The Moonster Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Are you guys looking to take few folk full time this year? Nope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I really wish the season wasn't over and we were still playing so everyone could remember how shite we were for the last 5 months... ''Out of sight out of mind''. We were awful guys, Anelka awful, so why retain most of the same squad? Players like Spence, Anderson, Fox should be away without a hesitation, they nearly got us in the seaside league! Same again next season Murray aye? Well so far we've swapped Donaldson for Barr, which should improve matters. If it were a one for one swap, I'd be worried but the club has stated it wants to go to a larger squad size which means that these guys, who are not nearly as bad as you suggest might ot be guarenteed starters. I maintain the big issue we faced last year was squad size which meant a lack of competition, no cover for injuries and limited options for changing the style of play. Murray isn't inflexible about how his teams play - his first season should've demonstrated that, but he clearly caught himself out this year with a team that only had one real style of play. Further, we tended to lose stupid, stupid goals - not through playing utter garbage but through moments of breath taking stupidity, more often than not when we were on top. Individual errors can be sorted, systemic ones are harder to fix. A settled back four based around Barr and (hopefully) Watson won't leak nearly as many goals as our ever changing defence did this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Nope. Thought Robinson was a full timer, might be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thought Robinson was a full timer, might be wrong. As far as I'm aware he is yes. Think we're just chancing our arm, we need a keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'm sure I read a few weeks back that Robinson is part-time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the solution would be clear out the entire squad im hope we can replace everyone? Gotcha I really dont understand the Anderson bashing, he had a solid season and wasn't by any means the worst player in the squad. He was actually more consistant than Cardle but at times Cardle was untouchable by fans We are going to bring in alot of players to replace those who have left and also to provide cover/competition in different areas. Can we please wait until we have actually signed 11 players before everyone goes postal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the point of holding onto players who just could not cut it last season at all. We were awful the last 5 months and big change is needed or we will be a walkover next season. I do hope you are right about us bringing in new players and decent business getting done in the summer, i really do, thats why we support the same team, but the problem is, ive no trust in Murray, I don't believe he's up to the job here at all. The idea that spence has been offered a contract just emphasises that. I really hope I'm wrong and he brings in some shrewd signings but I am totally disillusioned im him and have no trust in the man. Can you blame me? Bringing Barr in should be a good move and I guess time will tell in regards to all ins and outs, but Unfortunately I am not enthusiastic! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostZapper Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 i think some folk are getting way too excited ov er the early goings on.... we are a week and a half into the close season - not a week and a half before the season starts! Plenty time, and i am prepared to remain patient for the time being. Hutton has already said the squad budget will be increased, so lets hang fire and see what happens! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty time, and i am prepared to remain patient for the time being. Hutton has already said the squad budget will be increased, so lets hang fire and see what happens! My point exactly. We aren't even into June yet... As ive mentioned before Murray did good work in the transfer window last season and regardless of the slump in form Moon and Elliot are good players for us and tbh im delighted they are staying for another year. Murray can be fustrating at times with his tactics and his post match interviews tho the board at the moment are backing him and so must we. Lets at least wait until he resigns Sean Kilgannon and Scott McBride before everyone gets in a tizz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Berk Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 What Hutton means by increasing the squad budget and what we would like it to mean are probably poles apart. There's no detail in that statement whatsoever. I'll wait to see whether that means financing a bigger better squad or just a few extra quid in the pay packets in just about the tightest employers in the Championship. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Brilliant Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 We're internet bampots and we deal in absolutes. Not worried yet. All sorts of players are still to be.released by their clubs. As long as we have 3 wide players, a left back and another option at cm we'll be sound. I bought my season ticket last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Didn't know about that article until 5 minutes ago. Different from that. For it to be a boost to the rovers players, it would need to be a new striker who has been proven to score goals. Anything else wouldn't be much of a boost as it's our attacking options that's brought on the depressing side of things in this thread.. Is it a new signing? When will we find out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 We've just confirmed a friendly against st Johnstone at Starks on Saturday 12th of July. Cup winners vs Cup winners. Kevin moon against Stevie may again. Time for some revenge! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I bought my season ticket today. Just walking into Stark's after a few weeks you get the buzz. Onwards and upwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
