Shame, not sure it was the right move to bring him straight out of the team unless a move is imminent. That being said, neither Mildy or Puddy have shown themselves to be a top L2 goalkeeper in recent times and I think we need to strengthen there. If Mildy's wages allow for that plus strengthening elsewhere, then fair enough. Puddy's not shown anything at Div 2 level when he's never played at this level, although he's good enough as back up. |

Sorry, I was saying that from the viewpoint of him being a bit shaky at Conference level at times, obviously we've not seen him in the League. I think against higher level opposition he'd struggle though - competent back-up as you say. |

DC announced on radio Bristol that he has released Mildenhall and he is now looking for a new number 1.If he was going to do that this early in the season why not do a deal close season to give him time to find a new club and Rovers time to find a new keeper,bloody shambles.Looks also like Puddy will be out the door soon as well

That is odd. Most clubs will have their keepers sorted now so I feel a bit for Mildy, even though he's gone downhill over the last few months I think he deserved more than that for a send-off. I can't see Puddy going, we need a back-up keeper and you won't get much better than him as back-up at L2 level. |

Hmm perhaps, I think Preston needs games though, which he won't get sat on the bench here.

He has just repeated what he said earlier. He has told Mildy he is looking for a new number one and left the ball in Mildys court. He is welcome to stay to fight for his place. |

It's either genius or incompetence from DC, with quite literally no middle ground. It's either going to inspire Mildy to win back the place or we should have said bye in the summer.
The only reason to allow all this to happen at the end of August and not the end of May is off-field issues or bad planning....can't think of any others, because no one will want to pay the wages of a newly promoted Conference keeper who couldn't get into the team at the end of the promotion-winning season unless they're seriously desperate...
I for one hope he can win his place back, but only on DC's terms (ie be up to the job).

So easy to criticise.
I had high hopes Mildy could get his form back. I'm sure DC did too. I'm sure it was his plan to start him this season and he probably did well in training in pre-season but you just don't know until the serious games start. He didn't convince in either of the first two games and also didn't exude confidence, which can be fatal in a working relationship with a defence. DC, on the evidence of those two games has made a big decision. I think it's quite ballsy but if he can get him out either on a permanent deal or on a season long loan, I think it will prove to be good business for the club as he is one of the highest earners and appears to be past his best.

I for one hope he can win his place back, but only on DC's terms (ie be up to the job). Surely the incompetence rests at NH/JW's door as they signed an ageing goalie on a 3 year contract when clearly 2 years was more than enough. Given the choice DC would have no doubt released him in the summer but had no choice than to give him a chance their season when his his contract extension clicked, probably around the time he was injured then lost his form! I can't see any of us don't agree with DC that Mildenhall no longer seems up to being our No 1. Problem now is who wants to take a well paid ageing lacking form off our hands? |

I may be mis-remembering this, but didn't DC trigger the extra year on the contract by bringing him on at Wembley for the penalty shoot out? (Some kind of appearance-based clause)? |

Got to be NH fault it always is when things go wrong, if he fights for his place and gets us promoted it will have been genius from DC to trigger the clause.

I thought Aaron Chapman looked good today. Not over-worked, I know, but all his kicking was good and he made a fabulous reflex save at the start of second half.
He's a big bugger too.
