Players you would sign

[Rovers fev]

Looks like the 3 dewsbury lads 

O’Connor 

turner 

beckett

will be here next year, don’t mind these signings can’t imagine any of them being on mega money and not old either and with turner being able to play anywhere from 1-7 it’s a solid signing

    Our young un picked O'Conner out when we played Dewsbury he dosn't come to many games now but he is not a bad judge,I like Beckett as i have posted before.But not Turner he does the basics but no pace not my cup of tea i'm afraid.But i wanted John Davies rather than Addy and with his performances this season he made me change my mind.

[Michael Bates]

Seems like we still can't be bothered paying our debts however.

[Rovers fev]

Club has said numerous times that players who are owed money have payment plans in place, Chizzy will be getting paid off

If he's agreed to some form of payment plan I doubt he'd be spouting off on Twitter about not getting it. If it's a toss up on believing an ex-player or Martin Vickers, I know who I'd choose. 

[Monkeymagic22]

I don’t believe that Chizzy would be lying. But these are rumoured signings and would be for next season. 

Chizzy, shows how poor our recruitment was, paying a transfer fee for a player, midway through the season, paying him contract money, and then the player barely features in a match. Total waste of money.

[Featherstonerovers2000]

When I spoke to someone very close to mark c they said the payment plan was in place but when they signed Paul turner, Chisholm and his manager wanted paying the full amount 

[Monkeymagic22]

 Chizzy has confirmed that he’s now been paid.

[The Blues Ox]

From the first list looks like Joe Keyes has taken an improved offer to sign for Bradford along with Matty Gee. Ryan Lannon off to Widnes as well. Im surprised so many people are keen on Maizen, I thought he was just Ok for us, certainly not stand out and Fax turned down the chance to bring him back this season but he is another that looks like he might be Bradford bound in which case if Doro did not leave that might make for interesting times at the Bulls between the two.

[Rovers fev]

Well looks like it’s dec Patton for rest of season and then he will be off to Widnes next year 

 

another player has been approached aswell but no names mentioned 

[Michael Bates]

Have we paid a fee for Patton then? I thought we were broke?

[Rovers fev]

I’d expect a fee or pay them the remainder of his contract with them or even a player swap

If that's correct. He is definitely the type of player we've been lacking. He's got a good kicking game and can contropl l the game. Playing for Swinton has totally revitalised him.

[sentoffagain2]

                    Almost to the word that i would have written.    

[Featherstonerovers2000]

I know a lot of Bradford fans dislike Patton but I was though their pitch didn’t suit his style of play, which showed when Swinton played other week the long kicking game down hill killed us get any momentum

   Only thing he lacks is pace but if Lacans gets fit he can provide that.

Where would you play Turner in that scenario?

 

[Rovers fev]

Centre, loose forward moving addy to second row so we can utilise England through middle where I think he is most effective anyway

Kicked us to death with 40/20's ,kicking game we're missing.

If Lacans stays in this permanent state of 4-6 weeks away then we won't have that problem...

   Could they go with Patton and Turner with Lacans interchanging at 9 with Jones.Turner does enough for me to keep his place.Difficult choice but it seems we have brought Patton in to play scrum half.

[Wolfey Rovers]

Wouldn't waste lacans at 9, bowes is a great 9 and used properly,  would be very effective. I'd put Turner at 13 in a sort of suedo Johnny hepworth type role and having 3 pivots

But we've got a 13 in Addy.

Where do we then play Bussey and Day?

I'm asking all these questions as that's what the faithful will be asking: Why is so and so not playing etc.

To me it's a straight choice between Lacans and Patton  if the first is fit and we mange to get the second. Anything else and we disrupt the whole team which is what I think we're trying to avoid as we've already seen this season that it does not work.

[sentoffagain2]

     How can you leave Turner out he is the only one that can create gaps and slip through a tight defence.On Sunday he was screaming at Addy to pass him the ball near the Eagles line and Addy went on his own and was tackled almost on the line.
