Ballroom Blitz - Sweet

WOW!

Do we know the first two sentences for certain? Or is this just what Nixon says, so you’re believing it?

"Of course we are ready." Have I been following a different club for 15 years? We will see come next week how ready we were.

Not playing is not playing - do all the training in the world but it’s not the same as actually playing competitive football - no loss to us at present at all

The Drifters - Sweets For My Sweet

Not playing for a team that finished as one of the top teams in the MLS (semi final of their convoluted league system) is a considerably higher level than playing in the National League North, and Pratt has done fine. Duru will of course have been training That said, I don't think Rovers hold any option re Duru, San Diego had the option to extend his loan regardless of what Rovers wanted, and they also hold an option to make it permanent should they wish

Hasn’t played in 3 months wouldn’t be much use to us

Seems a bit odd not getting Leo Duru back from his loan in MLS with Alebiousu away.

apparently we`ve put in a bid for cleary,a 6 figure fee,which in rovers terminology means £100,000,unsurprisely,barnsey have turned it down😁

Depends whether troubles at home with the chicken business have any influence

Of course we are ready. We are putting bids in for players. The research has been done People slammed for us not getting bids in early in the window. We are yet we still complain.

Whatever signings are made, they need to add at least 10 more goals to the side over the rest of the season, either directly or assists. Failure to do this, and we're in the mire.

Our goal could be a Litherland shot deflecting past the keeper off Henrikson's backside. Henrikson to score. But they'll get 3

Or Pickering up front? It worked last time.

on the barnsley forum

Seeing we Ohashi as only recognised striker wonder if we have a slight change of system and play a midfield diamond. Something like... Pears Miller. McLoughlin. Pratt Tronstad Litherland. TGH. Baradji. Hedges Cantwell Ohashi

Ismael will want players in early, but he won’t get them. It still amazes me that grown adults believe what Nixon says tbh. They must still believe in The Easter Bunny too….

If we do get clearly, then I think it would be a pretty solid signing. 11ga for a mid table Barnsley side ain’t too bad. He’ll be ready to start as well.

Ready to make sure we dont sign anyone but at least we tried.

Nixon is hit and miss at best. Granted he has several right but got a lot wrong as well. Im 5 stone over weight and Id fancy my chances in a sprint with Miller. Wharton has a mistake a game in him, Carter probably a mistake every two games I'm afraid but both Carter and Wharton are injury prone. IMO Carter is the better player when both are on form and fit. Our great manager complained about the amount of injuries our players suffer and he would sort it out. So far this has got worse not better. If you giving anyone a free transfer it would be our fitness dept.

Tbh we have been failed a million times I don’t blame the narrative but this surely is an overreach on being negative are we ready with a list of players (as usual yes) but going by your theory most clubs aren’t ‘ready’ as if they were then there would never be a rejected bid ever because as you say the buying club hasn’t done any planning at all but of course we both know most if not all clubs have numerous bids rejected for players in every window so again rightfully be sceptical but also a bit nonsensical at the same time

Dont talk rubbish. We have our "top spy" on the job.

That happens everywhere and would be naive to suggest it doesn't. If Rovers were as ready as they claimed, then they would know if the player wanted to join, and what the fee would be for him. If they have had a bid rejected, it shows they haven't really done any planning at all.

Yep, we've heard all this guff about wanting players in early before. Always fools a few into thinking we're serious about doing something.
