Bostock

[Padge_DRFC]

He's not going to be here next season. He's far too good

[GazLaz]

Bostock and Clayton were good again today. So we’re Williams (one mistake cost us admittedly) and Martin.

[Chris Black come back]

We lost. Not only did we lose, but we lost in the most predictable fashion, after we had scored. Only that nobody could have predicted we would have scored, given how hopeless we are at scoring. All in all, today despite the improved individual performances, was the usual crap that spanned both hopeless and hapless.

[Spud]

Clayton looked fitter & had a good game, shame Bozzie will probably leave he had a great game.
Thought the lads showed some effort today, shame we're just not good enough in  front of goal.

Spot on Spud that’s all you were missing today.

Thanks for your words of encouragement, Frankie, but goalscorers aren't all that we had missing. As in almost every game, we conceded 2 poor goals.

Our forwards and defenders have been atrocious all season.

[mushRTID]

Not been Bostock biggest fan but he was outstanding today.

Unless he was injured, another very odd decision from GM to take him off.

Who would you have taken off then when we needed to score. Smith, Clayton, Rowe, Martin, Griffiths.

No Bostock because he was doing the deep lying midfield role and we needed to keep the others on because they have more to give in the opposing half.
It was the right decision and not only that the sub Mipo scored.  Bostock has value when you need to hold a lead but from where he plays not as much when you need to chase the game.

[Chris Black come back]

I think today was the first goal Mipo has ever scored in the senior game.

[Campsall rover]

I think today was the first goal Mipo has ever scored in the senior game.

It probably was but it was a cracker. GM is being criticised for a substitution that worked.

Give me strength what does the man have to do to get some credit.

He inherited a shambles and it was not going to get turned round over night.  Today showed me what he can do with a team. Proper football, 100% commitment from all 11 plus subs.
Play like that with a proven striker in League 2 and we will win the league. Absolutely nailed on if we consistently play with that intensity.

[drfchound]

Camps, I think you are probably underestimating some of the teams who will be in L2 next season.

[Monkcaster_Rover]

Shame Bostock won't be here next season. He was celebrating on the pitch when we scored today.

That minute or so of hope was lovely.

[Campsall rover]

I am not hound. Seen quite a bit of League 2 football this season & last season at Harrogate.

I really hope you are right mate.

[Pside]

Personally I think it will be 3/4 years before we get back up. I hope we appoint the right people and I could be sooner. I’m not hopeful though

[Armthorpe mickler]

Need a new owner and investment.Ground's a bit big for league 2 as well if where down for some time.

[scunny rover]

We will come straight back up

[The Beast]

Need a new owner and investment.Ground's a bit big for league 2 as well if where down for some time.

So we need a new owner now who's going to bail us out to a bigger tune than are current owners do at present??
Get rid of club Doncaster while we're at it because that subsidises the football side as well!

Hopefully the cheap STs mean the grounds half full every week at least.

[roversdude]

Bostock not adverse to resigning according to the font of all knowledge DFP

[Draytonian III]

Next stop for John Bostock is the National League, nothing to with his ability but there are couple of biggish clubs there with some deep pockets.
Stockport County , most likely win the league
Wrexham , Hollywood money
Notts County , at present they’ve got Harry Arter on loan from the other side of the river and he’s reputed to be on £15k and County are paying a big slice of that.
Or in the league Mansfield Town, not to far from his home in Nottingham

There's a chance that Mansfield will be in the same league...  they are currently out of the play-off places and have lost 3 in 4 games.

I also note that their saviour JJ O'Toole was benched on Saturday...

Doesn’t fit Mansfield’s style for starters. There are not many clubs that would take him so his options are limited.

[roversdude]

Still don’t get the clamour for JJOT he has played centre half for Mansfield….when he has played

[Sammy Chung was King]

He might feel he owes rovers after playing a part in us getting relegated if we do, as part of the squad.
I doubt it though, As Draytonian said, he would fit an ambitious up and coming team with cash to burn.

They get a ‘name’ player, he gets inflated wages, everyone’s a winner.
The way we have played I wouldn’t be angry about anybody leaving, with the exception of Reo Griffiths, we need to hang onto him.

[roversdude]

If we could keep hold I think him and Clayton will be massive next season

[Filo]

We activate the option, if someone wants him they have to pay for him

[roversdude]

Do we definitely have an option

[Chris Black come back]

Again, it’s not so simple as just “activating the option”. This might only be possible if he has played so many games, or in doing so there might be a wage increase involved. Likewise we might not on a reduced budget in League Two want to devote so much of the budget to him and if we can’t shift him over the summer we are left with a big liability. It sounds simple to just pull the trigger on an extension, but it will rarely be that simple.
