I've not seen much in the way of reports of how he's been getting on in the reserves. If he's not up to scratch then fair enough. That was the point of my why? question - is there a performance issue? Unless there's a better (relatively) versatile and experienced left back kicking around and if the team are confident he's recovered, why would we not give him something? It's not as if his wage demands are going to be crazy and they should be in the budget anyway. Tanser was very good today. For me he's a 7/10 player, and Easton gives an option that's more defensive and could maybe step in when it's a case of injury or form drop, until we can upgrade Tanser at least but I would think we have other financial priorities. Edited April 20, 2019 by Valentino Bolognese Also ... Tanser's been much, much better than last year, has bulked up and got some grit about him. If he shows the same next year, he will be an asset but we'll still need some cover and left back is one of the harder positions to fill.

HOODLUM65 Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 It's all ifs , buts and whys. Not sure how long his Contract is , however the few occasions he's been available to play in the Reserves on his comeback , suggests to me , having watched him , he has a long way to go to replace Tanser , as I agree was excellent today. dave mc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 4/5/2019 at 10:23 PM, Indicator said: Tranmere picked him up on a free from Forest Green who also picked him up on a free from ?? Current value 45k. On current form probably attracting some interest from Div1 or Championship clubs. Will give him the once over on April 22nd when Tranmere visit Lincoln. For Johnny B (Lincoln v Tranmere Rovers) A very entertaining hard fought nil-nil game in which James Norwood did look the most likely to score however, Lincoln have one of the best, if not the best defensive unit in League two. Norwood had about 2 x reasonable chances and 3 x half chances two went wide one went over and the other two were well saved by the keeper - Matt Gilks. To be honest Lincoln could well do with somebody like Norwood themselves in League-1 next season as the goals have all but dried up towards the end of this season. I'm not sure they can afford him though. Attendance: 9,658 (920 Tranmere supporters) Johnny B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Easton's situation is quite similar to Ando in that you want to keep them for cover by neither would be my first pick for their respective positions. If they want to stay, that's fine but both might just want away to get a final few seasons of playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a cb plays for a club as long as Ando has he is going to make mistakes but overall he has been a great defender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbourne Saint Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 let's not forget there was an Italian legend, defender, ex captain of Italy who was still playing at 40 in Serie A... and bizarrely, there's a Japanese player in their 2nd division playing as striker. ripe young age of 52. oldest pro in world football.

Shaggy Jenkins Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 I would be a bit concerned if we were only going with Kerr, Gordon and Ando. Even with the addition of the possible L/R back that can play center. Ando has been superb for us, but watching him a couple of times for Thistle on the TV I think where he is, is probably now his level, he looked like he has lost a bit of pace. I do think however there are positions with a higher priority before looking at CBs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBored Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Little surprised it is only a year. He is one of the young 'hopes' and there is the potential there that he runs down his contract like Hastie at Motherwell. We would still get compo...but that would be a smaller figure than if he was under contract as I understand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it would have to be someone with time to run on his contract. Swanson & Alston were in squad today so can't see it being them. If there is someone released from contract then I would hope the club would inform their fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
