Rovers old boys

You can’t go on forever although didn’t we want to keep him? I thought he left because he wasn’t happy with the contract offered.

We offered him a player/coach role with limited playing opportunities, he wanted more playing time so turned it down

Correct but I am assuming that we could have offered him a contract that would have persuaded him to stay but we chose not to. "Released" was incorrect on my part.

I agree with ONIGP that we effectively released Clarke because he made it clear he wanted to play every week, and we made it clear that would not happen.

I saw a heat map yesterday of Walsall’s starting eleven in the first half and everyone was around the half way line, apart from their number 26 who was a lot deeper than everyone else! I was gutted when Clarke left but Turnbull and Simeu have been outstanding. Hopefully davies can get fit and we’ll have the three of them competing for two places (with Byrne as back up). Although I suspect Jameson will be in the becnh as he can cover at left back too. Robinson injured for a while and hockenhull is about as close to the first team as Dave Higgins!

That’s the Dave Higgins who’s just had an op, hip replacement (?)and currently on crutches.

Surprised we haven’t loaned Hockenhull out yet. He’s not even getting any Pizza Cup action.

I wondered what the issue was with Higgy when I saw him in the tent yesterday.

Possibly when Jameson and Davies are fully fit then Hockenhull will get sent out.

Jameson will start on Tuesday according to Micky alongside Byrne

Makes sense to give them some game time. Hopefully Burton gets a start too

Two former Rovers goalkeepers faced each other in the Champions League last night: Joe Hart of Celtic and Peter Gulacsi of RB Leipzig.

Callum McDonald signs for Stockport

Callum McDonald signs for Stockport

Short term deal, presumably till January, didn't get his league 1 move then

 

[Boz]

He’d have done better staying with Rovers the way things panned out. Unlike Otis Khan, was quite sorry to see him not accept the deal we offered. Bristow certainly the better option in the wing-back, with more potential but a closer contest comparing them as orthodox left-backs.

 

[Sparky]

If Stockport carry on the way they are they’ll be looking over their shoulders fearing relegation

Mcdonald starts away at cookies in form Bradford. Connor Jennings on the bench for the hatters

 

[Boz]

No surprise, Stocky have run out of left-sided defenders.
