If this is true then Coleman your time is up.

That'd be the Bury game, I take it?

I'm going against the majority, I'd let Roberts go.....not good enough at this level. He's a good Conference player but is far too slow and clumsy. The only real plus point to his game is his aerial ability, his positioning and alertness to danger isn't good enough and you can punished for that at this level, as shown so often this season.

I also like Brown, but he hasn't really had a chance this season, best technical player we have, shame he doesn't fit in the system we seem to play.

It's not David Brown's style of play that doesn't fit in - it's his face unfortunately.

Sorry but I cannot agree with you, especially about positioning and alertness to danger. It must have been a nightmare for him when he had to play with Branch on his left and Williams on his right. How could any centre back be expected to cope with that? And how helpful was/is the constant changing from 4-4-2 to 5-3-2 or 3-5-2? Changing systems and changing personnel - what a nightmare. I think he has been admirable.

[Smiffy16]

Yeah I agree the changing of formation and system doesn't help you as a player, but at the end of the day he's played centre half on all occasions he hasn't been moved out to right back or anything. He reminds me of the typical Jonathon Smith/Michael Welch defender, very good in the air but just that. He's very very inconsistant and we get exploited far too often at the back. We need to change the defensive situation as this season, and many others for that matter, we just haven't been good enough. And at times Roberts along with others have been a liability....

So, to reiterate: we will be paying to lose a useful squad player (Brown) and a first team centre half (Roberts, who impressed in the only game I've got to this year, Wycombe away)?

Unfortunately, I can't see the old smiley where a head is banged against a brick wall, but you get the idea...

Still, doubtless another second-rate scouser will be arriving in due course (given our current record on re-signing former players, I wonder if Eddie Johnston fancies a game?)

And no, I haven't forgotten the smiley in that last paragraph. Part of me fears that if he'd be cheap enough, Eric would be thinking about it.

Well I guess from that statement, allegedly the club want to release them now but due to them being under contract they are seeking comepensation.
