At times i find it hard to believe how many fans are happy for Pritchard to leave. I think he has great impact on the pitch and if you look back at his contributions for goals it is very good albeit he probably has more involvement than actual assists but his contribution and how he creates space especially for Clarke i think gets overlooked. Clarke is often more effective when Pritchard is playing and I think that is probably down to how good he is at breaking the lines and creating problems for the opposition. He should probably score more goals and maybe his direct assists are not as good as some but his overall contribution should not be taken too lightly imo

100% incredible tactical mind too. The managers go too, to get instructions across to players. That is a significant contribution and shouldnt be taking lightly, especially given the younger age of our squad.

Cirkin, Hume or Neil could be captains in the long term. Right now we need Batth for another 12 months and I'm glad to see the club and the player seem to feel the same

If we weren't able to sign any more players, for whatever reasons, and we kept Rosco and our current defenders, I'm confident that we would finish in the top 8, at least.

Yes I want another two strikers, a 28 year old seasoned attacking MF and another backup keeper, however, we look good at the moment, don't we?

I also still believe that we will capture a couple of marqee players too....

Imagine having Rosco and Amad for this next season....wow!....top 6?.....AYE!

I completely agree, Prichard is always on the lookout for the pockets of space between the lines and does most of his work there. He is extremely effective and would be a massive miss when we are grinding out results.

I hope Pritch stays but it has been said since January that he wants away for family reasons, I assume that's still the case.

There was a couple on hear that heard things that were convinced he was gone.

The only reservation can be about his endurance. I'd live with that.

He's a cracking player, sees all the game, changes games and helps other players. At our level, near gold dust IMO. He doesn't have to be excellent or even play every game, I'd be very happy if he stayed and if he does he'll gave a good impact

IMO he puts more into his 70 minutes than others do in 90, that'll do for me and obviously Mowbray.

I think he is an amazing player I just think he’s looking increasingly leggy and a bit less of an attacking threat so may decrease further, but him dropping into space and pinging it to our other attacking players is a joy to watch at times. He also draws fouls Gates style because his touch is so good.

Agreed, thats why i think he has a big impact as a sub. If we are winning hes great for coming on and drawing fouls or keeping a hold of it. If we are behind he can link play and create chances.

Im def not against keeping him as hes what i call a proper footballer just dont think hes a week in week out starter anymore

Still a cracking squad player, who could start 1 in 3/4 games then be used off the bench in the other games

I have a feeling that jobe could have a huge impact this season
