I think he's too nice for his own good. He's got the physical tools to be a handful but he doesn't seem to want to bully defenders or even under their skin. Harrison, Taylor, and Easter all have weaknesses, but none of them are afraid to leave a foot in or try and put the defenders off. I can't imagine Blissett giving a CB abuse at a set piece.

I would have brought Lines on and Bodin up front alongside Easter. This! a few round our section were of the opinion that Bliss should have come on much earlier once we saw just how physically small the Notts County defence were. Its all very well saying that he didnt do much when he was on but that was his first 15 minutes in over a month and I am not sure if it has been commented on but Nicholls distribution is first class and he more often finds his man from the free kicks. If he had aimed a few more at Bliss it may have been so different

I doubt Nicholls would deliberately not aim to find Blisset if he thought he had a better chance of winning the ball?

People look at his build ( tall ) and call him a target man. Most of our fans and certainly mc ghee Ward and Buckle saw Harrold as a target man too and he wasn't. It's as much about mentality as it is about build. We went down hoofing it at Harrolds head and if we use bliss too often and hoof it at him we'll end up in trouble again

He was deemed useless. He is twice the player of Bliss though.

Haha Blissett isn't good enough we all know that
It's a shame, because he's such a nice guy, it's shame he was wrongly flagged offside when 1 on 1 at Wembley!
But what does he offer? There are a lot of huge players who are useless technically but because they are so tall they are great in the air and therefore get played alongside a smaller, more technical striker(E.g. Taylor) But he offers neither, he's 6ft5 and can't win a header, he either jumps too early or too late! He only scored once after Christmas, he's just not what we need.
I hope he does well because he's got such a nice personality, but I believe if that doesn't happen soon, we should just offload him to free up wages.

For what it's worth he scored three after Christmas.

Exactly my point. If we were sh**e with Harrold up front then Bliss isn't going to be an improvement . I rate Harrison Taylor and Easter and I think they're good enough for this division and although I agree that we need a target man in the squad for a Plan B I don't think Blisset is the answer.

We all come to football for entertainment at the end of the day and Nathan Blisset offers that.

I hope he can get his royal mail job back,Hes an ok player for a part time conference team but he will never be good enough to play league football,i feel sorry that its not worked out for him at Rovers as hes a nice bloke.Lets hope somebody takes him off us as otherwise he will just see his contract out like Mildenhall and we could do with the money to enable us to free up some funds for loan players.Good luck Bliss.

He may not be good enough, but I do feel people have been harsh on the bloke. He's always giving 100%.

I haven't heard anyone say he's not giving 100 % They haven't but whilst on the matter, I'll say it now. There was a ball lumped into him against Notts County and he did not even attempt to win it.

I'm going to stand behind the dug out today and abuse the sh** out of him for 90 minutes. If that doesn't help, at least I'll have done my bit.

This 100% thing... People have different views on this. I know some of you keep your finger on the Sprint button on FIFA but that's not always the best practice... Bliss just isn't very good! There gas been no sign of that changing and the same comments appear after every appearance.

Forum police here. I have just read this thread for the first time (and read from start to finish) so I thought I would correct/answer a few things 1. He scored 2 great goals pre season at Salisbury 2. He did not go on loan to Grimsby (although they wanted him he turned them down twice but opted to go to Tranmere when he was told to go out on loan by DC) 3. Yes he has a poor first touch ( and a poor second touch for that matter) but it is really p1ss poor of any 'Gashead' to boo any player wearing the quarters 4. DC does not rate Lucas either yet so unless we are totally out of other options he is likely to be out on loan for most of the season. 5. I'm sure if DC could offload Bliss and Milders tomorrow he would.

That comment shows how petty you can be. You really do have a downer on Blissett, just a pity you don't mention all the balls lumped into Harrison and Taylor the other night which they did not arttempt to get on the end of!

Mitch Harding gave his all in the quarters, does that mean he should still be with us instead of hairdressing?? If Harrold, Clarkson, Beardsley & Gillespie all struggled in Div 2 how's Blisset going to ever hack it for us?

That's what I'm getting at. No one deserves that while still here. Like I said he may not be good enough, but I see a lot of people putting him down for things other players do as well but don't get called a joke for it.

I'm sorry but I don't see how that is being petty. The bloke was on what about 10-20 minutes and he couldn't even be bothered to attempt to win a header. That is his job and should be what he is best at. If I didn't even attempt to do my job then I would expect to get stick for it. The other strikers have all shown something at times. All Blissett has shown for us so far is how he is never going to make it as a league footballer.
