Tom lockyer

J BLOCK

I work with a guy who plays non-league, he's just said we signed his mate Tom lockyer yesterday. Welsh international, Bristol Rovers captain.

A few clubs have been after him, the Rovers fans seem sorry to see him go

5'11 so quite short for a CB

Could he be the first man headed towards 
Charlton Summer 2019 - CONFIRMED Transfers & New Contract Signings

We signed Matt Taylor from Exeter when he was their skipper and POTY.
Good player, nice bloke, great signing at the time.

Swisdom

I know we have very good contact with a scout over that way - based in Plymouth.  Used to be employed by the club but still very much in tact.  I'm seeing his brother at the weekend so will see if I can glean any more if it hasn't broken by then

palarsehater

have asked a mate who's relation plays for bristol rovers, having looked up his stats hes pretty short for a defender 

Ferryman

Is he a right-side centre half? Would compliment or at this rate likely replace Bauer.

chappers

Remember him from the game down there in the game in March. Had a good game and got MOM.

But 2" taller than the best CB of the last 20 years, Fabio Cannavaro.

I assume he's out of contract then as we're surely not paying a fee for another clubs captain?

Yes,  ran his contract down

This was posted on the rumours thread. A few years old but shows he likes to pick out a pass from the back.

Looks like a bowyer/gallen player good on the ball and happy to bring the ball out

This is the sort of player I would be happy with. The better league one players young able to grow with us.

Hopefully he grows to 6'2" or taller. 😁

I would be delighted if we got him. Can play DM as well.

Could perhaps usefully mention the Ruben Lemeiras from Plymouth rumour @Swisdom..

Seems like a smart signing, would not be on too much (certainly less than Bauer)

Swansea have just pocketed £15M, so guess where he will end up.

Probably not Swansea if they've got that sort of money?

Interesting, he (and the club) kept his knee problem quiet

Pick up his fifth yellow at Millwall and have his rest afterwards. We need to spread the suspensions

If Lockyer | Gallagher | Pratley can last another four games without being booked then they'll avoid getting a one match suspension

Five Yellow Cards = suspension is avoided once 19-games have been played

cafcfan1990

I wonder why it’s 19 games, makes more sense to be 23. 

ForeverAddickted

One answer would be because there is a cut off for players on nine yellow cards (to avoid a two game suspension), that'll be after 37-games - If of course a player then ends up with 15-bookings that season there is a further ban

Cant really fit three types of suspensions in if its 23-games to last on 4-yellows / another 23-games to last on 9-yellows
