Following on from the best signing poll, I'd also thought I'd ask you which player you were most gutted to see leave Crawley since the end of last season. I have included players who have left on loan deals
Hard to choose between Morris and Kwesi but the disappointment is tempered by the march of time and age in both cases. The one who I thought did have many years left for us was Archie Davies, who in my view had a good season last year

Yeah I was a bit surprised with Archie tbh. Didn't perform the best last season but was the only legit RB we had at the time
RGC I was very sad about. Think if he'd got a full pre season behind him he may have returned to his pre injury form

This. As our only recognised RB it was a big surprise to see Davies binned off, but I believe that was done before KB took over? I was gutted for RGC when he fought his way back from a horrendous injury, to see him let go before he was fully fit. A one year deal wouldn't have hurt, give him a chance to see if he could get back to his pre-injury levels when he was very good for us, but football is ruthless. He is the sort of player I believe KB would want to work with - again, was he let go before Betsy took over?
Morris, Appiah, Rodari and Gallagher are technically still with the club as they are out on loan and could be recalled in January as there is normally a recall option in the loan agreement.

I mentioned in the description that I included loaned players (seeing that they are playing for another club at the moment, albeit temporarily)

Yes you're right about the timing, both were announced to be leaving in May, and Betsy was appointed in early June

That's a good point - so if Kwesi does show some form and our other options do not live up to the mark, there is a potential Plan B
