Not renewing his contract.
Rumour that he’s got an offer from a National League side.
I wish him well. On his day with the ball at his feet he could cause panic in opposition defences, but he wasn’t able to produce consistently and he looked a bit lightweight in our midfield. I was always a bit surprised when GJ said he wanted bigger, stronger players after our first season back in EFL, and then we got Sellars and Morrell, and that pairing was not ideal on match day.

Shame. I thought Sellars had some skill. I suspect he will turn out to be a decent player in the end.

Another Munns. Small players can succeed when they have the quality to rise the leagues. But if they don’t have quality to get the better of big L2 brutes, cloggers and shin kickers they won’t get far.
We cannot carry players like Sellars season after season in the hope that he will repay that faith and come good.
Wasn't prepared to knuckle down and do the basics. Namely tackle, challenge for headers and running back. His marking was
non-existent. Absolute luxury player. The most disappointing thing is that Gary was prepared to give him another contract.

Please... Munnsy could cross the ball; Sellars' main skill was coming inside and running in straight line across the pitch. Skilful feet, yes. Ability to make things happen? Hmm...only once in a blue moon, I'm afraid.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Another Munns.
And would you like a list of goals Munns was responsible for giving away due to him losing the ball with his back to goal ? Neither player really done enough for usasl wrote:Please...

Always wondered how sell-on clauses worked. Thanks for imparting such knowledge on the forum.Robin wrote:Depends how successful he is at his new club, if he does well and a bigger club buys him we take a percentage.

A lot of skill and trickery; but size matters and it was sad to see him bundled off the ball so frequently. He will 'muscle up' in time and no doubt become a sought after player in a couple of years time. I wish him well for his future. Just hope that we find a decent replacement soon [ ie quick/skillful/vision]!
He has the best close control I have ever seen at this level (and quite possibly ever). The ball seemed glued to his feet, and with good pace. However, with a tendency to cut inside, little work-rate off the ball, no end product in crossing or goals and a general lacking in game intelligence, means he's a luxury we can ill-afford to keep. Shame, but time to move on, and good luck to the lad.

A lot of people seem to say that Sellars has potential - this is possible, but he will turn 23 in December. He really should be coming of age about now
True. It was really frustrating watching him at times because he seemed to have all the attributes to run straight through most teams, but never seemed to have either the belief that he was going to score or create at the end of it, which is backed up by some of the very unconvincing shots he had that almost dribbled through to the keeper. He never looked like he thought he was about to score when he hit a shot.

Good at dribbling but that’s it. Same as you get some players who might be good at shooting but nothing else. He’ll do well at whichever non-league level he ends up at. We need players who offer more of an all round game for their position. No loss. Onwards.
