Probably one of Gardners best ever performances, ended by yet another injury… and def Lundstram’s best. Decent for large parts, but wasteful. Odd subs. Gardner is playing for a new contract 100% Cannot afford to give him one as 60 minute players in this League with only four outfield subs kill you. If we fell for it and handed him another 12 month I bet we wouldn't get 20 games out of him, agree about Lundstrum - his first thought now is positive and it makes all the difference, hopefully he can carry that through to next season.

nzlatic Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Lundstram probably benefitted by playing higher up the pitch. I think the same would be the case with Conlon rather than having him on the toes of the defence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deffo. I wouldn’t give Gardner a new contract. Too old, too weak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs the summer to put his own stamp on the team... Like many others were for ages with Unsworth, I think we should stick with him, but wouldn't be arsed if he left...

We can’t be fucking around giving managers the summer and then 10 games at the start of next season. Personally, I would be looking at DR’s position / recruitment before Mellon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many others were for ages with Unsworth, I think we should stick with him, but wouldn't be arsed if he left... With Unsworth I understood why the board stuck with him over the summer given the results in the 2nd half of the season and I liked the idea of giving people time in a new job. But I wouldn't have lost sleep if they did decide to get rid of him pretty much any time from Aldershot away. With Mellon I feel much more confident that giving him time is the right thing to do. He's done it before. I'm pretty sure I remember a Tranmere fan saying his second spell didn't go well because of something to do with the chairman not backing him or something along those lines. We know that Mellon will get full support here so hopefully he makes good use of that. If we sacked him off the back of this run then I would be a bit concerned about the direction we were taking in terms of giving managers time. Just about every other team in the play offs has had a bad run this season. Unfortunately we've had 2 - at the start and at the end. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB2 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Takes mellons historic track record away from it and he would be getting the same treatment as unsworth from fans. I think we look as bad as we did under unsworth. I see zero difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing players in Jan is hard unless you're splashing mega money to buy teams best. In summer people who are still wanted are out of contract. Far easier to bring in who you want. Can't judge him off a January window 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it occurred to me when he went off that our slim chance of salvaging the season went with him. It was unusual to see a player signal to come off then carry on, albeit only for a few minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
