Topics: 1Never quite got the hype around Ogle.
Athletic with fantastic work ethic, but his final delivery into the box 9 times out of 10 was terrible and made plenty of errors. I’m sure there are suitable replacements out there.

Agree with WG.
At this level there are 3 qualities a perfect full back needs.
1. Decent defensively.
2. Can pass and cross well.
3. Good in the air to help with the aerial bombardment.Ogle has 1 but neither 2 or 3 (Denton is the same).
Gives Barrows a proper opportunity and allows Butler the chance to recruit another full back with wider qualities.

However, on reflection, although I would have been delighted if he’d stayed, it’s not the end of the world.
I’m in the same camp, I’d rather he stayed, but it’s not too damaging that he’s gone. I always thought Barrows was the better all round RB, but whether he’s here next season is another thing all together.
If I was Butler I’d give Barrows assurance of first team football as first choice RB and then sign a younger one as back up. Apart from Ogle, Elliot is moving on according to twitter. Bit of a blow if he does go in my opinion.
I know he wasn’t a constant last season, but in a formation with two up top you would have thought he’d score 20+ goals.

Agree on the athleticism but his passing was awful and he relied on his pass to make up for a lack of positional sense.
Not a bad player by any means but equally I don’t think he’s irreplaceable.

Pretty much agree with all of the above.
He did his primary job of defending well enough but when we was needed to to be an extra attacking option, he got to the final third but the final ball wasn’t good enough. If we need the full backs to support and supplement the wide attacking player then the final ball should produce a better output.
Saying that he was one of those players that gave you at least 7 out of 10 each week.

Some revisionist history going on here methinks.
Ogle was a very good player at this level. If he had all the attribute that have been listed above he would be on his way to the Euro’s!!
An excellent player for us the last couple of years. Committed, consistent and a good bit of pace.
Another 10 like that in the team, in their respective positions, and we would – as Burney said last year – “piss the league”.
He may well be missed.

We have to remember that a lot of those players joined us last summer having turned down higher-ranked clubs, they didn’t do that for the love of SUFC and a burning desire to play in the Conference North.

Not the best start to the close season. Real shame not to get Butterfield – this is the reality fans have to get used to in this pub league
