Matt Platt

[Fazered]

Platts been missing since January. Ta’ra kid

Rubbish Cooper dropped him for several weeks. Came back playing OK in spite of dark cloud Cooper. He would have been the first player on my retained list

Probably dropped by Cooper when he became aware he had no intention of being here next season.

Which came first not wanting to stay here playing for Cooper or Cooper treating him badly?

[Middleton Nick]

Great player for us. His form was poor under Cooper when he played, so I don't know what went on behind the scenes. Finished the season strongly after Cooper left. Sad to see him leave, but all the best for the future Matt.

Just got to forget the dead wood and move on, plenty more fish in the sea, there is also very little loyalty amongst supporters either.

Platt certainly wasn’t dead wood. Move on we must but let’s respect the great player he was for us. Soild at the back for a majority of the games. There’s no loyalty In football from players but why should there be?

I'm not saying he wasnt a good player for us, I'm saying once his link to the club is severed he is dead wood, move on.

Disappointed he’s not gone up a division or 2. Definitely capable of higher standard of football

This. I can understand him moving up to League 1 but he hasn’t bettered himself at all by going to another League 2 team. Obviously just another money move.

Of course he has bettered himself. He's going to a team that are aiming for promotion. Much better than going to Bolton and sitting on the bench for a year stagnating.

[Big_Bluebird]

Massive club chasing promotion, proper training ground and more money. No brainier. Good luck to the lad

Playing under an ex-star player and ex-Premiership manager. And at a club with a much bigger stature than ours, probably on a bigger wedge too. No brainier for him.

Agree a lot more chance of growth and success, definitely a step up and raises his profile. And that ultimately leads to another further step up and a bigger bank balance if he fulfils his potential.
Thanks for your efforts Matt whilst at Barrow AFC

I wonder if that's how we got Canavan (a poor replacement!)?

[Matty]

That's a step up, to a lesser extent the same as what Evatt did moving from Barrow to Bolton who are in the same league. Morecambe lost their manager to them despite being a higher division. They're a huge club at this level and have had crowds of 17,000 and will be aiming for promotion.

Good luck to him.
