3spirit Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Can't say I'm surprised that we have let Matt Day go, as we now have the option of playing Sam Togwell at the back. Plus might free up a bit more money for another player,when needed. Tickled me, that I thought Matt Day would come back for pre-season looking lighter than he had at the end of last season and yet,when I saw him recently he looked like he had put more weight on ! Shouldn't think he will be short of offers, though and I expect him to be snapped up by someone.Perhaps he'll go back to Hungerford or drop down a division.

Curtis Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Matt, Thank you for your contribution during the run in to the end of last season, you undoubtedly assisted significantly with the promotion. I wish you lots more success wherever it is that you move on to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlenSTFC Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 No disrespect to Bracknell but I’m surprised Matt hasn’t joined a team at least one level below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wycombe Rebel Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Don't want to sound harsh as I think Matt Day is naturally a stocky build but looking at the photo of him joining Bracknell on Twitter, he looks like he has gained more weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 No disrespect to Bracknell but I’m surprised Matt hasn’t joined a team at least one level below. He's dropping down two levels which IMO will be ideal for him to get a regular game which he obviously needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I’m basing it on the fact he’s been a regular Conference South player (plus top player whilst at Hungerford) for a while so it’s surprisingly he’s had to drop to a newly promoted Step 5 team.

Could be just the case that as players get older they have to look after themselves in order to carry on playing at a certain level. Bracknell are a good club and seem to be heading in the right direction so for me it could be the ideal club for Matt Day to get a regular start and thus improve his overall fitness.

Last season he did a great job for us but clearly struggled against pace. By dropping down to a really good side in Bracknell he will be able to,bring all his knowledge to bear and will occasionally come up against pace but more likely to be raw pace with less experience.

As has been said before, if you're of a certain age or of a certain build you have to make the effort and look after yourself if you want to carry on playing football at the highest level you can. Matt Day is easily a good enough player to to still be playing in the National South but not sure the desire is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
