If I were in charge I'd do the following: Sell: Tavares De Neve Pears Barrett Garrett Gueye Hedges Pickering Kargbo Offer new deal Tronstad Sign LWB CB CM ST LW

Have you seen him play? If yes when and who against?

O'Riordan has been recalled by Rovers. Doncaster boss confirmed this today. Pleased by this

He's a class player and one of the best RWB's in this league for sure when he keeps up the consistency. Anyone pretending otherwise is just bitter revisionism although we've certainly been fortunate with a good replacement.

You're literally ruining the thread by taking it over with content that's not constructive or productive.

getting the chuckle brothers (deneve,tavares and henrikson) off the payroll and replacing them with a few competent ones would be a good transfer window imo,even if we use the academy it would still be an improvementim`e not expecting this to happen though the phrase "signifcent investment" will no doubt be branded about as we sign a past it winger,a useless centre forward on loan and a potentially excellent midfielder who we actually don`t land because of paperwork issues,basically more of the same shite we`ve had for the last half dozen january windows,there is nothing to suggest this year will be any different

Give it a week and Nixon will have him signing for Man U again

Continual down grading of playing staff for starters

Many supporters of this Club are like Dogs chasing their tail. All about themselves,nothing else matters..cant/wont see the bigger picture. So damn disappointing,you do get to a point thinking why bother? A dead Duck in the Water.

He's just manic energy when he comes onto the pitch. If "uncultured midfielder" was a descriptor then that would be him 😆 he's not anywhere close to the biggest of our problems in fairness, I just wish we'd been a lot smarter last summer.

I disagree. We have to start somewhere and it at least brings the concerns over the owners and management firmly into the spotlight. Plus the take up might be better than anticipated, we won't know until we try. And if it isnt so what? It's only the first step in what is likely to be a very protracted process.

I still hold out a feint hope for Henriksson Think if we hold on to him, he will be an excellent goalscoring midfielder in League 1 in a year or 2, and will kick on from there 😉

On what?

Alarm bells with who? Still plenty of cut backs to be made yet.

You're right, I was thinking of another post where I conflated Miller, Alebiosu & McLoughlin's fees, and indeed it is Euros rather than pounds. With that said, we still could have got a very good Championship CB for €3.5m - even if a chunk of that was add-ons and bonuses. I'd have taken that over three useless players.

3-0 to the smoggies, to end the year on a sobering note. No way for Rovers' run away from home to continue, against a proper footballing side, in a stadium filled with passionate and knowledgeable football fans (from the North West as well as North East), and the prospect of very different ends to the campaigns of either side, with 180 degree separation of trajectories... Rovers Riverside Rout? Smoggies 3 Rovers 0 Riverside Reverse Revelation? Boro 0 Rovers 3 Realistic Result Reflecting Resources? Smog Operators 2 Tommy Balls 0 However, COYB! & of course, odious VENKYS OUT!

Based on the comments from Boro fans on twitter, that sounds like it may have been a one off. I think that as Alebiosu has been much better than any of us could have hoped or expected, some of us have forgotten just how good Brittain is Edit - I am not knocking Alebiosu, and he probably fits our current system at least as well, and possibly better than Brittain

Been a couple more in The Times/Sunday Times too recently in a similar, ‘Christ, how good is this lad?’ vein. Still, least we got a similar fee to Tyler Morton and only ten million behind Jobe.

I asked my mate who's been ill if he'd be boycotting the Watford game and he said No because he didnt think it would make any difference. I strongly disagree on that, there can't have been more than 7k on on Saturday as it was. The Club will be aware of the real numbers and alarm bells will surely be ringing already, not so much for this season maybe but certainly with a view to season ticket renewal time. If numbers reduce any further for the Watford game that will be pretty noticeable on the eye and if it carries over into a collapse in season ticket sales, that will very much force their attention imo.

Yeah, agreed - his kicking has been suspect and I can recall a handful of occasions in recent games where he's kicked it directly out for an opposition thrown-in, under no pressure. Pears has done fine, but Toth will come back in as the number 1 when he's fit, as he's a far superior GK.

I imagine Pasha's jaunt to India is just a case of him taking stock and perhaps agreeing a 'strategy' for January (which probably involves a further round of cost cuts and wage reductions with a portion of the proceeds being allowed back into the squad. Suggestions that he's been summoned in response to performance/unrest likely to be well wide of the mark - more likely it will be bonus time for a jolly job well done in bringing in more cash whilst capping the wages. There's no evidence going back over 15 years that these people have a shred of interest or will act over trivial matters like league position, results, collapsing attendances or fan unrest.

Piece on the BBC site ahead of Palaces cup game with Arsenal this eve https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/clyx6q9y8wpo

Played 19 (soon to be 21) Tests under Bazball against India and Australia, won 6. There was nothing results wise under this regime that pointed to any new dawn. The Root era ended in a poor way, scared, negative cricket. However, this lot have just over-corrected, they still don’t win against the big boys.

Bristol City beat Boro 2-0 in their last game, not because Bristol were brilliant but because Boro were distinctly ordinary. Brittain in particular was nothing like the player he was for us.

I don't think you can accuse Chaddy of not being loud enough.
