Maybe but he’s still under contract. One of joeys strangest few weeks. And he’s had a few. I can't understand what went on with TC, surely if he's good enough for a top 2 side in Ireland he's good to play for Rovers? If he stays at Shamrock he'll probably be playing Champions League football next season. Maybe his attitude didn’t fit with the other players, personally prefer Gordon over him any day of the week. |

Strange that Joey didn't offer Anderson a deal,because of his injury record, but is giving Sick note Grant a contract.

He did on reduced terms and Anderson rejected them… he has said to Anderson about coming back in the summer and if he can prove fitness etc then there could be potential for better terms |

Doesn’t have to accept a short term or pay as you play deal. Grant not gonna be getting much interest and we may as well give him one last go. |

Also you love guess work ……, To be fair Barton worked with Clarke for a whole season before they offered him a new deal, and that was after the stupid sending off v Colchester. I personally liked Clarke, he will actually run at defenders and get crosses in, unlike Gordon who seems to hit an invisible line and turn and go sideways or backwards. Actually thinking about it id prefer Clarkes defending too, although Gordon definitely has potential. |

Agreed that’s the downside of Gordon’s game , he seems scared to go into the last third of the pitch . Might just be he’s following orders but id love to see him overlap a few times . |

I feel that Gordon looks neat and tidy on the ball but very rarely takes on the full back and tends to back off a lot when defending. Hoole and Gibbons sems to have license to overlap on the right (although apart from Burton @ home ive not seen it from Gibbons as much) so I dont know why Gordon cant do the same |

Your job is to defend first & foremost. Maybe next season he’ll get his pro license and can encroach into the opposition half ?! |

Was definitely the case with Gordon in the first half of the season, but then he had a break and came back much improved, I though. |
