Guest Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 2 hours ago, Stuart said: Do you work for the government in their Coronavirus reporting team because they are some very selective stats. Mowbray has taken 700 games to reach those wins - including at Celtic where it’s the easiest job in the world (yet he failed) and L1 with the biggest budget. Let’s compare their records in this division. Hughton. 108 wins out of 206 games. 52% Overall 1.86 PPG. Mowbray. 131 wins out of 328 games. 40%. Overall 1.46 PPG. These two big wins are going to buy Mowbray a heck of a lot of time. You’ve misunderstood. My point was that stats are irrelevant when comparing managers. That’s been explained.

If that was followed up by the news that Stoke had come back in and were waving cash at us for Evans then it would almost be a case of "If Carlsberg did transfer windows......." Bit to go before we get to that point though. Don't know that much about Whiteman, but do know Evans is an international, been involved in past premier league promotion, and was a big part of our 6 wins out of 7 last year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has 1 collective team. Kaminski was scouting for months by our scouts. A lot of specific inside knowledge there Chaddy.

That's my impression as well, that he's not ruthless enough where they're concerned. I was merely responding to the suggestion that Whiteman and the manager didn't hit it off at interview. Maybe he got the "you'll only be coming in as a squad member" spiel. Mulgrew HAS been rotting since August 2019 hasn't he?

They should both be playing. The thought of Travis, Dack, Holtby, Whiteman, Rothwell and Johnson as our options in midfield has me salivating. Throw Buckley in the mix too - excellent. (Evans can go) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Evans can go) Where do you fit Holtby, Dack, Travis and Whiteman into a midfield three without feeling like your not utilising one of them? Not forgetting Bradley Johnson’s great start to the season too. I like Whiteman and he’d be a good investment especially with Trav injured, just don’t know how we’ll line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I know nothing about Whiteman but who’s place does he take in the midfield? I don’t think we’ve looked weak in the Centre of the park although Johnson is getting older I guess. I’m still not convinced that CM is a problem area unless we are losing someone.

Craigman Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Maybe with the current climate and no fans in grounds at the moment, therefore financial problems, Doncaster need the money now, so we have offered enough to get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to move on from Evans IMO. You could count on one hand the number of good games he has a season and it feels like he’s only fit for max 50% of our games. I’d sell him tomorrow if we signed Whiteman. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBRFC Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I still cling onto Stoke coming in for Evans before the deadline. Davenport could do with a loan spell somewhere to play some games, I don't think he has started for us yet in over two years has he? That could potentially leave us with midfield options of - Holtby, Rothwell, Johnson, Buckley, Travis & Whiteman for 3 spots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks Rover Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 57 minutes ago, J*B said: I don’t understand how it works but his brother works at BAE and has told everyone Whiteman is coming to Rovers. Supposedly Mowbray was with him on Monday. Can we even sign players still? Not true. Who's brother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyB Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Not sure how much truth there is to this since Whiteman played for Donny last night in the EFL Trophy. Surely if he’d already met with Mowbray and ‘everything was signed’ then he wouldn’t still be turning out for them - especially in a fairly meaningless game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please can you point out these 6 out of 7 wins that he was a big part of? Best run I can find is 6 wins in 8 - and he only played in 4 of those.

Sparks Rover Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 No, his brother is only 16 and definitely doesn't work at BAE.... From what i know, this isnt happening. We can't afford him as of 24 hours ago. Staying at Doncaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
