| Quote Sandra The Terrorist="Sandra The Terrorist"I'm Old Skool.
I like my fullbacks to be solid.
I do enjoy watching Eden play and I think he has an awful lot to offer.
However, his positional play in defence is terrible, he also clearly does not set the defence correctly.
The general opinion is that he's marvellous in attack. I disagree, he's fantastic running in broken play but some of his passing when chiming into the line is as likely to hit row Z as the winger or centre.
People seem to think that Fullback has evolved into a whole new position. I would disagree, the best full backs from years back could always defend ferociously, get into the attacking line, organise the defence and have fantastic pace.
I'm talking about players like Fairburn, Kemble, Jack, Lydon, Hampshire, Radlinski and my own personal favourite, this bloke before he moved to stand off was immense in a test series I watched in the mid nineties, Lockyer.
Positionally perfect, pace, commanding, superb one on one tackler of anybody, had his defence marshalled like Montgogery, scored when he fancied it.'"
Well said Sandra its a pity we can not find one to match any one of them,how about we clone one for the future I will take a clone of lockyer or Fairburn  |

I agree with you , solid first and foremost for mine 
Out of interest, I though hudds had first dibs after 2 years? Am guessing they have declined? |

The Huddersfield story can be one of several, depending on who's version you want to believe
(a) He's still their player, on a 2 year loan to Rovers
(b) We paid a transfer fee for him and they can take him back after 2 years
(c) When his contract expires, they have 1st refusal, IF Eden wants to go there.
(d) Eden has no choice, he will be frog-marched to Fartown and made to go on duel reg at Batley for the rest of his career.

I've come to the conclussion that Eden annoys me. He has undoubted talent when attacking but simply refuses to learn from his mistakes defensively or carrying the ball out of our own half when he does take the kick. Hes also introduced a new facet to his game - panic offloads.

I thought it was quite telling that he had his beer in a plastic pint pot on Monday night. |

As friends and other strangers
From their fates try to resign
Leaving men wholly, totally free
To do anything they wish to do but die
And there are no trials inside the Gates of Eden |
