And Markanday.

who will be hopelessly out of his depth. Don't know what you see in him.

[OnionBalaji]

I’d like us to offload: 

Buckley, Dolan, pears, hedges, hyam 

no contract renewals on the journeymen other than Batth 

Wharton coming back will be “just like a new signing” 

would keep ribero 

 

expect us to be really struggling and see us in and around the bottom 3 with a demotivated group 

 

hopefully the young ones coming through hit the ground running, have ambition and fight and want to prove themselves - they’ve so much more to gain by fighting for the shirt - all Forshaw, Hyam, Woodrow, Weimann have to gain is finding a new club or retirement by going up

I see more in Markanday than I do in Dolan.

I expected Dolan to go. Probably Derby. 

I would re-sign Batth and Weimann. Forshaw I wouldn't re-sign..

Wouldnt sign any loan players permanently. 

Ribeiro I'm undecided on. Poor the last 3 games. 

Pears need selling. Toth either sell or loan..

Hyam, might be tempted to sell if the right offer there. 

incomings

A quality number 1 keeper is the main priority for me. Plus a number 2 keeper. Need someone who command the box, good communicate and good reflexes.

Pacey right winger. 

centre midfielder x2

A centre back if Hyam or Carter sold. 

Striker with pace. 

Left back if Ribeiro isn't re-sign. 

Would use JRC as right wide player not a right back for me. Brittain then Duru as our right backs option 

 

 

Bring TK back if Luton go down 😂

i don`t,dolan is inconsistent but markanday is`nt up to playing championship football

[Mattyblue]

At the start of next season he’ll be turning 24 and he’s currently in and out the side at Leyton Orient. Give it up, rigger!

And yet Markanday is still better than Dolan.

[Mattyblue]

Is he buggery or he wouldn’t be getting farmed out to the lower leagues (especially with our weak squad).

It could be that no lower league clubs were willing to take Dolan

[Mattyblue]

Yeah that’s definitely it.

[chaddyrovers]

Markanday isn't good enough that the reason. 

Dolan is a championship player all day long

[simongarnerisgod]

no contract talks ongoing with travis,tronstadt or brittain,travis in the let saying it`s not the time to discuss it at this stage of the season😆,aye i believe that,i suspect lewis will be off at the first sniff of an offer,ditto brittain and sonny,what a way to run a football club,letting  three key  players run their deals down,they want us to renew our season tickets as well,******* bunch of amateurs and crooks imo

Excuse us if we don't believe the lad struggling to become a regular in League One is better than the lad who is a regular in the Championship.

We should tell them it's not the time to renew our season tickets at this stage of the season.

Only cheap League 1 level players with no ambition need apply.  You are not coming to play for a Football team you are joining the Waggot Securities and Personal glory LLC.  We DEMAND mediocrity EXCELLENCE will not be tolerated.

If you believe Dolan should be a regular in the championship, so be it, I don't.

There’s every chance you’ll be BRFC’s head of scouting by summer.

garret and markanday will be in the starting 11 next season😥

The stooges will be hoping and praying that other Championship clubs come in with cash offers for Travis, Hyam, Carter, Tronstad and Brittain. Between them there will be a few million to put into the drawer, a couple of the higher earner off the books and an opportunity to go and get cheaper replacements. 

This is the long game - they will refuse to even speak to them about new contracts and in doing so force those players to scour the market for new clubs - they can't sit around for months or years waiting for Rovers to offer them terms, they will have agents looking at what else there is out there. Who can blame them.

So then when their heads are turned and minds made up to go elsewhere Rovers can play the victim card and pretend that they wanted to keep those players but in the circumstances need to be letting them go.

They've done this time and time again, such as with Lenihan and Nyambe. A lot of people fell for it last time. Surely they won't be so stupid to fall for it again?

As I am now retired, I would do it for free.

did he really deserved a new contract and was he that good? not for me. Give me Brittain every time.

Not interested. You'll be saying the same thing in the summer if (when) we release / sell half this squad that has us in the top 6 under a good manager.

We will downgrade under this regime. I am certain of that.
