Pitman is better than Akinfenwa who I think is now 40? He is currently in contract negotiations with Wycombe

Made a mistake when we let Ryan Broom go I watched him for come on against Millwall and could see he had a decent future Daly is similar there are worse players such as Barrett in the side that I would have liked to see go first.Problem is other teams are unlikely to be interested in him. The problem is Barrett is under contract, so what the club has to do is make them all available for free transfer, tell the players they arent part of the plans going forward and to find new clubs. Now it could be like Daly, he wants to play pro football, so is happy to tear up his own contract knowing he will get a similar contract somewhere else, have another club take over the contract he is on at Rovers, or be like Kyle Bennett and happy to suck up some cash, do nothing, and maybe get the occassional loan until his contract expires. IIRC, when we let Broom go, we had a plethora of seasoned experienced midfielders that he couldnt dislodge for a first team place and dropped into the league below with Cheltenham. At the time there was Lines, Mansell, Clarke, Sinclair, Sercombe, and Upson. That could have gone one of 2 ways, but it worked out for him. Perhaps we should have kept him, but its worth remembering the summer we released him was the season DC lost the plot, then GC had to firefight and brought in Abu Ogogo as well. I'm not sure if it would have done him any good to stay. As pointed out Broom was a wide player and would not have played in the position taken up by the central midfielders detailed above

It’s a shame if he is injury prone because he’s clearly a good poacher and showed that for us when he wasn’t injured last season. 4 league goals in not that many minutes ( probably around a goal every 180 minutes I reckon ?) if he can stay clear of injuries next season then I reckon he’ll get a decent amount of goals for them. Thing is there’s been many a good good footballer that didn’t make it because of injuries and if our back room staff have decided that he’s not worth the risk and need to let him go in order to bring another striker that they want in then as supporters we have to accept that they’re on the inside and probably know more than we do on the outside. Good luck to him though I liked his energy and determination , two attributes that most of our squad last season were lacking.

I presume you mean Pitman now. Pitman in his prime would be a different matter, surely? We can only dream of a striker like that! UTG! Ummm ... how would it be possible to have Pitman any other way than now? Surely, according to the laws of physics, it's too late to have Pitman before now? Thank you for stating the obvious.😉 You are of course right but even now put the ball in the box and Pitman would score, I’m not sure we had any strikers you could say that about last season. UTG!
