Pratt and McLoughlin don't have a good pass unfortunately. Hopefully Cashin is better in that regard. Still should be back of the queue, there are other areas on the pitch where we are severely lacking in quality.

I think @MarkBRFC's suggestion that we'll sign Mullin is looking more and more likely. They'll just wait a little longer to avoid maximum backlash.

We should've had at least two more signings by now. Nicko saying on X we're 'Trying to find an experienced striker ... and more'. Trying...

Do you have a source? Don’t think that’s the case, I believe it was a rule put in place more for African youth players and such.

I’m glad you’re not the coach.

What's his strong point exactly?

That's because he isn't good enough. He hasn't produced the good, whether it be off the bench or as a starter. He's useless in the press and keeps making silly fouls. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

He loses a lot of aeriel duels against shorter defenders and can't finish at all with his legs. He's also missed a lot of clear-cut chances with his head so I think he can score up to a certain level then it stops completely.

I think that big smile is a bit of a front. He has underperformed even by his own standards and let his teammates and fans down by not training how he should as a professional footballer.

No secret that things had gone tits up by the time JDT left, but then Eustace galvanised the team. Dressing room totally different now, but don’t think that’s our biggest concern atm.

David Lowe?

Not easy to get rid of him if his current coach doesn't put him in the matchday squad because he doesn't put in enough effort in training. He's looked unfit every game he's come on, and must be a bad egg in the dressing room environment too. Who would take him?

Mullin lacks both pace and power, so you're probably on to something, Mark.

Alebiosu has been our main outlet so far and is sorely missed, so I hope we wait until the summer before letting him go. But (the biggest of ifs) if we can replace him with a fairly solid youngster on loan full of running, and a striker that knows where the net is, then we might not be worse off. We desperately need some pace combined with skill in our team.

They're probably trying to get an auction going for Gueye, with the current highest bidder a lot lower than they had hoped for. Plus goalposts move quickly in the transfer market when you see what other clubs are asking for their players. I think if we're offered £5m for Alebiosu then we'll sell and try another cheap option at RWB plus strengthen the forward line. I don't know the ins and outs of negotiating but I would be pretty annoyed if we end up paying Barnsley what they want. I think most on here agree that we could've spent the £7m we spent on Brereton a lot more wisely than we did. But that was the era of the 'marquee signings', and that era is long gone it seems.

We wasted a wage on Forshaw so I hope we’re not tempted into trying to sign a player like Beck who will spend more time on the treatment table than on the pitch. Should be a big summer clear-out no matter what happens this window. The fact that Gueye is still in the building tells me there aren’t many takers. Hope we can get rid of Pickering and Ribeiro as well, if we’ve decided to persist on the current system.

They’ll implement VAR sooner or later in the Championship as well.

Never in a million years was that a pen. Thought the referee had a poor game overall but the two teams on the pitch were pretty poor as well. Luckily we have a player in Baradji that can make things happen, great leap for the first and a good run into the box for the second. A draw was the least we deserved. Now it's time for Gestede to bring the goods or face the sack.

Fair point but Tyjon isn’t ready to step in the mess we’re in. Also, Rovers don’t want to lower Tyjon’s market value by telling it how it is.

What role does Cantwell play in the team other than slowing things down?

Pears made it difficult for us. Think we were after another dull 0-0 game and onto the next one but the players and manager didn’t show up for this one.

Hopefully he can play out wide on both flanks, fill in as striker/second forward and in the pocket, if needed. Not sure how he’ll fit in our current formation, no.

Quite excited about the prospect of us signing Reyes Cleary. Quick, direct and with good close control - plus there's more potential to unlock and resale value. Hope we spend on a striker as well, we need players in and around the box willing and able to score goals. Think we will probably look at someone who has lost their way a little and wants a move, or could be another loan if the club feels that Joseph (or someone else) are ready for a role in the first team squad from next season.

Please don't buy, I entered the ballot for the £80 shirt. 😉

Bannan has shit players around him but was the only player that made anything happen for the home side on the odd occasion. It was a piss poor game throughout. Expecting Gueye to leave ASAP.
