It's frightening when you think how far my former club Bristol Rovers have fallen. I was gutted when I left them in 2009, but one of the main reasons I did that was because they were building a team for the Championship. I left them as a very comfortable League One side, so to see them joining us down in the Conference next season will be tough. It's hard to take as an ex-player, especially one that does care about the place and someone who had good years there. My lad's a Bristolian so I've got to look out for them haven't I? But when you look at it, it's a long season and statistically they were one of the worst two teams in League Two – that's why they find themselves where they are. I've no doubt they'll sign some good players this summer and they'll be a threat next year. Just like we saw with Luton this season, Rovers will command some big crowds and will regularly have 5,000 or 6,000 a week, which brings its own pressures."

Shame he signed a new deal at Grimsby. Would be good to see him back in the Blue and White shirt. He has the experience at this level!
 
He was one of the best and we should never have got rid of him, particularly as we were building for the Championship... just remind me what happened next...??
 
A very good box-to-box midfielder who always gave his all. We used to have players like Dis and Cambs running our midfield - how we could have done with them this season!
