You could question the signing of Junior Brown, Leon Clarke, Jon Nolan, Brett Pitman, Mark Hughes, we did not get much value from them. in fairness, clarke and pitman scored some vital goals between them, brown filled a gap when we were desperate, nolan was a chance signing that sometimes works and sometimes doesnt (billy bodin). For me, hughes was the one real disappointment. Had all the credentials, made a poor start, got injured then buggered off at the first opportunity Hughes leaving when he did surely did us a favour as it got him off the wage bill, if he hadn't left when he did he'd have probably just sat on the bench for the remainder of the season.

Was glad to see the back of him. Was just pointing out that of the players mention he was my only real dissapointment

In any case, if Joey Barton can attract the likes of Taylor, Connoly, Whelan, Evans and the Geordie Maradona when we're in League 2, then it bodes well for who he can bring in a level above. His recruitment has been superb. You could question the signing of Junior Brown, Leon Clarke, Jon Nolan, Brett Pitman, Mark Hughes, we did not get much value from them. He also signed Belshaw, Finley, Coutts, Harry Anderson and Aaron Collins. Leon Clarke & Pitman scored some crucial goals. 10 great singings, and at a push 3 not so good ones, is cracking recruitment in my eyes

On balance JBs signings were ok, with some excellent loans. But League 2 last year, top few teams apart, was poor. Few footballing sides and we struggled before November. Moving up to League 1 where the quality will be much higher will need a step up in what JB recruits. I’m sure he’ll be the right manager to do that well. But, as ever, time will tell. I hope Evans signs as I’m sure he’ll do ok in League 1 but if he doesn’t then I’m sure JB will replace with equally as good. Mustn’t let our recruitment be dictated by one player as it was in 2013 and James Constable. We all know where that leads.
UTG!

One thing i liked Hughes’s for was his penalties, i still have a habit of looking away now but i never did when he or RL used to take them. Hughes was his own worst enemy as , as you say, he buggers off, to Eastleigh if i remember rightly, for the money and his career has nosedived since. Act in haste, repent at leisure

He went to Plymouth as coach… Both wrong, Notts county, Fleetwood, Cambridge then Tranmere ( twice), now playing for Irish side Larne. I never knew he was Oirish en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Hughes_(footballer)

Think you’ve got crossed wires there… They’ve been talking about Mark Hughes, the defender we started the season with and allowed to leave to join Plymouth in a coaching capacity.

''all players that leave us say the same they love playing for rovers'' I got stuck at Max (spit) Ehmer. Stefan Payne! That guy really made a dogs dangly bits out of his “career” just goes to show that it’s never a good idea to slag off your previous employers.

Having little or no talent for the job he'd chosen as a career probably helped too.

Could Evans get squeezed in at the end?
