2 wingers and a left back? this transfer window? Surely we are far better using Chapman and Rankin Costello until of the end of the window. Plus we have Rothwell and Downing that can played and I assume Gallagher will until end of the season. If we are looking towards next season squad and the transfers need to make a competitive squad next season. Yes we will need 2 keepers, 2 centre backs, 1 right back, a left back maybe 2 if we don't sign Bell up or but one in this window, Possible a winger, 1 centre midfield. So that's it possible 8 or 9 signings in the summer

seem to be looking towards that market. Wonder if we have hired a scout from that region recently? How many times have we used this agency during our transfers in the last 18 months and haven't we used over 10 different player's agent agencies?

I would to prefer Dack if he wants to go when he returned from his injury and Rovers need to sell him to meet FFP requirements and keep our good young players like Rankin Costello, Buckley plus these centre backs coming through. We seem to have some very decent young players coming through who are centre backs. I think Buckley will develop in a very good passing midfielder in the future. He has the talent and skills as you can see from his appearances for the club already. I've watched the Under 23's a fair few times and Rankin Costello, Buckley, Travis and Butterworth always Stood out. Every time I've seen him he played right wing back and right wing. Never seen in Centre mid

Now Baston was signed 3 and half years and never set the place on fire. Ayew was signed 2 years ago. Both signed when Swansea was PL club and could pay those fees in transfers and wages. I have enjoyed watching O'Neill teams for a while. They are always very well drilled and organised. He has made Stoke solid at the back This is Brewster 1st loan outside Liverpool football club, so lets calm down before we go OTT.

Well Swansea sold 2 players for over 30.million pounds plus wages of players released last summer saved. So the re balancing has happened already. Swansea have made cuts back now focusing on developing their own talent and loan players in. Told you all this in the summer Roversfan99. And the reasons why they wouldnt get top 6. Well we have to disagree on tonight game. Ive already said I enjoyed it. Also praised O'Neill and the impact him and his staff have had already.

Cos I dont think Swansea will get top 6 as I said at start of the season. They are re balancing their finances. Cooper has some great contacts in football and bringing in many of England under 19's he had there. I said they would top 10 and IMO thats a successful for them. Always going to dull games when you have teams playing 4 games in days. Just like PL games were. Enjoyed tonight game tho.

I just Leeds are struggling now. Same problem as last season kicking in again. Fulham have improved at the back with Hector at the back. Leader and organiser they lacked. Brentford have some attacking players that they scored goals with their BMW trio in attack. Swansea will do well to get playoffs. Cooper been impressive so far. Still think they just miss out on top 6 but will be successful season IMO for them. Rovers. Only 5 points of top 6 and decent chance of getting there IMO. If Armstrong, Downing, Travis, Lenihan and Adarabioyo stay fit. If we could add a couple of signings could help our cause. Very competitive league and very enjoyable to Watch.

I think Fulham and Brentford will get top 2. Leeds need a striker or 2 IMO. WBA need a couple of signings.

WBA and Leeds both defeat in this round of fixtures. And tbh both deserve nothing. Will both not get top 2. I thought Stoke was excellent tonight. Defensive very solid. Butland solid as a rock. Michael O'Neill has made them harder to beat. Good structure to the team and formation. Danny Batth deserved his man of the match award

Sounds like no leaks from Rovers. Keeping it very close.

Maybe long term but I agree with @roversfan99's latest comment that Downing is the answer probably for next 18 months. Depending on his fitness, legs and mobility.

Good win by players. Bess and Pope the standouts for me.

I think we shouldnt making a decision on Bell until end of the season. Analysis all options 1st and see what the budget and our options are

Downing looks excellent in centre midfield. Who I would a new contract to..

Cunningham has 18 months left on his contract. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44380823

Fair enough.

England cricket fans at the ground are fantastic. Such a bond with the players

Played left winger on Saturday for his club. Where he played all season apart from one according to transfermarkt.com

Firstly, no need to post the 1st comment Curtis is a winger. Rathbone is centre midfielder who we been linked with

Mark Bowen at Reading a new 18 months contract last week. Done a decent job there

Centre midfielder not AM

I mean the last one to do before Bess did.

When I said sounds a good choice I was talking the type of keeper TS described.
