Judging O'Donnell based on the defence we had is
a bit hasty.We were wanting to sign him previously but
missed out on him.

The defence needs confidence in the keeper,the keeper
needs confidence in the defence.Chicken or egg?

Give him a chance if he's no better this season play
Hornby instead!

 

I hope we don't sign Chris Taylor.

 

My opinion is that anyone who couldn't see that Anderson significantly improved from when he made his debut to the season's end either wasn't paying attention or had already written him off and refused to acknowledge any positive evidence.
Anderson came to us with no match fitness whatsoever, having struggled to regain his former form after two serious injuries. His performances definitely improved as he got more game time. He wasn't pulling up any trees, but it's hard to do that in a team that had become utterly dysfunctional by February/March time.

 

No thanks he's shite.

 

Fordy, can we just enjoy a 3-0 win - at least over the rest of the weekend? You have drummed on about it being a results business but have done nothing but moan since yesterday (you're in danger of become a parody of yourself )

 

This obsession with bringing poor to average ex players back has to stop

 

The criticism of Law was ridiculous.

Guess people just want those that lump it forward

 

Hearing a couple of rumours regarding players contracts this morning. Firstly, that (as a few of us have suggested), there are a fair few release clauses and secondly, that the majority of them are due a significant reduction in their wages due to being relegated. If true, it may not be as difficult to get rid of them as first thought.

 

I agree but O'Donnell hasn't even been bad. A shaky month or so despite being good for the majority of the season and now he's apparently shite.

 

The Yorkshire post confirms this morning that we do have a 15% sell on clause if McBurnie moves. We also get money if Sunderland are promoted as part of the Wyke transfer and we get money from Lincoln because McCarten helped them to promotion so there could possibly some sort of salvation there if it all falls into place

 

I actually remember him scoring against us and standing in front of the kop cupping them oversized lugs

 

To be honest this has no effect at all in my opinion. The more expensive they become, the more fans would not renew, so incone generated would probably be similar.

 

We’ve had the debate on here numerous times and I still have a view that as long as is timed and managed appropriately, there wouldn’t be a drop - not a significant one anyway. We’re ruled by an outdated and fearful mindset.

Bottom line - unless we find a way to ensure our match going fans continue to go, and start to pay the going rate - or unless our owner props our budget up on an ongoing basis - we ain’t going to compete with ‘smaller’ clubs.

It feels to me like we’re a completely directionless club, lacking in strategy and leadership. We’ll be pinning our hopes on Bowyer ‘doing a Parky’, I.e. running all aspects of the club to something like a professional standard.

 

Lloyd Isgrove released by Barnsley, now this would be a good signing if we could pull it off.

 

O'Donnell has played behind the worst defence i can remember at Valley Parade, Doyle had the luxury of playing in a well drilled unit. Not much difference between them if any.

 

I'm happy with O'Donnell, he's come away from this season with a lot of criticism, but he's more than good enough for L2.

Rather we saved our money.

 

When you say internal source........ What are the voices in your head actually telling you.

 

Doyle deal dead in the water. Hearts wanting £1.22 up front rising to £1.37 with appearances.

 

I tend to agree with @NorthernMonkey on this one Ronnie, at 35 years old and knowing where we are in footballing terms, I cant see him demanding a huge chunk in wages. Hes in his last seasons granted but i think what hed bring in terms of experience and footballing nouse would surely benefit us on and off the pitch. The Hamilton fans tweeting last night are sorry to see him go and still say hes still solid at the back.

As you rightly pointed out, hes never really relied on pace, his strength is his footballing brain, therefore L2 should be the best place for him to ply his trade for his remaining years. In addition, if he acts as an example for the younger defenders youd like to think we'd be targeting, it's a no brainer for me. It of all of the old heads weve been linked with again, hes the one I'd most like to see return.
