Bogles true colours came out when Moore left. Dummy. pram.out. Wellens was asked to leave when Ferguson made it obvious to him. Wellens thought he could play the same card with Bogle. It hasn’t worked. Bogle has a contract and expects an amount of guaranteed income from that. But with that comes game time, fitness, reputation, and looking forward I ultimately value as a player.Bogle has chosen hardball. Play no games. Lose match fitness. Tick over general fitness. Lose value. Lose reputation. Take the wage. I can’t see him playing anything other than lower league footy after this year. If at all.
The decisions been made on Bogle for the long term good of the club and that’s that. If him not playing means he leaves in January rather than in the summer, that’s a good thing.
Forced myself to look at the table. The problem is there written all over it in red marker, highlighted, shouting out to be addressed.- Teams 10 down to 24 have all conceded roughly 19 to 24 goals. Rovers have conceded 21, probably bang on average among that group.- But we have scored only 6 goals. SIX goals.I think we have to sign another free agent striker. Forget Dodoo, we have to add another. What other short-term (viable) solutions are available to us? (I would not have been convinced about this until yesterday, btw, which was clearly a game we could have won with someone who could finish).
To sum up - The defence can't defend, especially at set piecesThe midfield doesn't protect the defence and doesn't move the ball forward in any meaningful wayThe attack doesn't make the runs required to receive the ball and can't finish their dinnerDiagnosing what the problem is with our team is like chucking your watch under a steamroller then taking it to Timpson's and asking them to identify what's wrong with it.
History of scoring goals in the league - albeit not really for drfc!
11 goals.Lowest in the football league outside of the Prem.Has to be at least one striker ready to sign start of transfer window or we'll for certain go down. We are slowly losing contact now.
thanks to our last managers

He's done this over and over. I know he thinks he's doing the best long term for the Rovers by forcing them out...but it's not how you manage a small squad bereft of forward quality.He exiled Bogle and banked on Dodoo and Cukur to which it turns out are both inferior to Bogle as an out and out centre forward.Richie played a dangerous game and should have managed the situation better. As he was banking also on Fej coming back from injury (but honestly who's to say Fej would have fared better under Wellens).

Then there is no point in having contracts if one party just decides they dont like it and can do what they like.Its basic employment law.
