Mitchell

[scawsby steve]

Mitchell is a ok keeper but he just makes too many mistakes that lead to high value chances/ goals. He’s been the same throughout his career sbs he was the same for us last season.

Genuine question, Gaz. At this level, and within our wage structure, who's better than Mitchell?

Alex Bass Orr Shamal George we’re the two at the top of my list. If we can’t sign players like that it’s time to give up. Send Jones out to play 35 games somewhere on loan and find out how good he could be. No pint him sitting on the bench all season is there.

Alex Bass has gone on loan to AFC Wimbledon this season, so we will likely see him. He only managed two cup games for Sunderland the whole of last season.

He’s good. On another planet to f**king Lawlor.

Gaz, judging by your posts over the last few weeks, you really don't seem to rate GM and his new signings very highly.

 Well Steve in the big scheme of things it just doesn't matter at all what Gaz or any of us think, the next few months will tell the storey'
 It would have been interesting to see the stat and form projections the year Leicester won the premiership, where were the experts then? and most still harping on with a month of the season to go.
 The only stat that matters all season is scoring more goals in the oppositions onion bag than we let in  at our end.

Is Gaz Mcsheffrey?

Must have missed the post where I said GM was probably in the top two managers in the division. I’ve said Wood will be great,  Lawlor is rubbish and the winger a gamble. Apart from that I’ve commented very little.

Well
What an outfit….talk about pessimist rovers
Lawless rubbish etc.  crikey Moses. Let’s give everyone a chance and boost confidence,     
There , I’m not a sportsman but a musician and confidence is everything with me and surely with footballers

To be fair, there isn’t anything in this post I’d disagree with. I suppose the Lawlor one is a bit harsh, he’s good physical attributes to be a decent keeper. Hopefully his decision making has improved.

We went through this when Lawlor was signed. Clearly very different views about him. Don’t forget. We’ve all seen him in action before, close up and not that long ago at all.

And everyone gave him pelters for being rubbish! Short memories.

[streathamdave]

I've not forgotten Gaz.

Alex Bass.

Now gone to Notts County on a three year deal. They paid Sunderland a fee but that’s a great deal for them. He’s a great keeper at this level.

I’m a big fan. First player I ever put up to Graham Younger, when Bass was at Pompey.

[ncRover]

Great shout Gaz.

Notts have made some good signings in defence  now. We will have to see if they manage to keep hold of their attacking talent.

I remember poor old Etheridge getting panned for not being a good after dinner speaker ... Well for a very nervy post Signing speech

Killed him going forwards as did being booed all way from Dug out to South Stand when coming on as a Sub

Poor bugger

….and don’t forget the time Andy Butler ripped into him in front of the south stand after a mistake that cost a goal ….. and Fergie hanging him out to dry in a post match interview.

His career progression before and after Rovers suggests he was never good enough for us

I remember half time at Accrington some kid gave him an absolute barrage of abuse. Etheridge just looked straight at him and looked like he was going to burst into tears.

Felt incredibly sorry for the lad. Could see his heart break.

I was stood next to Etheridge’s dad that day behind the goal. He seemed a nice bloke and said his son would be very disappointed with the long shot that went in.
Maybe if Andy Williams had put the very early penalty away it would have been different. Believe it or not I thought that their keeper was even worse on the day. He was a nervous wreck and we should have scored more against him.

It was Aaron Chapman I think. He was useless. Somehow had a career out of being 6’7 and looking fairly athletic.

[pib]

I thought Chapman was rubbish every time I saw him as well. Think he had Steve Evans to thank for dragging out a league career for so long - took him to Peterborough, Gillingham and Stevenage. As soon as that gravy train ended he found himself at Retford, Worksop and Handsworth. Although now appears to have taken a bit of a step back up to Hereford in the NLN.
