Matthew Rose averaged 28 games a season over 10 seasons

Grant Hall has averaged about 25 games a season over 3 seasons.

Are we really going to sign him again in the summer? He's made of weaker glass than Rose was. Surely a pay as you play deal or heavily weighted to appearances. Such a talented crock and we cant afford to have players who spend more time on the physio room than on the pitch.

He is usually good when he plays. Let us keep him on reduced wages

[YoungR1]

He is good but not great. Could replace him quite easily for a player less injury prone. We can't afford Matt Rose type sick notes any more.

But take away this season and he has made 73 appearances in the last two seasons.

Good point.
Now out with a groin strain rather than the knee which was the main issue. If we do sign him up I hope this isn't the start of injury build up with a succession of various niggling injuries. I think Rose went the same way, nothing particular just one injury after another.

I would still sign him but he has to recognise it has to be weighted on appearance money and bonuses. He cant become of our highest earners and only make half the games.

Sadly I wouldn’t keep him

[Shepherds Mush]

Might be ok like Jack Robinson was.

Personally would keep over Lynch all day long.

73 over three seasons from 15/16 - 17/18, no?

Club site shows he's played 16 times this season and is now out with a groin strain so I reckon his season is cover.

Total stats 93 appearance in four seasons. And 20 for the last two, an average of 10 appearances per season for 17/18 & 18/19 - not a good return on wages!!

He's a good player when fit but a new contract needs to be heavily based on appearances.

Ah, so 73 appearances in his first two seasons before the injuries kicked in meaning only 20 the last two years.

Yup. Doesn't read well does it.

[72bus]

he's been unlucky our best CB when fit

[Stainrod]

No deal for him or Lynch we need to move on , I feel we could get better for less wages.

Might be right there. Need to do some savvy recruitment in the summer and freeing up their wages may help a bit.

And good to see Manning getting a call out for a solid performance at LB. Perhaps he's one that's not quite at it for midfield but will slot into a new position if bidwell moves on. I'm sure Manning had the odd outing at LB under Olly. Perhaps one problem solved?
