Quote: Mary Millington "So BJ/Cooke/Obst are all players who need others 'better' around them to get the best out of them.

Not convinced.

It's clear to see we need a 'Brough' style player to get us round the park. Our budget struggles to get 'that' player to come to Belle Vue.

Here's a suggestion -

Get rid of 'these' players who need a 'better' player to guide them (ie) the trio above, get ONE class player in and play them with a promising youngster.

That way we wouldn't have lots of mediocre on the pitch, all at the same time, looking for direction.

At least that 'one' class player would get more bums on seats.'"

Would agree with that, in an ideal world i'd like to see Wildie paired with an experienced half next season. Maloney looks like he would fit the bill if the rumours are true.

We had 'that' player and the powers that be decided to let him go.

Trinity budget could not retain that player. Personally I thought it would back fire to let Brough go as it did when Ellis was sold, however, he would've been gone next season leaving Trinity with the same problem.

Indeed. We have followed up our best 2 seasons in SL by selling our best player the season after. In both cases I reckon we would have been better sitting it out and letting them go for nothing when their contracts ran out as the money/deals we got did little to enhance the team.

So according to you then the club would not have gone out and tried to address the problem in the close season, as against trying to fill a void when at that particular time there was nobody available icon_confused.gif

I think it seems obvious at this point that letting Brough go after only a few games was a appalling mistake. What ever money we got for him,we must have lost in the drop in attendance during the rest of the season due to our poor form,if he was here during that time I would bet that a lot of those close games we lost,we would have won more of them. Also he would of given us better starts in games and kept us in them for longer which we have lacked big time since he's gone.At the time he went, it was impossible to find a like for like replacement,if we'd have left it to the end of this season we could have off loaded his wages and let him go where he wanted as well as having all off season to find a replacement.

I couldn't understand why we re-signed him either, but with DB he was good. More than good, in fact. It's obvious that he won't be the dominant partner in a half back partnership, and we don't have that domiannt partner at the moment, so of course he's gonna look crap.
