Dreams of 1995 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 1 minute ago, Garage Flower said: I’ve heard from a good source Mowbray is a fan of Jon Taylor at Rotherham. He doesn’t think we’ll bid on him in January because he’s been injured though. Says he’ll be back by Boxing Day so fit to play us. What do people think to him? I think we have been linked with him before. I think it shows he is looking in the winger department which is good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldgregg86 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Honestly never heard of him but then again I'd never heard of Richie Smallwood and he is the king of ewood now so hopefully the Rotherham connection Is a lucky one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was one of there better players in the championship last season as well. Be a great signing if we pulled it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garage Flower Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I got the impression we wouldn’t be bidding for him in January. Maybe one for the summer if we go up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenRover Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Jack Byrne hitting form for Oldham. Pity we didn't get more out of him. He has great potential. Wonder would he be a thought for January. More legs than Whittingham and he is getting on the scoresheet regularly for Oldham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue blood Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Oldham haven't half done a complete about turn in terms of form since getting rid of the old manager. Shows how much can be done with limited players in this league. My shopping list in January would be a hard man centre back, another physical player in cm then perhaps cover for the flanks in defence and midfield. 2 destroyer types and an attacking full back would see me happy in Jan.

Oldgregg86 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 What about a cheeky bid for Dan burn at Wigan. 6 ft 7 centre back good solid defender at this level and grabs the odd goal. Only 25 so potential return on him as well as derailing wigans promotion aspirations. Thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboy3333 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I think Mowbray has said he's just after attacking options in the Jan window. With Lenihan returning we will have another option in both defence and midfield. It's cover/competition for the likes of Dack and a replacement for Conway/Chapman we need.

That reads as though you think we need six players in January. I dont think we need too much if Tomlinson can be integrated into the squad and Chapman comes back fit on the right at some point. A left footed version of Chapman and cover/competition for Dack maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV Blue Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 We need a proper midfielder to go next to Smallwood and possibly another fullback or winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butty Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Need someone proven at this level who can come in and play alongside Smallwood and do the dirty work with him. Evans is injured more often than not. Whittingham seems to slow the play down and he doesn't have the legs. Tomlinson has a lot of potential but is unproven, Harper doesn't seem ready for first team football yet. Lenihan can play in there but as solid as Downing has been I can see Lenihan going in at centre half alongside Mulgrew when he's back from injury. So yeah a Centre mid should be our priority for me. Once Chapman is back Chapman Dack and Antonsson/Bennett behind Graham/Samuel would do damage. We're doing damage as it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 9. Centre half, central midfield, 2 full backs, 2 wingers, 2 "destroyers", and another full back who can attack. Strange to want so many new faces for a team that is seemingly on the up.

Roverthechimp Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Don't expect any signings in Jan and for me that is fair enough. If money were no object: cover/starter at CB, RB, cover/starter RM/wing and cover/starter CM. Pretty much in that order. Would rather promote our own where possible even if money was available - possible exception CB as i think we need a leader if Mulgrew gets injured.

philipl Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 My shopping list for January is keep dack and Mulgrew. Also Lenahan tweeted yesterday he will be match fit in two weeks so add him to the list as well. Anything else is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddyrovers Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Keep all key players. Pacey winger and maybe a centre back. Wouldnt look for a centre midfielder as we got Tomlinson coming through unless a good player is available and we get rid of either Evans or send Harper back to WBA.

Blue blood Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 To clarify I meant 3. Perhaps not that well worded. A couple of battlers - although with lenihan coming back perhaps 1 would suffice and a versatile player who could cover both the full back slots. Apologies this wasn't worded so well - didn't realise poor wording would constitute such a fuss or count as slating the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another medium that doesn't work well written down. I thought that your post was funny. A team now winning needs a complete overhaul. It was a bit like Monty Python's "what have the Romans done for us" bit in the Life of Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
had.e.nuff Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I feel we should be making Paul Downing a permanent signing in January , and if we go up he would still be good cover in the championship and we could shift Ward out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevidgeBlue Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Great point. I'd forgotten Downing was only on loan. Signing him permanently and trying to offload Ward should be a priority. Imo with the exception of Mulgrew most of our higher earners are our worst performers. If there is no movement either way it wouldn't be a complete disaster but, in an ideal world, having managed to shift Lowe in the summer, I'd be looking to move out one or two more of our underperforming overpaid players like Ward/Graham/Conway/Bennett/Evans and bring in people who put in a much better shift in in day in day out week in week out like Downing Smallwood and Dack.

chaddyrovers Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Wouldnt be getting rid of Bennett or Conway at all. Was Conway 1st game back yesterday. So hard to judge him after injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
