    John Fleck Contract Situation

    I've watched Ricketts a fair bit as its been one of my biggest gripes this season. He does nothing as a captain. Not once I've seen him talk/advise/motivate anyone. He's one the original more senior squad members and this one one of the main reasons he was brought in, yes he was captain of...

    John Fleck Contract Situation

    Can back this claim up. Does not call the back line or communicate during the game. One of our most quiet players. Ramage was more vocal in his time at the back tho that was his only strong point.

    Formation.

    No just still unsure on Lorenztson, like to see him in more games to make a judgement on his defensive qualities. It's a concern for him tho how he's favoured Phillips for his defensive ability. Could be curtains for Lorenztson. And yes they are players in there prime not young loanees away...

    The 3 teams coming down from the Championship

    Out of the teams coming down I only see MK giving half a challenge about getting back via the play offs. Charlton are a club with abysmal owners and are really in trouble, and I don't see Bolton doing much better. Wide open league next year

    Formation.

    I do agree with you that a reliance on 1 or 2 goal scorers is not healthy but if the defence tightens up that will naturally pick up points. Sadly to use Leicester as a example they only have had 2 main goal scorers all season in mahrez and vardy and had a tight defence and collected pts well...

    Formation.

    Didn't go to Wigan so can only go on what I've read here and reports from the game. 1st half believe we started 433, then switched to 4231 in second half. If reports are right then we enjoyed more success with the 433, than our original 4231. Anyone at Wigan game confirm this? Would you like to...

    Aaron Martin

    I agree with this, this injury is slightly different to his previous one and TM was looking after his playing time and training schedule. Worth another punt on a pay as you play deal, not a 1 contract. If someone else offers him a contract that his decision to make, and he'll be off but from a...

    "Realistic" free transfers or signings only

    He's not at the same level as he was, looks very much like his career at this level is over, just not good enough. Or not good enough for what we need

    Aaron Martin

    He's contracted till 2018 so they can loan him for development. Martin has done really well this season. I'd like to see Ben turner next to him next season as our captain. To good central defenders there.

    "Realistic" free transfers or signings only

    Totally agree with you here, we're thinking the same. It's called option b and c....... We've relied upon AA all season and he offers you the pace and gets in behind. That's not always gonna work. Over a season it's proven you need more than just that. You need a bruit of a striker, sure he's...

    "Realistic" free transfers or signings only

    "Realistic" free transfers or signings only Yeah true they have, but then whys he still in the last few months of his current deal? Is he running his contract down as he wants to play higher and have a choice of club. Yes that may well still be at rovers but footballs a funny game...

    "Realistic" free transfers or signings only

    Matty Taylor scored again yesterday for Bristol rovers. Has to be on everyone's free transfers list. Dan Holman also scored again for Cheltenham. Another striker who could come good at this level on a free.

    Judgement of signings

    I'll throw a name forward who could of done well under Presley if again we had the right wide players and a AA type striker to play off him. Gary madine. Won 80% of his headers and dangerous from crosses. Just had no decent service that season.

    Judgement of signings

    I'd agree with a few comments on here that the signing of Joe Cole was not quite the positive impact the team needed. Can understand the reason for signing him up, but it's not panned out to be the success it could of been. Even Joe Cole day didn't go to plan! Poor lameires has been really short...

    Mowbray needs to go

    Spot on! Most seem to think we should of done something... Not sure what just something. Oh and it's all TM's fault.

    Mowbray needs to go

    Maybe he should of got 5 more loans, might of pleased everyone! What do people expect to get in January? The summer is where our business is done.

    Mowbray needs to go

    I've not seen anything to say it was bullshit so I'll leave that as a difference of opinion. Only thing I'll say is if there was a suitable scouting network in place, records and evidence to make firm efforts to bring them scouted targets in. Why did TM only go with Ricketts and vincelot? Why...

    Mowbray needs to go

    It's due to SP that were down to the bones of a poor squad of players with no scouting network. Presley left us a midfield of finch, fleck and Thomas. Strikers nouble and Jackson.
