Newmarket yes the ref didn't give their bloke a yellow card in the second half for kicking the ball away but he was off the pitch and back heeled and Clarke smashed it right in front of the ref on the pitch. Again, the opposition player did it time wasting where as Clarke did it at the refs decision. But let's talk about the ref shall we instead of the crime which we all know if you don't do it you won't get punished? Re the Corona comments, I've met a lot of you on here, who is RoverDrive and LordJustice again? A central midfielder not being aloud to tackle after the 20th minute is a bit like asking a striker not to shoot for the rest of the game as well. My names Chris but everyone calls me Linesy. Beer? I normally go for one after the match whatever the result. You're one of our own !

I went with an open mind Saturday when I saw Ollie on the team sheet because he has a good shot in his locker and we were not facing premier league opposition. I also went with the hope he could change my opinion of him as a player.................what I saw was a player struggling for 20 minutes who got so frustrated that he kicked the ball away and for the next 70 mins we saw a passenger on the pitch. I'm sure Ollie isn't paid brilliantly, he's loyal and he gives his all for us, a good squad player but in his position we have another 2 like him. Mansell and Lawrence are also squad type players and DC trusted Ollie to give him a chance and he ruined it Saturday. I hope he learns from this but right now we don't need a rookie in the team in Div1 in my opinion. All decent points IMO

Ollie Clarke would have been ok had we not got 2 promotions.
Conference fodder imo.

Agree with Roadman. We got away with it first half as we played well but second half the midfield were unable to assert themselves and in the end the pressure told.
I wanted OC off at HT but with injuries we didn't have anyone else to put in there. That's why for me a CM has to be the number one priority. If Sinclair struggles with injuries again that only leaves us with three.

He, like Gosling, have benefitted the most from the promise of being offered new contracts with promotions. Both not good enough imo, far better out there for free.

So after just one narrow away defeat, to probable Play Off contenders, posters have already written off Mildenhall & Clarke has good enough, it also looks like Sinclair is tittering on the blink unless he puts in a MotM performance soon! Probably Lawrence's best bet is stay out injured as long as possible, as he'll no doubt join them as soon as he plays his first game!

I would say Mildy's cv proves he can play at Div1 but age isn't on his side and even his manager has questioned his ability and likely to bring in another keeper 😉 I don't think there is any Div1 side who would take Ollie off us and I don't believe any of the top 7 would have last season either to make him a regular starter. He's benefited from the contract offer from promotion, he choose to stay and Parkes choose to leave, that's the difference. Considering Trollope never offered Disley a new deal before he was 30, went onto get in the play offs with Shrewsbury and captained Grimsby back into the league, when Disley was bombed he was a much better all round player than Ollie Clarke and better than he ever will be, in the air, tackling and scoring goals.

Never rated Ollie Clarke to be honest, I do like him but just don't think he is good enough. We had too many players in the team Saturday that work hard but lack quality. I know you're a big fan of Leadbitter, as am I but din't you think he looked a little lacking in confidence on Saturday?

He did choose to stay and he's ended up (maybe through luck) starting our first game in league 1 to be fair. Think Parkesy's drink drive charge may have had something to do with him leaving..(edit: as ggmi points out, no it wasnt) But do agree with your overall points.

As far as Parkes is concerned they were clearly issues with him when DC stripped him of the captaincy when he took over from JW, perhaps he saw the drink issues coming up hence that's why Parkes managed to get a contract offer better elsewhere.
I doubt any Rovers fan is going to say OC is a decent Div 1 player but what good does starting thread slagging our young players off after just one game/mistake, can anybody answer that as it's a mystery to me??

Not if you played for them ! You don't know what will happen because the Ref chooses to either book you, or if them, ignore it. 50/50 at best what will happen. I am not saying it's the best idea but it really is not a 100% booking as suggested.
Well you have 3 officials out there so the chances are that someone is going to see it. I don't think its at the referees discretion as to whether they book players for it or not, or else that is a massive inconsistency.
The sensible thing is surely to not give them an opportunity to book you in the first place.
I played district football for 12 years and never kicked the ball away during a game, even though I was more likely to get away with it than the pro's.
in the district league you might get away with it because the ref would think you were trying to kick the ball back to the opponents

Same person was critcising Taylor, Sinclair, DC etc s After the first game of last season saying they weren't league standard...

Some things never change with our forums, we've now got a poster saying "we are slagging off one of our younger players"................for the ones who can put up with comments like that enjoy posting on here as you have.
I'm back off to my WhatsApp group where 10 of us post all Rovers stuff and you are allowed to criticise and question a player kicking the ball away and playing a major part in causing us a defeat. I remember the old forums where Jason Roberts and Rickie Lambert were questioned or as one bloke on here states "slagged off" and both were supported at games and had the mental strength to prove themselves.
Over and out
