BradwellRover, nobody has said he was useless at spotting a player, just the way he used them, as has been highlighted by the way the next two managers have used them in much more exciting teams to watch. His teams matched his personality boring with a nasty side.
Has there been a statement from the club or CEO with regards to loosing another top goal score ( Again) and how this will be taken onboard or if further support will be offered to DM.
I'm going to out my head up over the parapet, is Ben really that good? He has had some cracking games for us, more than less, but he is not Mr Consistent. Good passer of the ball but no pace and not the strongest tackler in the world. When he is off though he is very average and I think we have seen better opposing defensive midfielders in his time with us. I'm going to trust in AH to come up with the goods but I would really like a proper mester to replace him It's only an opinion nothing more

Football isn't all about pace and sliding tackles.
Charlie Brown Chelsea to MK Dons is the only EFL transfer completed up to press today according to the BBC. It's taking some sorting out.

I would imagine there are players on part with his ability and strengths I don't know.Inevitably he will play against better players and he won't be the main star player like he is for us.

For anyone who criticises our loan policy.Sometime it does pay dividends.If this transfer could strengthen our team by 2/3 or 4 players it could address any weaknesses we do have and progress stronger going forwards.

He's more a deep lying playmaker, similar to Jordan Henderson or Ruben Neves. In the right place to win a ball back, can tackle if need be, gets the team going forward through his passes and can easily unlock a defence with his ability to pick out the right pass.

Think that you are in the minority with that description of how Ben played for us
I note that, presuming there is no last minute hitch, Ben will now become Preston’s record signing. Quiz question - which future Rovers player is their current record signing for a fee of £1.5M?
