Faulkner to Buxton

Going out on loan in next few days.  Will we see him in a Rovers shirt again?

National League North. Could we not find a taker in the National League?

Not getting this. Obviously the management & coaching staff know what they are doing & see the lad most days in training. Just seems what real potential he had a year or two back has gone out the window, & now going out to a Conference North side. From only seeing him the few times he played, it looked like it would be only a matter of time before he became a regular in the squad. Certainly looked a real prospect.

Injuries haven’t helped him. Shame really. Expected big things few years back. Hopefully he can crack on this year and get a good move to maybe York/Halifax when his contract expires.

I think his development has been badly managed. This last loan spell was a disaster for him as well. Give him a run of games to give him a chance of getting something next season.

More than anything he needs to play games and stack up minutes. His career has been missing game time. Just hasn’t played anywhere near enough. That’s the concern, not the level.

When he played in our first team a couple seasons back I loved him. Yes he didn't have the finess of the modern CB but he won almost every tackle, every header, was a threat from set pieces in other box. I thought he looked class then, bear in mind he was standing out when playing alongside Olowu and Anderson. Really dissapointed that we haven't nurtured him into the first team/squad.

He will play at the same level as Goodman and Flint in that league , Buxton , Peterborough Sports and Darlington respectively .

And the one that stands out is Will Flint

Yet as a boy he outshone Anderson who had a career in EFL and Olowu who at rhe time you lot were calling a disgrace now we are now saying shouldn't sign for less than championship?

Just shows how fickle footy fans are.

This boy is worth keeping.

I’d certainly keep him. Like others have said his development hasn’t been handled well. Injury certainly not helped but I’m sure he will do well at NLN level. Remember, he’s only 20 and had minimal minutes.

Is John McGrath still Buxton manager?

Jack Goodman is at Bradford Park Avenue Bri, which I believe is two divisions below Buxton.

Like other posters, I was impressed with Bobby when he played in our first team and I would be keeping the lad.

I'd agree on this - young lad with bags of heart and commitment - just hasn't had the breaks yet and has been a bit unlucky with injuries.

The only time I remember Grant saying anything significant about BF was that he didn’t fancy him beating Ironside to  a high ball ! Hopefully thst was tongue in cheek .
At Bradford’s he will have a Rovers Junior for company for a month then

Buxton’s assistant manager is Ricky Ravenhill and his son Liam plays for them as well. We’re better off IMO sending players to Buxton than most other non league clubs as we have closer ties with them

A certain irony that his route to game time is with the dad of the player who's keeping him out of our matchday squad!

Had a tough 12-18 months with injury then going to Ireland and not playing because they were in financial trouble and trying to get their own players in the shop window.

Showed a lot of potential with us and a good move to Buxton where he knows a couple of the lads (will play at the back with Ravenhill) and they are in with a chance of the play offs at NLN.


Does my head in when I see ppl moan about us sending players “too low”

It’s 2 divisions below us and will get regular game time which is the most important thing.

What’s the point in sending him to NL if he’s not gonna play?

NL North feels right at this point in time. Hopefully he will play every week.

  Had a decent game a steady 6/7 according to a friend who went to the game  in which Buxton missed some easy chances according to him.
  Ravenhill went off with a groins strain near the end.
    Despite Darlington losing, Flint had another good game, Kasper Williams however looks to have had a torrid time being subbed at half time in a heavy defeat for Whitby.
  Not a great weekend for results but important game time and Faulkner and Flint showing up well despite the losses.

Flint probably the closest to first team of the graduates right now.

This is probably an imperfect list and some of these are long past being ’youth’ players but the below are the younger lads we have on the books at the fringes of senior squad.

Flint
Oram
Williams
Straughan-Brown
Allen
Goodman
Jones
Faulkner
Kuleya
Degruchy

I think Jones, Faulkner, Goodman, Kuleya, Oram and Allen are out of contract this summer.

Jones, Kuleya and Degruchy need to go. Faulkner needs to have a good next 3-4 months otherwise he can go too. The rest I know little about their progress tbf.

They maybe need to go but unless somebody comes in for them they’ll be on the books until the end of June
