Think people are being very harsh on our summer window here. Remember JDT and Greg were starting behind due to when they came in - for sure not ever signing has gone to plan but there’s lots to be positive about.
Hirst:0/10 terrible signing and the major failing of the summer. Loan which has been cut short so not to much downside
Mola: 3/10 was always coming in as a squad player, hasn’t made much of an impact aside from a couple of strong performances. But was a cheap loan so hasn’t been to much downside
Morton: 7/10 our fans seem pretty split on him, however he’s clearly a good player who puts in the graft aswell as having quality on the ball. Has made some costly mistakes (eg Wigan away) but that’s normal for a young player. My only issue with him is that he has slightly blocked Garrett and Wharton.
Brittain: 7/10 one of our best players when he’s fit. Great at both RB and Wing back and has the potential to be the best fullback in the league when he is injury free. No doubt in my mind that this will be great longterm signing for us - injury’s have been the only drawback so far.
Smozdicks: 5/10 no doubt we over paid by about 1m. However he’s scored and assisted in some crucial moments, popular in the dressing room, fits JDT style and is a good squad player. You can trust him to do the job. Lacks the quality that the price tag may suggest he should have
Hyam: 10/10 best CB I have seen at Rovers in a long time (perhaps on par with JPVH), always fit and never makes mistakes. Bargain
Id probs give the window and overall 6/10 which considering the cards JDT and GB were dealt is a good effort. There won’t be any excuses this month and next summer though and we will need 8/10 windows if we are to be promoted anytime soon.
Targets have got to be a ST and CM this window. While a winger should also be on the radar with Diaz off in the summer.
+if there is an opportunity for Van Hecke we need to make that happen. Him and Hyam would walk this league.
