    I do agree with you're last comment, I'm sure Bowyer is frustrated with his record so far, but like it or not he has to be given next season at least, and I believe he will sign a two year contract maybe this coming week ;).

    He’s not your type - pretty much the exact opposite of a midget.

    What are these excuses from the club you keep mentioning?

    He doesn't know but it sounded good amongst the drivel he was writing.

    I can see a few of these players having relegation clauses to be honest. The likes of O'Donnell Doyle scanell Akpan. Personally I'd rather see the back of the defence, caddis aside. But we'll see.

    Wouldn't that be great, get them off the payroll and moved onto another club.

    Just get them off the payroll. That will do for me.

    Love this quote from the T&A article.

    “I pride myself on having big, physical and strong teams - with the ability to play good football. We have tried to do that here, in a short space of time, but obviously haven’t been able to recruit.”

    Bowyer is already preparing for a hectic summer as he looks to rebuild the squad – whatever division they start next season in.

    He added: “My mindset will not change and a hell of a lot of work has already gone in ahead of the summer.

    “I will be looking to bring some pace, size and physicality to the squad. I am a supporter when the game kicks off and want to watch my team entertain.

    Very happy with this.

    Endorse this 100 %.

    The most important thing at this stage is just having some frigging clarity, knowing what direction we're actually going in, and sticking with it BEYOND a transfer window.

    It won't be easy, and I don't expect us to go up next season, but as long as we see progress.

    Sounds like 11 six foot cloggers are on the way :)

    I like the quote in general but if that means playing players simply because of size then we as supporters could be in for a testing season.

    I believe we do need the attributes he's targeting but without the required ability then they mean nothing and I'd certainly prefer a good "little un" over an average "big un" in certain areas.

    Makes for an interesting summer for a change.

    Good appointment and hopefully it has a positive effect on ST sales.

    I don't think we'll see any journeyman cloggers to be honest. If this was a manager like hopkin then yes we would given his style of play but Bowyer wants to play attacking, attractive football which you need good technical players for.

    And it doesn't need to be physical everywhere either. A new, strong centre half partnership and left back, plus mellor (who I think will be 1st choice next year) is already a huge upgrade in terms of physicality. Add to that a defensive midfield enforcer and a striker who has a bit of strength (not just a lump of shite) and that'll do it in terms of the strong physical players.
