Most games aren’t comparable really just because some fans would be happy or settle for a point away from doesn’t mean they would be happy with the point at home. Some context is required itl depend on availability of players form of both teams quality of opposition dare I say it weather and teams footballing style way too simplistic to say would we be happen then just because some are saying a point away to millwall wouldn’t be a bad result

I don’t think this is our best squad from we got relegated wouldn’t even say it’s in the top 3 tbh

Hopefully tomorrow we can break the recent transfer deadline post match hoodoo After transfer window result 2020 summer window Lost to forest 1-0 at ewood 2021 jan window Lost to qpr 1-0 away 2021 summer window Drew with Luton 2-2 ewood 2022 jan window Lost to swans 1-0 away 2022 summer window Lost to Bristol 3-2 ewood 2023 jan window Drew with Wigan 0-0 ewood 2023 summer window Lost to Plymouth 3-0 away 2024 jan window Lost to qpr 2-1 ewood 6 losses 2 draws in last 8 windows

So hopefully now those adamant that we wouldn’t get deals done can move on to something else now 👍

I would hope now with a bit of depth it changes and it’s based on opposition and whether we are home/away at ewood you would be looking at more attacking options away from home maybe a baker in with trav and tronstad game by game for me as it should be long gone are the days especially in a 46 game season where the same 11 are put out each game

My main point on the opinion is it’s based off selective YouTube clips which I would t put down as a fair assessment of any player that’s the main point I’m making

You must have don’t blame you though as there’s a lot of nonsense which pushes the pages up a lot within the last couple of days there was a good 3/4 pages back discussing nyambe

Nope for clarity your opinion was balanced but as you responded it seems you feel my response was in direct response to you it wasnt there are many accounts on here stating the keeper IS going to be a dud by looking at a YouTube clip there are accounts on here stating the Fulham winger is another Dolan he isn’t fast we don’t need him based on YouTube clips It’s all a matter of opinion of course but it with the degree of certainty people post makes me laugh

My in-possession game is one of my strengths, along with my shot-stopping. The manager wants me to play mixed football – really nice from the back, but also know if there are advantages further up the pitch that playing one ball into the final third is better. rushworth quotes - doesn’t mention catching crosses either.

Least I won the bet I see you have now moved on to ‘meaningful signings’ when you said none would be through the door nice dodge lol

You’ll be waiting a long time

Forums are all about opinions and mine is that I’d trust proven scouts regarding players than us watching YouTube videos that only show highlights works both ways as mentioned before wonder kids tearing it up and end up not that good

Isn’t it amazing how we have so many on the forum here that have now turned into super scouts based on YouTube clips yous are wasted folks

Fulham rejected 8 million and you think we can get him lol

That’s not carlsberg that’s two bottles of vodka fulham rejected 8million for stansfield

As would just stating what Oxford have said is the price our recruitment team clearly didn’t fancy dembele

Oxfords own reporters and papers have dembele at just over 1million rising to 1.5 not sure how Elliot would know given it isn’t rovers related

He can’t get into the Stoke team based on how they play it would be similar to JDT style with us so doubtful we would have went for him under JDT we play differently he is a very good player on his day great a set pieces scores a lot from outside the box and given it’s a loan (then free in summer) it’s an excellent addition and competition in the middle don’t go off fans opinions as you’ve seen in here one fan says one thing about a player the next fan says the opposite

Dembele went for 1.5 I’m reading keskinen an unknown and ended up in Scotland - remember this forum being in uproar when vente went to hibs - he’s been shocking but your general point is correct about lack of investment but is anyone really that surprised been the same for years now

That would be counter productive unless they are replaced and given it’s now deadline day don’t think that’s a reasonable option. We need a decent squad as many have mentioned here before with the long season - 3 game weeks - injuries - suspensions some players need to accept certain roles manager also can’t churn out the same 11 every game we need more on top of who we have got now not ones out the door

Agree with this he doesn’t fit the high press profile that Schumacher likes theres a decent player in there if he can be kept off the injury table

Travis isn’t going anywhere baker is/was the ‘additional’ cm that JE was after

Cantwell hasn’t kicked a ball in 4/5 months imagine the uproar on here if he was to come on and to go off injured

Like what?

Whilst we have history of messing up transfers it will be interesting to see some certain accounts on here who are/were adamant these deals won’t get done (if they get done) be a good read
