Craig has hardly been reliable since he has been here. James Clarke played in the reserve game id rather have him in there. Craig was a needless signing and is costing us points. I dont agree with you but then again i seldom do. James clarke is the answer in your view then? I have in the past asked you to predict the future for our young players like menayese,broadbent and bola but all your scouting ability and player knowledge suddenly deserts you when cornered and you whimper something vague about not seeing them play much. You gotta laugh havnt you? Butterfly I agree with you half the time but that's because you are so skitzso its unreal. I didnt say James Clarke was the answer I said he was a better option than Craig. Dam read posts properly you fool

A common thread with my posting is giving bristol rovers players a fair chance. it strikes me that the best argument you can come up with for dc to play broadbent is to slag off craig. Im not keen on the scapegoating thing that you and others are so fond of so more than happy to defend what i say thanks.

One thing for sure is Craig wont get any better but good chance Tom Broadbent will continue to improve with game time that's why for me it's Broadbent that should have played today. Craig is a useful squad player but no more than that.

I dont think craig made any mistakes today,in fact i think hes done well since he signed. I like broadbent hes done well for a player in his 1st season as a pro. I think dc went for the safety 1st option when he signed craig after all the buck stops at his door. Its fashionable on here to slaughter craig sadly but this is a very negative place so hey ho. What about the goal where he made no attempt to cut out the though ball and how did he let Brown come all the way over from LB to try and stop the goal scorer when he was behind him & TL in the 6 yard box? Plus what about the move where he tries to play offside gets it wrong then leaves two attackers to picked up again by poor old Brown. If you don't think Craig made any mistakes either you know nothing about football or are just being a WUM. Just when we wanted an Elliot type leader we get an inferior Locks! DC said the goal was Brown's fault. And so did Brown.

The manager made the decision and i totally get his thinking.

The manager made the decision and i totally get his thinking. The Craig signing was different to the other two you mention, firstly because we were in the conference then and league 1 is quicker, secondly Craig is reluctant to move home to the West Country, thirdly Craig is probably on double the wages compared with the two you mention. Add to that as you said yourself he's not really a central defender, he's a full-back who has lost what speed he had and IMO is too short for a central defender playing alongside TL. He's also holding up Broadbent's progress which is the biggest problem I have with the signing. What do you do with him next season? If you keep playing him then Broadbent is wasted and if you drop him you are paying a big wage which could be spent on the midfielder we really need.

Total waste of a signing Craig was/is; we have Lockyer, Broadbent, Sweeney, Menayese (until recently), Clarke coming back. No need to sign him, we need players in other areas like Ojo was doing for Scunny today. It s all well and good having "leaders" and "talkers" on the pitch, but they have to be up to the job as well.

Well pirate kindly pointed out that he played 25 times at centre back and 31 at left back last season. Craig is 6ft tall the same as sergio ramas. The only decent point your making is that craig could be blocking broadbents progress by denying him league experience. Thats the managers call at the end of the day and im sure hes made it with a cool head designed to make sure we stay up in league one and more. Its not tony craigs fault that dc has made that call.

Craig made one error which ended in a goal,last week at wimbledon otherwise hes been very good.

A fellow fan told me that he was watered off with being left out of the squad v Wimbledon and took it up with DC on the coach home and D.C. wasn’t impressed with that attitude so that’s why he’s out of the match day squad today.
I hope that’s bullshit because Tom Brosdbent is a quality center half and has probably been our best defender this season. It’s only a rumour , as I’ve heard it on the blackthorn but we’ll see I suppose. I really like Tom Broadbent he’s been Dam ace this seaso he’s made the odd error but if I was him I’d be a bit put out too I think. DC is great man manager I trust him to sort it out if there is a problem.

Craig looks like another Liam Lawrence in that they are both expensive wastes of space It’s a bit early to say really . He’s done ok , got beaten in the air last week other than that looks solid and is probably a good experienced player to have in the squad . Time will tell but I’d be careful about saying he’s a good or bad signing after less than a month of him being here. People on here seem pretty quick to wright players off after one bad game or one mistake. Ellis harrison scored our equaliser today and is our top scorer . I rest my case.

IMO Broadbent isn't playing as he brings the ball out of defence too much. Judging by today's performance, DC wants his defenders to defend, and just lump the ball forward for the front 2.
