Was the club release re players signing contract extension an April Fool or real. If it's real, that's great news Real - mentioned at the AGM. albionroversfc.com/fab-five-alex-adam-bright-barry-and-josh-sign-new-deals/Albion Rovers are delighted to confirm that Alex McCaw, Adam Fernie, Bright Prince, Barry Duncan and Josh Tran have all penned new deals! Fernie, who made his 100th Rovers appearance earlier this campaign, has been part of the league’s meanest defence, conceding only 29 goals so far in our 30 matches so far. In midfield, Duncan has popped up with a number of cracking goals and produced key moments all season long, with his latest a wonderful free-kick against Cumbernauld Colts. Wide-men McCaw and Tran have both impressed and have come on leaps and bounds since the season start. Finally, up top, Prince has popped up with a number of crucial goals and he is set for strong return. They join goalkeeper Ross Connelly in signing on for next season as manager Sandy Clark and assistant George Paterson begin to shape how our squad will look next campaign. “We’re really pleased to have the guys on board again for next season,” boss Sandy Clark said speaking at the recent AGM. “Planning for next year is very much underway and we are continuing to talk to other players that are already here and at other clubs. We know what we are after.”

I agree with all of them and no one else leaps out at me as deserving of the offer. Unless the gaffer has some young up and coming talent I'm not aware of.

Sorry thought Niyah had already been offered one.

Really positive to have the basis of a squad signed up before the end of the season. Means the closed season can be used to bring in quality rather than quantity as is usually the case with Rovers (and most teams at our level).
I believe Niyah and a couple of others have been offered deals but are taking a bit more time to consider their options.

Apart from the benefit of having a bit of a squad going into the Summer, as Sam says, another is that the players should be the better of having a season under their belt, and that is important in the development of young players.

Would be lucky to play league 2. I personally won't be bothered either way if he stays or goes.

Remember Brian Reid tried to play Jamie Leslie up front as well last season .If we had Niyah I’m pretty certain we wouldn’t be playing LL football. I get why he gets criticism as he can be frustrating but he does know the road to goal and has scored some high quality goals in the process and also missed a tonne of chances, all part of a striker’s make up IMHO.

I’m one of his biggest critics, (just ask Ben G), and he is a frustrating player to watch but 30 goals in all competitions is a pretty good return for a striker and given that most good strikers are greedy so and so’s then I suppose I have to give him some slack. Mind you for a striker I’m surprised he wants to take corners and free kicks.. thought his predatory instincts would be better in the box

Wow amazing how my post has hit a nerve. Not overly criticised him either. Just think he's not that amazing and I also don't think he's that bad.

It’s all about opinions ,was interested to see if you would back up your argument . Scott Roberts who played the vast majority of his games with Rovers last year in the strikers role scored zero goals. Do you think Niyah (with all his faults) is a better striking option this year?

Not sure what Scott Roberts has to do with anything. He wasn't that good and that's partly why we are relegated. Nor do I think Niyah is overly amazing which is partly why we are a mid table team amongst the LL mob. It's my opinion. You have yours.
