    I’d rather have both in the squad .  Apter is better technically , Small is more athletic.  I don’t see this wing back role lasting for Apter - we need him higher up the pitch with less defensive responsibility , in my view .  
    Definitely would rather have both, and losing Small is a big blow even if he wouldn’t be in our first eleven now. I think Apter is the better player for that role than Small is, but having Small to cover both sides would be ideal

    No way would Small have stayed with us, just to be cover on either side. 
    Yes and that’s why he left, we didn’t give him the contract of a key player because he isn’t one

    he was never staying contract or no contract he told the club that before the play off final … a young man who had 6 clubs ???? Tells its own story .. he won’t be at Preston next year unless they go up ??
  • Totally agree with you Ronnie ?????

    I think he’d have been a key player eventually, even if he hadn’t started the season .  Can’t have enough good footballers in your team - he’d have found his way in . 
  • Apter doesnt appear to be as quick as Small was, for me.

    Definitely would have been in future, but I think it’s more about making him one of our highest paid players. Some of the rest of the squad might not have been too pleased

    Agree but I’m sure he’ll score more, and he looks a better crosser and passer.

    Different players, I think both will have a good season with some inconsistency mixed in.

    But was Small willing to wait for "eventually"? Evidence suggests not - the story seems to be he wanted a guaranteed start and commensurate pay, Jones wasn't willing to make that deal and neither side compromised.
