Just a quick sample of results before tony craig. rovers 1 peterbro 4 wigan 3 rovers 0 portsmouth 3 rovers o shrewsbury 4 rovers o notts co 4 rovers 2 rovers 1 wimbledon 3 [ hey wait a minute only 3-1? ,it should have been 7-1] gillingham 4 rovers 1 And heres a list of the similar thrashings since we signed craig 1] ? 2] ? there are none actually Yes, but has our Away form improved or are we happy with 1-0 , 2-0 away defeats ? Do you know we've had 13 away defeats ( second highest this season) .Until we become hard to beat we are miles from the top 6.

I'd move heaven and earth to find a club for Nichols, as he's just not up to our standard, I'd also signed an experienced player to replace Gaffney. Plus try and move on Smith who looks like the typical average gaolie we had prior to Mildenhall, is there any prospects of re-signing Lumley?
As far as Craig, SteveK suggests its lack of goals costing us points but whenever we score we still concede, yesterday being a prime example, surely at home against a poor team our defence could keep a clean sheet for 5 minutes? At Plymouth we gifted them 2 pens. The list goes on. For me Locks and Craig doesn't work as a partnership to get us into the top 6. Before Craig arrived we'd let in just 5 goals in the previous 7 games so he can't really take all the credit for our defence improving post January.

That would certainly make for an exciting summer !! I'll be very interested to see the retained list. I'd hope we look to sign Telford maybe not as an automatic starter but to me he looks a natural finisher, some players just have that knack of being in the right place at the right time. The only reason I put undecided about Telford is because I haven't seen enough of him to make a firm judgement, but what I have seen has been positive. He always looks lively and a good finisher, his goals for the first team have been impressive and his record in the development squad speaks for itself. DC has seen him on a day to day basis and he'll know whether or not its worth making him an offer. It's certainly going to be an exciting summer with a number of players out of contract in our squad and loads of quality players available on frees across Europe. Bring it on! So you're undecided about Telford who's been here for 9 months, because you haven't seen enough of him, yet you put forward 100's of players who you haven't seen play live... Strange.

I think maybe Broadbent and Mayenese as centre backs with Craig playing as left back next year. Maybe Craig was always destined to be the Browner replacement?

It isnt strange at all, I've seen them at least 3 or 4 times in 90 minutes games, but with Telford I haven't. What is strange is you leaving yesterday's game early and missing both goals and Lee Browns send off. Very strange indeed!

I don't know who is out of contract this summer but moving on fringe players who have another year or more on their contract wont be easy.
Nobody is going to give us money for Nichols for example. So goes DC give him another chance or loan him out and try to get as much of his wage covered as possible?
I also have a sneaky feeling that Telford will be back next season and maybe DC is not playing him so much on purpose as I am sure that would have raised interest from many other teams?
As for Lockyer, I would prefer to see him play at right back. Its where he used to play and I think he would do a better job there than any of the current players in that position.

Wow!! Good on you, how do you have the time? Serious question. You think someone leaving a football game early is strange? Think you need to get out more, oh yeah you do. You travel all over the world watching these players live

You travel all over the world watching these players live I enjoy watching football at all levels, particularly lower league stuff, it might be sad to some, but it's how I choose to spend my time. I don't need to travel the world to watch them live, it's 2018 and games are streamed live on a number of platforms. And yes I do think it is strange that you left the last home game early, missing both goals, and not bothering to clap Browner off at the end. Very strange.

So you have watched these 100's of players "not live" for the whole 90 mins, 3 or 4 times..? Your work & partner must be very understanding? When the camera isn't on the player you put forward, how do you know what he's doing? Position wise, how can you possibly keep an eye on said player for 90 mins when the camera isn't on him?

You were having a go at the poster ~ poor form sir No, I was simply asking how he can possibly watch 100's of players,most being non league, when their games aren't even shown. Please show me where I had a go at him. If you can't an apology will suffice.

A lot of the lower non-league ones I haven't seen in full matches, but then I'm not saying sign them, but rather scout them further or give them a trial. You don't have to even see some players at all to know they are worth a trial, ask Eddie Howe, who offered Charlie Austin a trial after reading about him in his local paper! Edit: For the record, 99% of the foreign ones mentioned I have seen in 90 minutes matches, not the lower non-league ones.

Apologise for lying, saying I had a go at him.
