    Really? In hindsight, I'd have probably kept Lalkovic due to our lack of width. Not too bothered about the other two.

    Only Ramage looked decent, but I wouldn't replace any of our 3 current centre halves for him.

    Lalkovic did all the hard work but never delivered with an end product. Reckon Harris is a better prospect.

    Bailey was bang average and I don't get all this clamouring to bring him back. No wonder he's playing in the Indian league which at present, is probably no better than league 2.

    Indian League isn't better than the Conference, maybe even one of the south/north leagues

    He's playing in the Indian league for financial reasons. It has nothing to do with ability. Better player than Pearson.

    Lalkovic was dreadful.

    Ramage was past his best when we got him & injuries have ruined him

    Bailey looked good in games where we were in control. If we weren't on top he was absolutely useless.

    Ramage was a good player and a great pro but constantly injured.

    Lalkovic was mediocre and the type of player that shouldn't be in the starting XI if we're looking to progress. I'd have kept him as a useful squad player, but if his wages were inconsistent with that role then I can understand the decision to get rid and spend those wages elsewhere.

    James Bailey was woeful for Barnsley no where near Pearson.

    His interests are more focused in the night clubs he Co owns abroad rather than his football.

    Not particularly bothered about any of them though to be fair Lalkovic is getting good reviews at a club near the top of the table so can't be all bad.

    Lalkovic has barely played in last month or so.

    Bailey better than Pearson? **** me. I know we've lost a couple but that is taking the biscuit.

    Pearson's had it easy. Always in a 3 man midfield with Scowen at the side of him doing loads of work.

    Bailey was on his own in there for months whilst we played a diamond & then in a midfield 2 with Hourihane.

    Pearson's had it a lot easier & been no better in my opinion. This last two home games are the only times I've been impressed with him
