Danny Lye

[David Holden]

Danny Lye has left the club to join Dartford.

Now I'm sorry, but I think that there is something seriously wrong in house.

Danny Lye, Jamie Carter, Lew Watts all depart for various reasons

(along with all the others that have come and gone);

Craig Wilkins wants to leave.

 

What the hell is going on??? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Danny Lye? Dartford? What a waste. He was superb in the Ryman Premier last season, surely he can do better than Dartford?

[Richard C]

I think Daz, to stay in the league we have found we need slightly better more experienced players, and the Bentleys and Whites of the team will prove to be crowd favourites over the next couple of years hopefully. Its a natural transition which is hard for the fans to take! I'l never forget when Portway went the crowd didnt like it, It had to happen though! Shame to see Danny go, was fleet through and through - who will foget his last goal for the fleet!!!!! and indeed at our last win!!!!

[David Holden]

I assume you mean Jamie Coyle as Jamie Carter is still with us.

 

You have to be aware that we are on a tight budget and if we are to bring in players of the quality of Adrian Pennock then we have to balance the books.

 

You have to be fair to the players as well. If you consider that Jimmy Strouts couldn't even make the bench on Tuesday, then it is unlikely that Danny will get another match this season unless we have another spate of injuries to the midfield.

 

Whilst I'm am sorry to see Danny go, I think it makes sense both for the club and the player.

The finest prospect to leave since Robbo .

I agree with Stu M , certainly a division better than Dartford .

[Matt (GNFC)]

They all left because they're not good enough.. simple as that. Danny is good enough for a league above Dartford, but fair play to Tommy Sampson as he's starting to build a decent little outfit down there...Resters scored for them on Saturday.

[Alan ( GNFC )]

A bit harsh Matt .

Danny Lye stepped up from a standard below the Kent League to the Ryman Prem in one season and is a strong player .

Shame he couldnt just be loaned out .

[Matt (GNFC)]

One last question while we talk abt players, why is it that Elliot Martin wont play conference football? Its not as if he's 35 yrs of age and past his best. Id like to see him playing personally.

[Richard C]

Last year he played more than Skins (or at least a similar amount) this year would have been nice to see him because I always thought he was equally as good as skins had a few little bits of skill, but I think he would be pushed off the ball a bit to easy in this league, skins would never do that.

I am also sorry to see Danny Lye go, but the said fact are that the budget must be met, I agree though that he is better than Dartford standard. I believe the reason Elliot does not play is because with his work he cannot undertake the long distances involved.

[John FW]

It is a sad fact that drastic measures have to be taken if we are to stay in the Conference. As has been said, budgetary constraints mean that sacrifices have to be made in order to bring in better (hopefully) players. I think that Andy said at the end of last season he felt that the players had "over-performed" but that he would retain the core of the side to give everyone a chance to prove himself at a higher level. In general, this he has done but recent results indicate that drastic action needs to be taken.I too agree that Danny Lye has played well on most occasions and so I am sad to see him go.

I'm also disappointed to see Danny go - particularly after, as Richard C points out, that screamer at Nuneaton.

 

I only hope that Ben White and Dwayne Plummer justify our decision to bring them in, otherwise their arrivals will be pointless considering that we have just had to let a player like Danny go. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

 

Good luck with the Darts Danny! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It is a shame to see Danny go he will always give his best and to be fair to Danny he stepped up three leagues last year and i think this league was one step to far for him would have been nice to loan him to Dartford or a league above to see how he goes, but unfortunatly budgets rule in this case and the players coming in are good experienced players and i would rather have these playing than inexperience, it's a tough game and i think there are at least another three players who i do not think will make the grade at this level.
