Ollie clarke,stuart sinclair and chris lines have all done really well for the club. But for me all 3 should be released at the end of the season.

Where do you expect us to be? At the other end of the table pushing for at least a play off place. On what basis? Do we have the ability to attract the players required, infrastructure, budget, quality of manager...? I think that's unrealistic and that we are probably a yo-yo League 1 - League 2 club now.

IMO Sinclair was a super player when we were in the conference and division 2, he is now a casualty and I would let him go asap; it shows how far BRFC have slipped if we are talking about Ollie Clarke as if he is that important to our survival ffs the reason he has been subbed twice recently is because he has been awful, first choice central pairing for me for the remainder of the season would be Aggogo and Liam Sercombe, sorry Sincs and OC possess very little creativity which equals not a lot happening in the way of chances for the forwards. Even though LS was our worse CM on Tuesday and can't tackle to save his life, our next 3 games will be battles which we need to win in midfield. So it's OC or Sincs next to Agogo all day long for me, possibly Lines once he gets fully fit.

No way would I get rid of Ollie, as long as he doesn’t have any underlying injury problem. He has struggled with injuries over the last 2 seasons and very clearly has played through them at times, which probably hadn’t done him much good. When he’s 100% he’s our best midfielder, in my opinion. You may well be right about the other two, unfortunately. Great servants to the club but now might be the time as they are not getting many minutes under GC.

Harsh in O.Clarke he has done well this season (albeit is a very form based player, either get a 8/9 out of ten performance or a 2/3), and presence in the dressing room shouldn’t be underestimated. Wouldn’t imagine Sinclair is on a huge wage and would be worth keeping as cover across the midfield, as well as his work ethic, personality and community work. Many benefits to keeping Sincs at the club post playing career as well imo. Lines however I would let go, probably a big earner and well past his sell by date.

I think we will see quite a few go in the summer. My own list would be considerable but next season I hope we have a smaller squad but more quality. There are lots of good players out there. I would also try and recruit players from Up North, they seem a bit harder. And I would look at those that have been released by Championship Clubs. "Recruit players from up north, they seem a bit harder" what a ridiculously stereotypical comment. Look at the current tables

Im a big fan of sinclair i just feel his rovers career has run its course,same with lines although he was never my favourite player,he showed his quality often enough. For me ollie is like you said way to inconsistent and he gives the ball away far too often.

Neither good enough for League 1. We need better. How do you work that one out? Both have contributed a lot IN LEAGUE 1 over the last few seasons.
Therefore both have contributed to us being in the relegation places

Truth is both Clarkes, Sinclair, Partington, Bennett, Mensah, Lines, and Payne can be replaced with better players. The love of Sinclair is comparable to the love of Holloway. Rovers fans love a headless chicken 1980's style player in their team. time for something better, and I believe next season we will see it.

He played in a team good enough to finish 6th in the Premier League! Sinclair isn't as good as Holloway was, I'll grant you, but he is easily good enough for League 1. I don't think you'll be happy until Zidane, Scholes and Iniesta come out of retirement to put the quarters on! We're Bristol Rovers. We don't have massive amounts of money, we have crap facilities and we are arguably punching above our weight in this league. Let's be realistic and perhaps a bit more appreciative of the likes of the Clarkes, Lines, Sinclair etc who have taken us to this level.

Ollie Clarke every time for me, Sincs has a squad role and good in a 5 in my opinion or negative midfield without wingers.

I don't particularly rate him as a mgr now, or partly as a person, but as a player at Rovers I'll give you two versions of a response - choose which you prefer. 1 - normal approach - hahahaha hahahaha. 2 - Evidencial approach - I've had some good talks with Andy Reece. He said Ollie was the best player he ever played with & did almost everything on the pitch as well. That's not being a headless chicken, that's being bloody good AND also fitter & more committed than most.

Ollie became a more defensively minded player at QPR but that was because of the level he was then playing at. He wouldn’t have got to that level without having technical proficiency, though. For us he really made us tick and was good on the ball. Reece was more of an enforcer, though Ollie obviously did that side of the game too. None of that side shirked a 50/50, mind!

It’s alright saying that but all three have held their own in league 1 and we haven’t got a big budget for this division. Better the devil you know in that respect. If we shipped all three out at the same time and tried to replace them for the same money could we actually find better ? Maybe but I think it would be a risk. All three are Rovers through and through and three other players of equal ability/ same sort of cost probably wouldn’t improve our midfield . I do think we really need to find a young ball player to take over from Chris lines though. We’ve missed him this season as over the last four seasons he’s been our top assists player. Sinclair is being gradually faided out but I think should stay at the club even after he retires and olly Clarke is a decent league 1 midfielder who has our club in his veins.
