Martin Allen has left Barnet only 10 miles to Loftus Road Hasn't Mad Dog failed at every club apart from Barent in the last 5 or so years, I'd be surprised if any league club offered him a job, although Phil Brown's just got the Swindon job so anything is possible.

"According to the BRFC news Twitter feed D.C. has been approached by QPR"
Maybe Lumley is wanting a move to the mighty Gas?!

Plymouth Interested in Danny Leadbetter They are free to have him if he doesn’t want to stay with us. He can be alright on his day but most of the time he’s been poor these last two seasons and his crossing is dreadful, both Partington and Clarke are better defensively too which can make him a bit of a liability at times. I like the lad and his pace can come in useful but for me there’s just better players out there.

Leadbitter one of the best performers at The Rovers in the last 2 seasons. is this another case of turning on a player when he has injury problems ??

Yes, I know he had injuries which may have affected him and I wouldn’t mind keeping him for another year as backup to Partington but there is no way you can call him one of the best performers, if anything his performances have dropped from our season in league two. Partington is just better in my opinion.

Leadbitter one of the best performers at The Rovers in the last 2 seasons. is this another case of turning on a player when he has injury problems ?? I agree with him to a certain extent. He has good pace, but his final ball does need improving and last season he helped contribute to a defence that conceded the same amount or more goals than three relegated sides. This season we conceded 37 goals from the 22 games he played in. I'm not saying those goals are all his fault, but he was part of the defence and his individual defending does need improvement. I don't mind if he stays because we could do a lot worse, but at the same time there are better players out there that we could potentially attract, like axegas intimated.

One of the reasons i watch football is because of players like danny leadbitter,love his surging forward runs and he usually draws 2 players out wide to deal with him. Hes not the best defender in truth but he is better than partington or james clarke who simply cant cope against decent wide players.

Sadly thats true,my own theory is that the contract dc offered him is modest because of those injuries which if true makes sense.

Like Leadbitter as a player, by far our best fullback, but if we can’t get more than 20 games out of him each season we need to start looking elsewhere (someone posted his career stats on the James Clarke new contract thread and I think it showed he doesn’t average more than 20 or so games a season which is remarkable).

Hes not the best defender in truth but he is better than partington or james clarke who simply cant cope against decent wide players. This season: Danny Leadbitter at RB: 32 goals conceded from 17 games. On average 1.88 goals conceded per game. Joe Partington at RB: 32 goals conceded from 23 games. On average 1.39 goals conceded per game. James Clarke as RB: 7 goals conceded from 7 games. On average 1 goal conceded per game. Still think Leadbitter is a better option defensively than Partington and Clarke? On top of this, Partington scored 3 goals and made 2 assists this year whilst Leadbitter scored no goals and made 1 assist. Some of the balls that Parts put in at times were brilliant. Shame about his injury. Partington would be my first choice on the basis of this and what I have seen from all three fullbacks this season. In tougher games we could go with James Clarke to shore things up defensively. I do get what people say about Leadbitter being more exciting to watch and I would definitely keep him around as backup and try to bring the best out of him again but from an attacking and defensive standpoint, the others have been better this year.

The stats don't take into consideration the impact Craig's had since he arrived? Although those stats suggest we're stronger in defence when JC plays which is a bit surprising.

Stats are useful however they are never true indicators of ability as many things can affect them which is why I also partly based my judgement on what I had seen from all three in the last couple of years. I will concede that Partington and Clarke do get caught on the turn every now and again against the quicker wingers of the division however they do the basics of defending right which is not something I can say about Leadbitter. It was his mistake that led to Slocombe getting sent off against Walsall, you'll rarely find Partington or Clarke being caught out in possession like that. It's not that surprising that Clarke is the best defensively out of the three for me, being a reliable defender is the main strength in his game and his return at the end of the seasn coincided with solid home draws against Blackburn, Wigan and Charlton and a decent clean sheet away at Southend.

I think Leads lost a bit of pace this year, probably due to injuries, if he can't get it back Partington and Clarke are better.

Still think Leadbitter is a better option defensively than Partington and Clarke? Other factors come into play though: - who were the opposition for those respective games? - did they come for 3 or 1 point/s? - how did our midfield/attack play? - who else played in the back 4/3? Having said that if all 3 were fit my order of preference would be 1.Partington 2. Leadbitter 3.Clarke

Plymouth Interested in Danny Leadbetter Let him go. I don't know what DC sees in him. Injury prone and a poor crosser.
