Spot on much like how we saw the best out of Tim Smith in 2012 and 13 after Paul Sykes came in.

To be honest I am surprised but in a good way because he was one of the few merchantable players who would be in demand. I thinks this says a lot about him as a person to stick with us knowing that he is more likely to face a period in the Championship.

I agree with this and we absolutely need to find that player now that Lino is here 3 years.

Gale.

Let’s hope so.

I'm glad Gale is here, but I don't think we should be looking to build a team around him and Lino for the long term beyond this season. We need to be looking at getting some younger talent in who can learn from that pairing to take us forward into next season and further

I do only see Gale as a short term solution, and do expect him to take a more longer term role in the back room staff.

Lets hope that they can forge a partnership at least in the short term.

Right now, try as he might, he has been the one constant in the spine of the squad, and we haven't to be fair, created a great deal. I get that he needs someone decent to play alongside, but he's supposedly had that in Miller, and for the two years that partnership was going, he flattered to deceive.

At the moment, though its good to see a bit of continuity, and showing faith, it is also a bit of a risk

Gale is finished and is just another Brough.

I hope so. Brough and Miller were great together until he got injured.

We have one, he is called Morgan Smith

I have been a bit critical of Lino's consistency but happy with the contract extension.It just seems to bring a little bit of stability to the club when everything seemed to be collapsing around us.

And Charlie too
