I dont see why Cantwell wouldnt fit into this current system. He was described as an "enigma" by ParsonBlue but I actually think hes far more hard working than I and seemingly others had portrayed him before he joined.

I also find it strange to see a few speaking as if he is a spare part almost. It is crucial that we keep him, hes still a very important player.

He is very important player for us. He has outstanding this season

I would have thought the way we are set now would be perfect for him. The sooner he’s back the better although Morishita seems to be warming to the role.

Even that is probably being ambitious for the shower in the directors lounge.

They have a shower in the lounge!? Must be for all the cold sweats they got when they saw how they'd ballsed the last transfer window.

I'd say outstanding is pushing it.

Cantwell, Pickering, Pears are above the Pasha line for wages so they will try to sell them if anyone wants them.

O'Riordan and Pratt into the squad means we do not need to spend money - plus bank any fees plus Adam Wharton's £2mn and they have fulfilled their role.

Simples.

Fwiw I actually fancy getting O’Riorden back and playing for Rovers. Looks like he’s kicked on on loan and deserves a chance.

Doncaster are 19th in League 1 and have conceded quite a lot of goals. He may have done well (unsure if a lot are just assuming he has done well or if he genuinely is) but he was nowhere near the first team when he left and no way should he be our main defensive reinforcement to essentially replace Hyam. As another body on top of a new signing, by all means.

Doncasters results have seriously declined since they were in the play off spots in September.  O'Riordans performances have in the main been described by the local press in Doncaster as "solid" (which is a comedown from the first couple of months of the season when he was being described as "exceptional"), and when fit,  he does play pretty much every minute for them, but I would debate just how solid his performances have been given results over the past 2 months

You might as well make some names up. Everyone else does, especially the club.

CM - Rodger the Dodger

LW - Billy Whizz

Billy Whizz used to play for Blackburn College, a million years ago when I was goalkeeper in a very decent side. Alan from Newry, Cointy Doin.

What's Sammie Szmodics up to these days, he wondered out loud, apropos of nothing..

Not a bad shout wonder if he'd come back 🤔
