Who posted the info that Reed's girlfriend didn't want to move here and that person was you JH. No one should be writing off any new signing so quickly, certain people have on here or other fan sites have with Szmodics. He needs to play in the role he was bought into to play cos of the style JDT wanted to play. He is pressing number 10. We should be playing like Leeds have in that first half were we are pressing the ball and winning it back high. We have been too deep and lack movement in the final third.

I think we need 4 signings before the end of the transfer window. We need a centre back, centre midfielder and forward at least. Then you have decide whether you second centre back or left back that some people want on here. We have maybe 6 million pounds to spend given from what a couple of people have said on here. We need quality players and no average signings are needed. Its whether the budget will stretch that far as people want. I don't see Morton as a kid as he is experience at PL and CL. Ash Phillips is 17 years old and we shouldn't expect massive things from right now but he should be part of the first team squad here. GB and JDT have always said this project and 2 or 3 years footballing strategy from day 1.

Looks like McCullum and Stokes are again backing Crawley and he will remain in the team for the next test. They both appears to not care what others outside the England set up care to be saying about the situation.

I couldn't say who we get. I could list a few players I would look at to bring in if it my decision if you want me to post them. I agree we want him on permanent deal if we can't do that then we need to move on. JDT said he knows about the player from his time in Holland really? another massive over reaction here. They have massive high hopes for Jake Garrett and Adam Wharton in the coming years so rightly don't want to block that pathway Give the new management team time and some patience please. Let the transfer window at least ends first Rovers will open new contract talks with a fixed fee release clause in it. I did say that Rovers would offer this sort of contract to BBD during a discussion with Roversfan99 Well we did have a head of European scouting in Glyn Chamberlain but Rovers didn't renewed his contract and he left here. It's appears that Greg Broughton and Gus Williams want that role back within the scouting network now. We still have our European Scout in Bruno Reis at the club(according to his LinkedIn profile) so we can still be looking into that market.

Not what we need is average players but quality players who will improve the team but also get a boost to the squad and its morale which look low after yesterday game.

Firstly Ricky I said I wanted 5 or 6 signings this summer. So your first point is wrong so please stop stirring the point and causing conflict on here. Secondly when you want quality players sometimes you have to wait. Can't over paid for them. Don't want rush signings or average players.

Got the result right not the scoreline tho

Hopefully we can bring in 2 signings in the coming days. One being a centre back for sure 1000% agreed there

Very open and honest assessment of the game from JDT.

2 nil now

Phillips off Morton on

Dolan on for Szmodics

Travis goes close to score

we only appointed JDT and GB about 2 months ago. time to judge and comment is after the transfer window ends IMO

I am fully aware of team today and the bench thanks. But we don't rush signings

very good save by Kaminski

The club is not failing JDT currently, but the championship transfer market is slow currently if you look at the whole transfer market. We have budget and we can't just over pay for players. 12 days to go and we need around 4 signings. Van Der Berg deal is waiting for Liverpool defensive crisis to get better before they release him. If you want quality signings sometimes patience is needed and I rather we waiting then just sign players who we don't want really or rushing signings for the sake of it

Well I hope Rovers proved you wrong. I think it will 1-1 draw we don't play with wingers in the first place anyway when playing 4-2-3-1 formation anyway

I'm not surprised that JDT has gone 5 at the back. Lets get that clean sheet and with BBD, Gallagher and Szmodics we can get that goal. We got to be solid as rock today

Yes he has. He is there with the squad but not in the 18 man squad.

bench is Pears, Rankin-Costello, Markanday, Morton, Dack, Dolan, Vale.

He is at Brammall Lane and with the Rovers squad. Video posted in the match day thread to prove this
