RevidgeBlue Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Hair dressing quips aside, it will be an absolute joke if Conway gets any form of deal and only slightly less so if Mulgrew does as his form seemed to fall off the face of the earth very quickly indeed. As another poster said earlier, there is no point whatsoever keeping players around the Club for sentimental reasons on the off chance they'll get an odd 15 minutes here and there. I fear this is what will happen with Mowbray at the helm though. Would hope to see Leutwiler, Gladwin, Mulgrew and Conway being allowed to leave when their deals expire in the summer and wouldn't imagine Rodwell would want to hang around given his lack of game time this season. After that I'd also like to see the back of Bennett, Williams, Evans, Smallwood and Samuel and some serious quality being injected into the squad in their place. Getting these players off the wage bill might be another matter entirely though. Who'd want them? (Apart from Mowbray that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has shown he is capable as 3/4th choice Centre Back, agree with everyone else, times up. I also don't want the promising youngsters frozen out by sheer dross. Bennett would be the first one out the door, closely followed by Smallwood, dreadful footballers for this league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arbitro Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 It will be mightily disappointing to me if Conway gets a new deal. This season he has contributed little and I don't buy this 'leader' nonsense. He is way past his best and the money committed to a new deal for him can be used on somebody who could push for a starting position as all first team squad players should be capable of doing.

Mattyblue Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I thought he had improved a bit second half of the season. But he looked completely past it last week, bad timing for him, but let’s hope it made TM’s decision for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, we don't want to be hampering the likes of Chapman getting game time by playing Conway instead. Genuinely think TM will give him a new deal though. Coming on for the last 15 to help close games out I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Mowbray made some very bold statements in the last couple of weeks. The concern was that it was all talk and no substance. A deal for Conway would show that it was just empty words. This isn’t a retirement village it’s a football club in great need of promotion to the PL.

That was the rationale Mowbray used to justify giving him a deal last season but I saw no evidence of him coming on to close games out. I haven't looked to see if he was involved in the numerous games in which we conceded late goals but if he was Mowbrays logic was misguided.

Rovers official site says of players out on loan, "on loan". Plenty of information there. Perhaps I should ignore the official web site and use the reliable Wiki. Sorry that you're ? key got stuck.
