:zzz:

From a Rovers fan (whose club has just stolen Torquays manager), naturally hates any connection with Bristol City (the big club in Bristol) and one who clearly is still riled that after beating NTFC 3-1 at your memorable ground in the 98 play off semis...we hammered you in the second leg!!! :)

I hear Robinson turned Rovers down...no bitterness then lol....

Re: Jake Robinson

Earlier this afternoon I signed for Northampton Town and I am delighted to be here. I met Gary Johnson and once we reached a deal I was keen to sign as soon as I could.

Northampton Town is a big club at this level, and once I knew of the club's interest I was keen on a move here. I know last season was disappointing for the club but we have to look forward. The lads finished the season well with two wins, and I am sure we can take that on and match the ambitions of Gary Johnson and the Chairman for this season.

I can't wait for next season to start, and hope you will be at Sixfields to cheer us on!.

What a crock of sh*t. What the hell do the staff at Plainmoor do all day? Feck it, let me do it, I'll do it for nothing, I'll bloody talk to the players and see if we can't get them to come here. There is no way that everyone else in L2 pays so much more than we do that we simply cannot entice anyone down here.

How bloody hard is it to call him up, tell him to be at the ground for 1100 last Thursday, with his negotiating cap on and a pen in his pocket. He sits down with the chairman and a negotiator and they thrash out a deal. If they can't agree terms, then let him leave. Don't just fecking ignore the poor bastard. Like him or not, he scored a bunch of goals for us last year, and he played pretty well most of the time. We're Torquay, we're not going to get anyone any better than Robinson to come down here.

This started as a bad joke, but is now getting worse and worse. It's coming to something when he would rather go to a club which didn't win in 3714 attempts last year, scored one goal and finished virtually bottom, than stay with the team which lost in the playoff final to the team who WILL finish bottom of L1 next year.

Matt.
I know it's terrible ain't it :'(

Maybe he's looking fwd rather than back eh?
Much love... :K

cambgull wrote:When we asked the same question to Shrewsbury fans, quite a few of them said the same thing. He starts off fantastically, plays brilliantly and quickly becomes a favourite, then he starts of tail off and eventually becomes quite an average player. He very much did that with us and although was still a dangerous player, he did go off the boil. The only other thing was that we kept playing him on the left wing and he doesn't have the greatest of left feet, if you play him on the right, I'd be very interested to see how he does.

As for Gilligan, I didn't personally see him play but apart from a superb assist in his first game, I don't think he seemed very up for it.

Oh well....looks like we've signed a dud then eh?
Still....if he scores 16 goals for us next season, I'll take that - along with 10 from Bayo, 15 from Harrad, 5 from McKay, 10 from Arran Davies (if we get him from Pish), 5 from John Johnson, 5 from Webster (if we get him from Donny), 5 from Ben Tozer (if we get him from Newcastle)..... oh and maybe 5 from Taigh Purcell who has still to come back from massive ligament damage when we signed him last July....

Here's hoping we can remember how to score goals again.... :goal:
It's going to be a very tough division next season.... :-/

Things ain't that bad are they? You guys were unlucky not to win the play-offs..... it's only Buckley that's gone so far isn't it?
If Chrissy Hargreaves takes charge you'll be up there again next season....

Re: Jake Robinson

Cobblers fan in peace.....
Jake Robinson has signed for us today.... is he as good as they say he is?
I just wondered - we struggled last year as you boys know...I hope he is the answer to some of our problems we faced....

Also, Ryan Gilligan - I know a lot of you were really excited taking him from us...did he measure up to your expectations?

Here's hoping for a good season for both our teams... looking forward to hopefully not getting hammered at Plainmoor this year!!
