Re: Rinomhoto gone

I thought he as one of our best players last season, possibly the best overall.
Sorry to see him go but the right thing to do.

Realistically, how many of last season can we see wanting to stay assuming they have an option to do so?

Re: Rinomhoto gone

Shame that. It's funny, start of last season I may have forgot he was still at the club but I thought he was one of the better performers by the end. Good luck to him.

Re: Rinomhoto gone

perhaps BBM wants to bring in more of a specialist DM to sit in front of the centre backs. as I'm not sure any of our other midfielders really fulfil that role

Re: Rinomhoto gone

So that's everyone gone with contracts expiring. Shame about Rinomhota, now we desperately need a left back.

Re: Rinomhoto gone

Think he was treated very shoddily by the club in his second season here and recovered so well in his final year here that he was voted Player’s Player of the Year. One of very few who can look back on last season with a degree of satisfaction. With Rinomhota and Ralls gone, a squad that was already weak mentally has got weaker.

What is going to be vital is the new manager recruiting players who will be leaders on the field (by example physically and mentally).

It is a shame that a role couldn`t be found for Joe Ralls as he understands what the club is all about. However, it is possible that with the player wages restrictions set by the EFL in League 1 we simply couldn`t offer him an acceptable wage.

He can always come back when he has something to offer the club, as it stands, he doesn't. Probably one of the highest earners and not really contributing, on the slide, he isn't going to improve.

Good player with the right attitude.
He will be missed.

Re: Rinomhoto gone

Shame.

Rinomhota was my Player of the Season last year and one of the few who could hold his head up.

I can see why BBM wants/needs to free up wages and squad places, but Rino must have been a harder decision than most.

Re: Rinomhoto gone

He was a strange signing by Morison who wanted to play out from the back which didn't suit Rino's inability to pass very well. Fair enough, he worked hard and got on with it, but isn't that his job? Thanks, good luck (not that he'll need it - he'll be fine), cheerio.

Me and Mrs Bluebird too. Can't remember the game but he came on and bombed up and down the wing and we thought who are you, why haven't we been playing you?

Very sorry to see you go - good luck

Re: Rinomhoto gone

The more players that leave this current squad the better, the relegation is the proof, being one of the best ,in a crap bunch isn't all that.

O'Dowda is an attacking winger, Bagan is a wildcard for all defensive roles and Giles is young. We need a dedicated left-wing back. And a right-wing back too, if Ng is going.

Re: Rinomhoto gone

I'm not having a go at him and good luck in the future but it's indicative of how shit we were last season when we are saying he is 1 of our best players last season.
We spunked millions last Summer on absolute shite.

Bagan and Giles are backups and ODowda isn't a left back.

Re: Rinomhoto gone

It shows how bad we are when Rino was player of the season when he was poor the previous 2 and ended up going to another club who got relegated.

You can't question is effort last season but let's face it hes not very good is he? Definitely good enough for L1 and id rather him than some of the rubbish we have under contract. However if we want to go up and then kick on then releasing him is the right decision.

Re: Rinomhoto gone

He doesn’t look comfortable in any position he plays. He works hard and gave his all when called upon but let’s get someone better in.

Re: Rinomhoto gone

Our midfield play has been dire for a number of seasons. Rinhomota, whilst a wholhearted player, has partially contributed to that.

BBM, I'm guessing, is going to want technical as well as energetic midfielders.

It will be interesting what happens with Turnbull and Wintle as both are good passers. Also to see what happens with Chambers positionally if he stays.

Chambers-R.Colwill-Robertson would be a pretty good midfield at League 1 level. King-J.Colwill-Turnbull/Wintle pretty good back up.

For those of us who watch the U21's, Cody Twose is a midfielder that I'm sure BBM will love.

We still have a large squad and I'm sure that BBM will add 3-4 of his own type of players; we are in for a very excited interesting 12 months. Did we need to go backwards before we could move forward?

I think Bagan did well whenever he played last season, I wouldn't mind if he was our first choice in L1

100%. I said to my old man a few years ago that we need to go down and rebuild to stop the rot. Hopefully that starts now.

Re: Rinomhoto gone

Everyone getting worked up about the departure of a pretty average journeyman. Rhinomota was okay, and could usually be relied upon to put a shift in, if and when he was selected. Probably on a good wage, and his contract was up. End of story.

Wintle = 5-yard sideways or backwards passes. He's never demonstrated good, incisive passing ability.

Getting worked up is a bit of a stretch isn't it?

Pretty much. Stood out because he was willing to put a shift in and defend like he cared, despite being played out of position. No attacking threat when played at RB and not good on the ball or progressive enough to play in midfield, at least for a Championship or top of L1 team.

Re: Rinomhoto gone

I liked Rino and I think he may have stayed under any of the other managers linked.

BBM has a certain way he wants to play, and I don’t think Rino fits at CM dropping deep and collecting the ball and not good enough at right back in the final third.

Also midfield needs a big refresh so losing nil and Ralls off the wage bill just made sense. Hopefully Wintle, Turnbull to follow.
