Firstly I think it was a mistake releasing Fox and as for Colbon, I think he has done a good job for us. People have called for a mass change in the squad and for me its not needed. We have had our poorest season in a good while and some players have been in awful form but on previous occasions have shown over a period of time what they are capable of. Two players been Fox and Colbon.
I think Smith is a good player and if true it looks like he could be our first choice No1 for next season.
I don't see it as a job. It is a passion and love that we all share. Neil Hudgell

Because everytime he's being given a go he's being defensively poop.

Colbon just isn't a winger for me, I'm actually not sure what he is. A winger to me needs either sustainable pace or explosive pace, good footwork, good hands and good positional sense in defence. I don't think Colbon's got any of these to any great degree, he tries hard, can finish from close range and used to be good (and recently has been better) on exit sets, but that's about it.

As does myself and every other Rovers supporter I'd expect. Nobody wants a player wearing the red n white shirt to play badly.
