Does anyone else find your constant referral to Camels just a bit boring! Does anyone else find your constant attacking of other peoples posts just a bit boring ...& when was that then? You of all people!

Superb. What a sound. Lots of Thai people looking at me right now like I've lost the plot Stand proud for Rupert. Would make a superb and very individual run out tune - how about it Nick?

Sincs - no vision, never a forward pass... Again - one of our best players. Used to get all the plaudits now, for some bizarre reason it's his fault f we don't perform. A key team man!

What's on the site at present? Can the site be used as a training facility whilst development takes place? How long will the development take? There are a few junior pitches marked out and used on Sunday mornings, quite a lot of scrub land, some hard standing for parking & some pretty derelict looking changing rooms that need bulldozing. So its pretty much a blank canvas & if we get going soon and have plans & contractors in place then the buildings & access could be done in 2/3 months. The pitches may take longer to get to the standard required but they can work magic on pitches in a few days by relaying turf and drainage systems.

My Godfather was a Senior Nurse at Hortham Hospial - very sad place, a lot of the inmates were guys who suffered breakdowns during and after WW2 & of course there were many others who suffered mental illness from an early age. I used to go swimming with his family in the open air pool on site in the 60s, a real treat, but in reality it was a sad and scary place. Much changed now with the recent Hortham Village development and soon to be further enhanced by BRFC!

I still cannot believe we never tried for Ollie Watkins, he has more potential than judas and would have been a quality addition. They want £2m for him and he wants to go to the Championship once he has helped them get promotion this season.

We are very fortunate - it's been an incredible 12 months.
Thanks for giving us hope, pride and one particularly fantastic afternoon &'evening. Never to be forgotten.
In Wael & DC we trust!

230 plus games at Clyde, QotS, Blackpool in Championship, Rotherham, Sheffield Utd - decent pedigree!

Today is the saints day of Timothy and Titus. What's Titus Bramble up to these days? the ice skating season is still on so I guess it's the falling over role in Bambi on Ice or ruining David Pritchard's career? I sat in front of dear old Pritch at Walsall

I mentioned him before. He's absolutely on fire. Bury would be all but relegated now without him better finisher too imo if he played for us he would have 20+ already Their individual records dont suggest Vaughan finishing is any better than Matty - admittedly they have played at entirely different levels until this season but Matty has a remarkable scoring record throughout his career Vaughan age 28 - 64 goals in 200 games Taylor age 26 - 184 goals in 329 games

I just knew that you would mark Ollie Clarke up & Sinclair down - but from where I was sitting Stuart was one of the few to get involved, get stuck in & not give the ball away at almost every opportunity.
Ollie didn't have one of his best games - now way our MoM. Leads was awful too. I didn't think Lee Brown was too bad & other than one misjudged challenge Tom had a decent game.
Still we all have different opinions. UTG

Hmmm, slightly worrying. I cant help but think a good/decent first season could be seriously harmed with Sir William Puddy inbetween the sticks for the rest of the season! Very harsh - the lad had been with us 2 and a half seasons during which he has contributed to 2 promotions and now 8th in L1 with a personal clean sheet ratio better than 50% - difficult to find fault but no doubt some feel they have to knock him. He is a good bloke, fits in well with the squad, know & trusted by DC & deserves more respect! UTG

Charlie Colkett signs on loan for Swindon....and they get 2 other Chelsea lads...everyone is doing their business so why aren't we??? Very simple Gaffers - we don't need to panic - DC can bide his time and get the right men at the right price. Swindon, Bury, Port Vale, Oldham, Shrewsbury, Coventry etc are on the verge of relegation - we aren't!

But if it suits our back 4, they know him, he knows them, that's got to count for something. And I hate to labour the point, 12 points for 15 with him in goal. Why labour a point if it's wrong? Six games since Shrewsbury 2 of which we lost and 2 of which were against the most woeful sides (bury and Coventry) that I've seen in a very long time, not sure how good or bad Northampton actually were because I think we left them shell shocked after 20 minutes. But hey why would we ever expect a squad of players to be improved? Clown - it's four - 4 - games since Shrewsbury (Cov/AFCW/Charlton/Northampton) & we won 3 convincingly with 12 for 5 against.

Really? Hasn't done too bad from where I see it. Fortunately the team have performed the last few home games so he's barely been called into action. Seems a nice guy who adds to the team spirit but nowhere near good enough for League One. He didn't meet the grade at Braintree in the Conference earlier this season so cannot be considered a long term answer. That's rubbish - he got injured at Braintree in the FA Cup and so came back to us as his loan was due to expire and we needed him fit due to Mildenhalls injury. I understand more than 50% of his Rovers appearances have resulted in clean sheets! He deserves more support & respect!
