If we get a couple of more attacking players in, I wouldn't totally surprised to see a deadline day loan move for Dolan. He's got lots of talent but he's very raw still. I don't think he's ready for first team football at a club challenging for promotion. Hedges to replace Dolan, Healey to replace Armstrong. But 26 year olds from the Scottish league and the second division of French football don't thrill me with confidence.

Unless it's a true CF then I don't see the point in this one. And if we did go up, from what I've read from their fans, he certainly isn't anywhere near good enough for the PL. Definitely. We need an out and out striker who can help to take the goalscoring burden off Brereton, especially ahead of next week ideally. Gallagher is not the best, and the likes of Khadra and Dolan are players that can compliment Brereton well and chip in, but we need another constant source of goals. Markanday is obviously an unknown quantity at this stage who can hopefully have a big impact but again, no track record of goalscoring and he is only slight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have Dolan, Khedra, Gallagher, Markanday, Hedges, and a striker if the rumours we are in for one are true all competing to play alongside Brererton. A goalscorer, centre midfielder, Centre back and sub goalkeeper should be a priority before adding another winger/wide forward imo. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the latter, however it seems to be coming clearer by the day the budget isn't as limited as first made out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neophox Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 With Brereton missing two games we should had got an striker early in january to have two weeks to settle... poor planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need a more natural striker with an eye for goal to reduce the burden on Brereton who is the only one we have who plays in the main 2 attacking positions that scores goals regularly. Plus he is a winger rather than a forward which Markanday seems to be. Would he suit the right sided forward role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think his attitude and work rate will really help the team go up (if we do), ability aside. I think he's played and is playing a part in why this team's successful. I'd 100% keep him around... unless prem standard attackers were to come in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping we can do a lot better than previously linked journeymen like Hedges and Healey though personally. I would hope anyone we are targeting has flown completely under the radar like Markanday until the deal was nearly done. Out and out striker, imposing midfielder and possibly a back up keeper for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healey may be a good player, he didn’t get much of a chance at Cardiff who were in the PL at the time. He was loaned to everyone then MK Dons took him (after another loan) and he scored goals. Then he did the same at Toulouse. Not really a journeyman, he’s only had a permanent contract at 4 clubs since he was a teenager and he’s scored at all of them. I’d prefer Maja I think, but we could do with a decent forward to put a shift in if we’re chasing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also see Armstrong, Brereton, Gallagher, Holtby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roversfan99 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I am not sure that I would have trusted him at all when he first signed in a midfield 2. He certainly has matured as a Rovers player, from impact sub, to wide man, to central midfielder in a 3 that controls games, to a much deeper role in a 2 amidst a formation that protects his weaknesses.

If he was at another club and we signed him we'd be pleased. Time will tell though! The boy needs to be playing games. His confidence is clearly shaken too. I think a loan where he gets consistent playing time would suit him. If we bring in more wide players, he's only going to fall further down the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
