Who stays who goes?

Zigger about right summary.
Stuckman hadhis chance not going to improve.
Middleton is worth a gamble.
Rowe has been brill.
His commitment puts others to shame mainly
Ats chaplow keegan and 1 other

Fergusons Yorkshire post statement this week doesn't do him any favours.
He is slagging certain players, saying that the recruitment before he came here was very poor.
How come then that he has offered extended contracts to some of them?
He says that the players he brought in are better than the ones that he has got rid of.
Really?
Wellens, Jones and Forrester out, who has he brought in that are better and more influential in defence or midfield than Jones or Wellens and which match winner type of player has he brought in who is better at that than Forrester?
Also, his timing is quite poor to make such statements.
He still has to put a team on the pitch to play against Burton so how will the players feel about putting a performance in for him?
Nowhere in his statement does he accept any responsibility for our relegation but he is is quick to point the finger elsewhere.
When he came to us one of the first things he said was how good the squad was and when we had the little good run he was saying how this squad doesn't know when it is beaten.
I remember him telling us that he remit was to get into the top six then when it started to go wrong he told us that his task had been to keep us in the division.
All this has put him yet another notch further down in my estimation of him and to be frank, i dont believe much of what he says.
Not only has he let us, the fans, down but he has also cost his employers a big amount of money by getting us relegated.
Who stays who goes is Azzas' question.
Top of that list should be Darren Ferguson.

It was time for Jones to go.Done us and himself proud but time to go.
Alcock and Rowe Mathews aside I agree hound

Yes lanza, i agree it was time for Jones to go but we didnt get a replacement did we.
Alcock is a good player but he certainly isnt a Rob Jones.
Rowe was brought in far too late, the horse had bolted after Ferguson tried to save us with kids in the team.
If he had brought experienced players in like Rowe and McSheffrey five games before they did eventually get here we would probably have stayed up.

Rob Jones will probably be playing against us next season.

Agree.
We should have had another cb while jones was still here.and we persisted in playing alcock at fb/wb when cb his is best spot.
Why he brought inexperienced players in I just dont know.

McKenzie, N, Guessan, JTS, Stuckmann and Chaplow were all DIckov's signings after "due diligence". Evina fooled him and a lot of us that he was prepared to put the effort in and then coasted after he got his contract and he was another Dickov signing.

Anderson, Grant and the Everton Italian were all brought in by Ferguson.

People can try to make it 100% Ferguson's fault (and he has admitted his part in it several times!) but Dickov cannot be forgiven for wasting the much better opportunities that he had to build a decent squad. There was man who would blame everyone but himself!

Jones brought Anderson to the Rovers.
Stuckmann has been feted on here by some as the man who kept us in games with his great saves so surely he was a good signing ?
Mattioni had a history of being injured before he came to us so as good as he was for a few games he was always likely to be injured again.
In fact, after he went DF never replaced him with another player who could play the same role but persisted with the wing back system.
The (too late) change to a flat back four gave us a glimmer of hope.
I agree that ATS,McKenzie and for the most part anyway, Chaplow havent been great but Fergusons failure to replace Jones and Wellens has been criminal.

Donaldo, having red your post again i would like to stress that i don't hold Ferguson 100% responsible for our relegation.
After all failure by players has been a contributory factor hasnt it.
Williams missing sitters for example, how can that be a managers fault?
Defenders making mistakes and giving goals away can't be down to the manager either i suppose.
Still, some people would say that the manager picks the team and sets out the way he insists on the game plan.

Oh, hang on, Dickov got blamed 100% for the same things and his strikers and defenders did the same things.

On second thoughts maybe Ferguson should take all the blame.

Cameron Stewart never really got a chance

Let's see what Ferguson can do with the chance to build a squad pre-season. For once, we will be a "big club" by League 2 standards, so players ought to be more willing to come here than to many of the others. If by Christmas we are not in the top third I think that would be the time to reconsider Ferguson's position.

Was it wise for Dickov to rely on Wellens who was never the player he was in 2008 etc especially when he wanted to be elsewhere? And surely Jones ought to have been discounted from DIckov's plans at least a year before he finally had to call it a day. In fact did he not acquire MacKenzie to fill the gap? I don't see it as Ferguson's fatal error, quite apsrt from the fact that Jones was not the sort of player you could replace easily.
