen on Ostigard - but has Gyokeres impressed that much?
Serious question - just asking)

Feels like part of the decision making is the players who are coming up from the u18s next year

A mate is a Coventry fan that is quite involved with fan stuff online (forum/social media etc); he says they're both popular and fans want them there next season. That's the extent of what I was told! Gyokeres has scored a few goals for them.

Interesting comments about Danny Cashman on this thread. I haven't seen a lot of the U-23s this season, but when I have I've been impressed with Cashman as one of the hardest working players on the pitch. He is also clearly capable of finding the net; six goals this season (and in his U-15 schoolboy season he notched 44 goals). He has 8 caps for England at U-16 and U-17 level.
However, I have also wondered to myself this season: can I honestly envisage him breaking into the Albion first-team in the Premier League? If so, in what position? Does he have the physicality to thrive in that environment?
There is a heck of a step up from the U-23s to the Premier League (just ask Aaron Connolly).
He has been with Albion since U-12 level, so they have had ample opportunity to assess whether they think he will become a Premier League player (and that, ultimately, is what it boils down to).
I wish him all the best; it will be interesting to see where his footballing career progresses from here.

Why oh why oh why?
Cashman is a weird one, given there was an article on him on the club website only three (3) days ago:

And Cochrane - I was simply stating who we can expect to hear an announcement about over the next few weeks. Options are simply that - options - they don't HAVE to be taken up by the club, as evidenced by the fact that they haven't taken up Cashman's option.
That does seem odd given they must have already had the decision then or at least have an inkling he'd be released.
Good point. Well spotted.

What? Nobody in League 1or 2 were wanting to take him? Even USG told Uncle Tony where to stick him? Surely if that's that case there must be more to this than meets the eye. What is it you know that the rest of us don't?

RE: Cashman, *you wonder if* they wanted to loan him out this season but were not able to...
Sorry, long day. Do feel like in 'normal' season he would of had a league 1/ 2 club take a chance on him in January.
He retweeted earlier today the story about how Mendy went from a released Cherbourg player to Chelsea first team keeper, good luck to him!
