Yes, if people keep bringing it up on every thread then complain about it later.... Unless you meant to add a smiley to make it an amusing aside, in which case, I would have chuckled.

It was meant as a joke :-)
But then again i'm not a comedian. Glad to see Harold go, he has had his injury woes and i would rather give someone else a chance. As for scapeoats pick one of Parkes, Clarke or Higgs

Totally disagree, we are replacing players proven to have not been good enough to keep us in the league with playets that are umproven. That gives me more not less confidence. Harold is a very poor player and we can do much better Totally disagree. Harrold is an adequate lg2 player in a poor side that failed to create the openings that he needed. Not just Harrold btw. Funny how you think we are getting rid of poor players....they are moving UP not down!

Gillespie was fat and sh**, Broghammer and Woodards crocked who have i missed? We have kept our good defence intact and are completely re-jigging the worst attack and midfield we have ever seen in the clubs history. Fair play to DC

Dinsdale, the first bit is a little harsh but most likely true, the second part is spot on! second thoughts the first part is pretty good also.

I agree with the decisions made on last years team, very nervous about the quality of what we have brought in but thats more to do with my own lack of knowledge about the last two players and the injury record of the first then anything else.

I'm not upset to see Harold leave as long as we don't sell Brunt.
We might actually start to play the ball on the ground rather than constantly hoofing it up to Harold.

We had wingers in Harrolds best season for us.
Sometimes I wonder why it was all Harrolds fault, then I remember it was because of everything.
That will be all.

I dont believe its all his fault but i believe last season he contributed very little and is on far too much money for this level. None of our attacking players were anywhere near good enough last season. I base that on goals and assists. We are best off replacing the entire attaking side of the club.

I don't see any released players moving down the leagues. If that makes them bad or not good enough then I've heard it all. Our so called decent defence looked rank amateur much of the time. Mildy and Smith being our consistent decent players imo. Harrold and the others? Well I believe DC was too good for us. Eliot needed a new club but a talented kid. Harrold never got the service that he needs ie a winger getting to the goal line and Beardo for all the puff was never going to score enough. Macca, Parkes, LB, far too much long ball for me sorry.
I maintain, it's not players we need, it's a culture. We are a rudderless shambles without an identity.

Will not be sad to see him gone. No great loss.

I mostly agree with you, but you must admit that our defense would have looked a lot better with 5 better players in front of them. We were so utterly sh** up front all year so given that I think our defense did much better than could be expected. I honestly don't know what you expect of L2 defenders, but I think we let in less than many higher placed teams. What relegated us was our inability to score. I think we had a play off defense and a relegation attack.

Nearly every side in lg 2 last season were lacking in the goal scoring target man position,Matt Harrold will score goals in lg 2 if he gets the right service and I wouldn't be surprised if quite a few clubs were taking an interest in him,because let's face it there didn't seem to be many of his type out there,well none that we could find that were willing to come here anyway.League 1 player? Very doubtful imo.

I think we had a play off defense and a relegation attack. It's hard to argue that because stats back it up. I judge what I see and that was able players. Players that would slot into most other teams no problem. For one reason or another though we have an imbedded problem at brfc. We are so disoriented and messy. Too many managerial and player changes in too short a time. No soul, no spirit, no relationship between supporters and players. The last of those was probably big Steve. I can't see that many of our playing staff over the past few years cared at all for the shirt? That's not right but it has been allowed and become normal. The performance of other attacking players in other squads would have largely outshone our but those players are technically no better. They are at their natural level usually, bar a few. We have had a problem for years.

Lol. The nagging this is....how do we get out of the rut? We have done managers, big name players, sell out crowds, motivation visits by ex players and 50s legends. We ARE a big fish from a big city with plenty of resource and depth. Why can't we compete and out perform some of these flimsy, smaller teams?
There is something wrong with the club lifestream imo.
Sorry to go off topic but imo signings alone won't help us. I believe that if we transferred the lg2 champs squad to us at the beginning of last year, we still wouldn't have won it. There's more to it than players.
