Ellis' record last year is bound to have sparked some interest. 14 goals, having started only 8 league games plus scoring the most vital goal of our season. Why are we so quick to forget about this? There is clearly ability there and I firmly believe he has it in him to forge a long term league career. As for whether we had offers for him at the end of last season, well I have no idea. Maybe he didn't want to leave? He was on the transfer list after our relegation season and I can understand there being little interest then as he had a year to forget on and off the pitch. So what are you suggesting we play Harrison every week, watch him perform poorly but then go home content after a match where in which haven't scored because he did OK last season? The big question is do we offer him another 2 year contract in the hope he eventually comes good, or release him and then spend similar money on a Gaffney type replacement.

I didn't go yesterday but listened to most of the match on the radio I switched off just after the triple substitution hoping to hear about a brilliant turn around later sadly not! It didn't sound great a lot of mis controlling and misplaced passing pretty painful listening TBH ! hopefully we will put right against Wimbledon next week with a home victory which will set us up nicely for the trip to Pompey. # UTG

Useless? He wasn't that good! Worst Iv'e ever seen in a Rover's shirt in fifty years.Hardly moved and sometimes missed the ball completely. Probably on a par with Andy Spring

a few points from your post.Lots of people,many much older than Ellis say things on the social media which they regret in later life,if that is how you judge him,then you as a Christian are not being very Christian towards a young man just starting out in life. Another point is that in August DC rtejected an offer from a first division club for Ellis. Just because he doesn't do a Sinclair and race around the pitch after the ball does not mean he has a poor attitude,perhaps you are confusing this with playing to orders.If he has a poor attitude as you accuse heaven only knows how many goals he would have scored last season if he had the attitude you want him to have. One of the laziest players I ever saw was probably one of this countries best post war wingers,ie Matthews.He also wasn't a Sinclair,just a Matthews as Ellis is just a Harrison Problem is we're not playing football in the 50's look at how much effort the likes of Giggs out into their game plus Harrison is a striker not a winger in any event. Harrison really should be tearing this division up this season instead of having fans querying is attitude, the fact he had 8 clubs apparently chasing his loan signing and the only two Div 2 teams interested in him were relegation threatened Newport & Hartlepool suggests the footballing world agrees with most of us, in that he's not good enough for a promotion chasing Div 2 side. Do you know who the other 6 teams were

No and I bet you don't either

Gaffney hasn't exactly set the world on fire since he came back,perhaps Cambridge were wiser than us regarding him

No and I bet you don't either Like fans are suggesting we offer Lockyer one now, if we didn't offer him one I assume Harrison's agents was suggesting he'd sign elsewhere? Although oddly if we hadn't given him a 3 year contract he'd probably now be only part way though a new 2 year contract we gave him last summer!!

Gaffney hasn't exactly set the world on fire since he came back,perhaps Cambridge were wiser than us regarding him Williamson, his replacementm got 2 yesterday perhaps getting a div 1 players for the money we paid for Gaffney was a good bit of business, although I think he's been playing OK the worry is what's happened to Taylor's form, has the Vardy comparison nonsense gone to his head/got too much for him, is he off today or had an offer turned down, or just hit a barren spell? Stupid thing is if Harrison was still with us he'd probably be playing regularly now!

And perhaps some of the seemingly easy chances in the box might have been put on target or even in the net.Taylor is not a natural goalscorer by that I mean he doesny do things by instinct,like have a pop with his left foot when he has the chance,he has to think things through and by then usually the chance is gone.I think teams are wising up to him as referees are to his going down too easily

How did Fallon look yesterday? Pretty up for it by the looks of things.

Totally disagree with the gaffney comments. The problem was, for a few weeks, the lack of ball from the midfield.

Cant't understand why we signed him? We were skint and needed back up for Gaffney? Now we've got a bit of money we can sign somebody better, or perhaps he's just not up to league football after all? Although DC does have a habit of signing players and then never really giving them a chance Balanta, Alex Wall, Goldberg etc

So he must have a contract even if only a verbal contract.
