Why did we sign him? It was as inevitable as Pitman being as fit as a listless sloth.

Both signings were incredibly high risk. You could argue that it was irresponsible to sign them (I am not going to go as far as to say that, as it is easy with hindsight).
Shame, as both players know how to score...

Good job we have improved all things relevant to players fitness!

Remember we need Pitman to get injured so he can get fully fit.

Signing Leon Clarke is like buying the reduced price fish that looks slightly slimy and then being surprised when you get an upset stomach.
How many tickets do you think need to be sold to eventually pay for the period for which he's injured. Barton should be given a written warning just for signing Clarke.

We’d be better off reuniting Lambert and Walker this season

With the players we signed at the end (and after) the recent transfer deadline, they had been training with us for a few weeks, were free agents, and we could have signed them at any time.
It seemed like we had been holding out for other players, and only signed them because we missed out on our first choices.
Perhaps it was a an innocent matter of juggling things with the number of players needed to go out and come in - I dunno!

Another f ing crock.
It was always a risk, obviously a risk that backfires if you're Rovers, yet Kevin Ellison still plays and occasionally scores.. (?)

After Barton said he would never have signed any of the players Garner did, I wonder how many of the 23 other managers in the division would say the same about us now

So that’s at least 3 months wages going down the pan with regards Clarke’s wages. Plus we’re paying Pitman to be 10% fit and good for 20 mins per game. He also re-signed Rodman who promptly broke his foot and as a consequence will sit on the treatment table taking the p1ss for the next 3 months.
I was prepared to support Barton but he’s making it very hard. I think he’s a bit of a twat and that it would probably be best to move him on now before he drags us even deeper into the Sh1t.
What a f ing mess.

He may have no idea how to win a football match but he knows how to call out Charles Darwin as a wrong un |

“ but he knows how to call out Charles Darwin as a wrong un” What? I exaggerate. It is survival of the most adaptable. People often think Charles Darwin’s theory was survival of the fittest, it never was, it was survival of the most adaptable so we are going to have to adapt. |

We’d be better off reuniting Lambert and Walker this season They are both playing in the Martin Belsten memorial testimonial in a week's time. |

I think lower league football squad building was exactly what Darwin had in mind when he concluded his research. |
