Problem is, he may be younger, but nothing else. I get we all love Sinclair... but do you honestly think Ogogo isn't an upgrade? I've seen nothing from Ogogo yet that says he's better than Sinclair. No better, no worse.

If we are to move forward, GC will have to get rid of at least 1 striker.
Reilly, Payne & Nichols I fear aren't good enough.
Nichols & Reilly are good as back up, but we need a 1st team striker to accompany JCH

Lack of class shown in the abrupt mention of Lockyer's, Sinclair's and Lines' departures. On the BCFC site they gave details of departing players and gave fulsome thanks for their contributions over their times at the club. Basically all we've done is said thanks and goodbye.

Getting Payne out the club would be as good as a new signing, bad for morale and ties up part of budget than could be better used. Trouble is I think he will hold out for a pay-off before he moves. How we ever agreed to pay £200k for him I'll never know and he will probably cost the same again in wages and pay-off before he's gone. Messes up a big part of CG budget for next year.

We’ve lost our heartbeat! Bristol Rovers are dead! 😜 No the club has had many near death experiences and pulled though...loved Sinc and Linsey but neither would have feature much next season so best to let them move on with thanks and best wishes and give em a chance to play regularly even if it's at a level below.

Forest green are going to have a half decent squad next season now then. I might get a season ticket up there. I hear it comes in a hessian wallet.

I assume this means Sercombe is under contract for next season? It seems he, Rodman and Craig have automatically triggered one-year extensions based on appearances - which IMO is great news on all fronts!

Absolutely vital that we get rid of Payne and Bennett somehow ...I sense both are toxic in and around the first team squad. Maybe Swindon take Bennett but I sense we are stuck with Payne .. maybe JCH might sort him out? I guess I’m on my own when I say I would stick with Mensah... never really given a proper shot with DC... 3month contract show us what you can do ?If Mensah has "returned" rather than been "released" I'm pretty certain he's still under contract, what's a bit odd is GC says he's looking for pace and height and Mensah seemed to have both of those attributes.

Oh please, I can think of at least five worse keepers than Smith in the last few years. His technical side is good, his mental attributes are what haven't been up to par. I think he's good enough for backup, only real issue would be a wage reduction. Nope absolute clown and a liability. Agree with GC's decision to get rid asap. Couldn't agree more. He was at the top of my list to get rid. He's immature and has extremely poor decision making, no wonder our defence was completely sh*t with him in goal most of last season. God knows how he got into the PFA team of the year for L2 in the 15/16 season.

The retention of TP seemed to surprise a few but has the ability to play right back or defensive midfield (I felt he was very effective in the latter position and could challenge Upson for that position. I certainly hope we hold on to Kyle I think he is quick and creative, and we definitely need a quality keeper, obviously everyone wants the guy who did so well for us last season.

Lack of class shown in the abrupt mention of Lockyer's, Sinclair's and Lines' departures. On the BCFC site they gave details of departing players and gave fulsome thanks for their contributions over their times at the club. Basically all we've done is said thanks and goodbye. Club is a real disgrace atm

Club is a real disgrace atm That's quite a conclusion to jump to when we've no idea how it was handled in person, which let's face it is far more important than a little article on the website.

I think it’s a little bit shabby the other 3 lads involved in our double promotion get a nice video thank you while Daniel Leadbitter gets a photo! I know you’re going to say he didn’t score or make snide remarks about his crossing but he did some good things in 5 years and always gave his best covering more ground than most Similar to Chris Lines in treatment it seems a sad way for him to exit never once given a chance under GC when fit and then not even given parity with the other long serving lads Just a thought

I presume you mean Joe P. If so I agree. If not, then we’ve started our recruitment early! UTG!
