If they have been watching lately they wouldn't need to listen to him,his work rate is poor and if the ball isn't passed exactly to him he's not interested If gaffney could start scoring regular he would be a much better player than him,100% effort every game . You should watch another Sport if you think that

I think your being kind when you state only 4 or 5 players. In my opinion only Lines, Taylor & perhaps Lockyer are good enough to make the step up. If we ever get there it is certainly going to be expensive ( transfers )to stay there. Lines? You jest sir. He can't hack it at our current level. Taylor? That is a dilemma that championship clubs have to gamble on if they want him. Lockyer? He's struggling at League 1 level, so what justifies your optimism? It might help by taking the captaincy off him. Your final sentence however I wholeheartedly agree with, with regard to transfers etc. My biggest worry is that with the ridiculous constant changes, we can't know, any more than DC can, just who is up to the job at League 1 level. After two years together, DC still doesn't know his best team. My other major worry is that next season we won't have most if not all the current loan players, and we should be looking for our own players to replace them. I hope our new set up is already looking to do so.

I hope our new set up is already looking to do so. If you think Lines can't hack it, then id love to know what you think of Mansell, Lawrence, Sinclair. Lines has been driving force in midfield this season. Colckett is not our player and likely be at a championship club next season. Boateng is being wasted, superb each game but seems out of favour. Bodin has gone missing his season and Montano and Moore play so rarely they can't find any form. Currently our strongest midfield would be lines, colckett and Boateng in my opinion. All the others mentioned struggling to prove worth. Sinclair lovin I don't get involved in. Nice guy, great beard, works hard on the pitch, starting 11 league 1 footballer - probably not. Same with Ollie Clarke tries hard and make a good squad player.

. You should watch another Sport if you think that why is that ? I disagree with your comments, his work rate is great, dropping off and linking is superb. Hes certainly not a "sat on last man shoulder" striker. But your not the only person to say this so maybe I'm missing something.

Never mind. There WILL be life after Mattteee Tee. Absolutely, players come and go...the club goes on. We had pathetic levels of panicking when Kodjia left (until we saw the size of Villa's cheque!) - and then the panic returned when we realised our striking options now consist of a loanee who won't be with us after this season, a 37 year old and a Swedish international who's butt seems permanently glued to the bench. Yikes! But, as you said life goes on...players, managers, board members, backroom staff all come and go....the fans are the club, always will be. Support the badge, the name, the colours and your fellow fans....those are the only things that really deserve your loyalty, you can't go far wrong doing that as a football fan...

But your not the only person to say this so maybe I'm missing something. fair enough people see different to others,on his day I agree with you but other times gaffneys effort makes him look lazy I do like Taylor but don't get excited when he's got the ball like I did when we had the likes of hayles,Roberts or Stewart

How the hell can he go 'cheap' if 4 or 5 teams want him ? that does not make sense, unless a bidding war goes backwards !

If they all know the release clause is £750k or £1m (who knows the exact figure except the board & his agent) why would any club bid more? The bidding war will be on who offers the largest signing on fee & biggest salary, BRFC wouldn't in that case benefit by anything.

Gaffney is a runner, Taylor is a touch player, and for me is a lot like Stewart, but not as good in the air.

City paid £1m for a 32-year-old Lee Trundle 8 years ago... If we get anything less than £3m we've been robbed.

Taylor is nowhere near as good as any of the strikers we've ever received decent money for. I would be biting off the hand of any club offering 1m.
