Genuine question and I don't know the answer. How many of the countless triallists we've had over the years have actually ended up signing? Billy Bodin. Enough said.

At the moment Rovers have more goalkeeping coaches than goalkeepers ! I assume he is talking about one of the preseason games where two are being played the same time ? Maybe tomorrows announcement of Lumley signing will answer the "one other" question ?Hope that happens. Really do.

"Thank you" (to me saying good luck)
That's the end..
Some pretty good messages, I think.
Who do you think the new GK is? Another trialist/youngster?

"Yes I will play. We've only got me & one other."

Liam Sercombe looks like a nice addition, but how many more do we really need?
I think:
2/3x goalkeepers 2x Full backs 2x Centre backs 1x Central Midfielder (Our midfielders are great especially with Sercombe coming in, but I think we need a bit of youth in there too) 1x Right Mid/Right Wing 2x Left Mids/Left Wingers 2x Strikers (3x if Luke James is one of them)
Therefore, I'm saying 12/13. How about you?

..possibly. In the interview with him when he signed, the person questioning him said there was an option to buy him after the loan, which, I'm guessing would be a cut price than if anyone else wanted him. So surely a take it or leave it. With reports that we've signed him and the owner confirming that a bid has been accepted for him, & now its down to personal terms, surely it's us? He was spotted in Bristol yesterday, too..Wait, I dont understand.. Why did we not just trigger the signing bid? We made a bid lower than the one in the contract so why didn't we just take the offer since now we've expressed interest they'll be looking for as much money as possible.

I'd give 110% for the shirt, it doesn't mean that I'm capable of playing Div 1 football. Bar a couple bid decent games after MT left he just never looked like scoring, or even getting in goalscoring positions. I'm not having a go at people who don't think he is good enough, it is the ones who are constantly repeating themselves and with the constant water taking to go with it. I think he deserves more respect than that. When you think of all the lazy journeyman we have had over the years who are just here to rinse the club as much as they can, I just don't think he deserves to be spoke about with the same amount of disrespect as those people do. Agreed 👍

Why would Gaffney have to leave in order to sign Lambert? - I am not sure I understand that bit As both can't play as CF? One can be a back-up for one another.

Ngl, I can see him coming to the Gas this summer. Last few years of his career, dropping down the leagues - why not take a little pay cut & come back to the club that made you the person you are, and end your career on a high? Hope DC accepts the history of the club, and sees something in Lambert. He'd score quite a few goals, despite his age, at this level imo If we suddenly get news of Rory Gaffney leaving then it might be on the cards.Unless he see's RL as the old head to replace JE. ? Gaffney wont leave, he's only just signed a contract this month. If he were to leave, (and that would be VERY shocking) then I'd 100% want Lambert over James.

Lambert would be a good experience head to have in our side as long as we can bring in someone up and coming who has been stick the ball in the net. Ngl, I can see him coming to the Gas this summer.

God, please..
