On o/s now.

Excellent news

[Filo]

Where's the rumour mongerer thatsaid he had played his last game for us?

[mushRTID]

Wonderful news, hope a few more follow soon.

[topnotch_Donny]

Splendid news, and it buys us time to find an adequate replacement.

I love you Sulli

If its the same rumour mongerer Im thinking off I think he might have got his wires crossed.I believe he was told something along the lines\"Ben smith was in the net for the swansea game and Sulli was dropped has it was his last game for Rovers\" him not realising they meant it was Ben's last game not Sulli's.A case of Chinese whisper's
Anyway I too am very pleased to see him sign a 1yr extension.When we got promoted to the championship I was a little worried he might not be upto it anymore but Im glad to be proven wrong for AND 2yrs now and still looking good enough.EEEEEEAASSSSY FOR Sulli!!!!!!!!!!

I'd of personally liked to see a new keeper next season but hey, atleast thats one player we'll definately have  

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Good news.  Whether someone younger takes his place during the season will remain to be season.  That's the challenge for Woods and maybe one other.  Can they make do it?

It's a good situation as we have Sulli's experience not only within the squad but to help improve these youngsters.  A good challenge for young keepers also.  I hope one of them can stake a big claim but Sulli will do a good job we know that.

I notice that Lincoln keeper refused a new contract

[snods big brother]

Still need a good reserve keeper

[Alan Southstand]

Don't worry, Snod, SOD said he wanted a striker, a midfielder and a CB and a replacement for all those that leave. Whether BS counts in that philosophy, mind.... as he was released and not offered a new deal.

[roversdude]

Be nice to have a decent back up - never was impressed with Smith

[DonnyNoel]

I think we've never bothered having full-on competition for Sulli as he's comfortably been good enough for this level so with the budget as it is, why have another championship standard keeper on 3/4/5k p/w for the sake of one or two games a season - if anything had happened to Sulli for 6+ games there was always the loan market.

The releasing of Smith could well be to let him get the first team football he needs but it could also be a signal that we will move for someone like Burch to give proper competition for a year with a view to him being no1 2011/12.

I like sullivan and he always gives 100%.
worthy off a new contract imo.    B)

still not sure how many games he will pllay though.   :dry:

[RobTheRover]

46 plus the later cup rounds, I expect.  Maybe three playoff games too.

[Bretby Rover]

You don't think we will go up automatic then Rob?
