According to someone who posted earlier, it's the coaches job to get them scoring. It's that simple, so let's just find the best goalscoring coach and give them millions. Going up going up going up!!!!!

I was being facetious, but exactly. They've employed a recruitment team, but seemingly forgot to employ someone competent enough to complete the job.

It wouldn't be pointless if brought in alongside a decent striker. As it is, seems pointless if there's still two donkeys in front of him.

Plenty of "heads" here. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2022/december/19/the-team-behind-the-team-/ But looks like they forgot to appoint a head of getting it over the fecking line.

When you look at the complete picture, it's an absolute shambles. Hirst, a failed signing with much fanfare from our DOF is sent back. BBD signs pre contract - Rovers get nothing. Sorba comes in on loan - on paper looks a good signing IF he can repeat his previous Hudds form. We may or may not be signing a striker on loan - but we don't. Markanday sent out on loan. O Brien linked, then isn't, then is, then isn't. Markanday sent out on loan. O Brien deal back on, he's having a medical... And we're signing him, but maybe not. And we may or may not be signing a youth midfielder. There's pictures of him with a Rovers shirt, but no word from the club. Silence befalls the club.

Waggott's explaining to Gregg that no matter what, everyone will have forgotten this by next month, and how he's been getting away with it since 2017.

Aye, it's not just a problem on the pitch. I imagine Waggott's reaction to the amateurish goings on, is to sip his tea whilst taking a cursory glance at his bank balance.

I got it wrong, I should have said he was on valium.

And when he got Gallagher he thought "valium."

The ones who fell for it last season.

Gregg and Swagg held a committee meeting to see if it ticked all of Venkys boxes. Cheap - check. Potential - check. Dupes fans into thinking we're serious - they bought it last season, check.

No one knows. Waiting to see if they got the paperwork through in time according to our local journo.

A football club hoping they got their homework in on time. And it's a fail regardless.

And that sinking feeling that we haven't really moved on from those days much. If anything, there's less investment now. Bad form of the club for not keeping the fans informed directly.

Approaching 12.30 and still no official word from the club. This is bringing back unpleasant memories of the Kean days.

Even as a midfielder he’s one for the future. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_Brierley

Some fans have been complaining at the lack of goals scored. Can we complain?

The young lad is a midfielder.

Weirdest transfer window in quite a while.

I think PR dept has been sent out on loan too.

Yes where’s Greggs sticker album?

That’s not the point, he has scored this season and without those goals we’d be in trouble. He will probably chip in with more. The main concern is that we’ve got a recruitment team that can’t sign a goal scorer. I won’t fancy our chances with Gallagher and Vale next season.

When Brereton goes we’re a bit fucked really aren’t we.

Sounds spot on to me. Operation “sign loads of midfielders”, still going.

Bizarre to send Markanday on loan. Absolutely bizarre.
