Leicester v Rovers

[Thinwhiteduke]

surely it has to be time to give the nucleus of next year's squad a few run-outs.

Depending on whats left. You can hardly be suprised if the majority of those in which the Club have shown absolutely no faith are looking for a different Club, any Club, right now.

Adios Championship.  How many will have release clauses in their contracts?  Diouff for one, I would expect.  When the likely becomes the inevitable, surely it has to be time to give the nucleus of next year's squad a few run-outs.

But do we have any idea what that nucleus even is? Who is going to stay? Who do we even want to stay?

\"Peltier getting some joy on thet left side, not surprising, that's all I am going to say.\" O Connor left out since Ilunga came back.

O Connor hasn't played left back for a long long long time and maybe only once or twice ever

Jimmy playing anywhere in this defence would be better than Ilunga, Beye or Chimbonda. Get rid of these left over losers.

The fact that some of these so called superstars are laughing and joking with the Leicester City players is all the more disgraceful.

Time for Saunders to go - along with Chimbonda, Beye, Diouf, Piquonne etc. I would rather see those that will likely be still with us next season play and the kids if necessary!

The last time I saw a Rovers team play was the outing against Barnsley, with an onloan goalie, and look what happened.

I think he deserves to be given a full season, including pre-season.  He was hardly dealt a decent hand when he came in, and he will have learnt from the experiences of this year.

Looking at SOD's final spell, we were going down anyway, as SOD himself said (\"we need to prepare for League 1 next season\"), so JR had to try something, including the McKay experiment, and unfortunately it hasn't paid off, but as a club we're still on a better footing than possibly any other relegation season than the one when we ended up in the Midland League.

As for who will stay next year: I think Diouf, Chimbonda et al will be off.  Of the rest, a few will/should be culled, a couple might want a change, but realistically, how many are still good enough to be poached by Championship clubs?

I'm not being funny but it doesn't look as though Saunders has learnt from many of these experiences as the season has gone on. We see exactly the same ineptitude from all corners game after game.
