Why did it take 30 days to push the button?

Haha you know why 

Let's just be grateful they did it at 30 days not 31+23hrs like the last couple of years.

So who did he want instead that he didn't get?

Karagbo and Ribeiro look class in the making 

[Plastics]

I hope he fulfills the early promise. Always a chance he plays in bursts and gets a bit lost as a game goes on with players like this but everything I've seen looks good so far. Confidence, pace and a bit of fire

[philipl]

Those pumping arms are going to be adding awkwardness to the pace defenders have to face. His set-up for Dolan's goal also showed signs of great spacial awareness and quick eye to boot execution. Let's hope it wasn't a fluke.

Who did he want? We know Dembele was one, but of the players mentioned above, the ones that have signed all seem to be turning out ok as it stands. Obviously very early days on Kargbo and Ribeiro...but Ohashi has been a good signing, Gueye has turned a corner and is now looking like he has the makings of a proper centre forward, Danny Batth is probably in the top 3 for players of the season. I've no doubt Mostafa would've been good, while Germain would've been a bit like Gueye and Ohashi as a complete unknown.

We rightly give the club stick about how things are done and the way the club is being run, but recruitment this season at least appears to have been ok in terms of the quality of players. The obvious criticism is that the club seem to take an age to do anything and there are too many players brought in on short term deals.

Anyway, back to Kargbo...love the look of this guy already. The more I watch Dolan's goal, the better Kargbo looks. Direct and quick, just what we need.

And unselfish too. A player like that, cutting inside and not being closed down, trying to make a name for himself. Perfect team play

Let's be honest, this one especially was nonsense and was never going to happen.

It was Crimpshire's reference. He is the music expert. I hadn't a scooby either!

We don't talk about Kargbo, no, no, no,

We don't talk about Kargbo!

 

Tough start to his Rovers career for the Sierra Leonean. 

6 starts, 10 substitute appearances. zero goals, two assists.

Confidence in the gutter, another costly mistake last night.

 

Is he Semir Telalovic 2.0?

Edited 4 hours ago by rog of the rovers

[MarkBRFC]

Doesn't make much difference, but he has two assists rather than one.

One against Plymouth at Ewood for Dolan last season, and one against Hull for Hedges this season.

A rubbish footballer who's main asset is meant to be his pace.

He has looked slower than me this season.

Absolute dog shit.

[Staffordshire Rover]

If you are not going chase the ball down when you lose it then you shouldn’t wear the shirt. Thats the basics we expect from our players, don't get me started on his ability because he is way off a Championship footballer 

[Trinidad Rover]

Completely out of his depth. End of.

[davulsukur]

He was a 1 trick pony that was quickly found out in a game, he'd then fade out of the game completely.

Now he doesn't even attempt to use his pace and has become incredibly lazy.

AK47?

More like a water gun with a leak.
