How good is Carter, what an absolute gem!!

My only criticism with him a couple of months ago was he'd have 30 yards of space in front of him and hit a long ball. He's now started driving into the space superbly - great to see.

Any one have info on this Rochdale lad? I see he is a midfielder but is he that good?

Back in for the striker we missed out on in the summer, at this point you have got to be thinking dembele or maya 

Could be Alexander Aravena, the young Chilean we were linked with?

More interested than missed out on though.

Personally I didn't want hair (her) here at all, so I consider this a very close shave.

Told she'll be a fringe player so will want to mullet over

Who is this Szmodics fella who nicked a Land Rover from Barnsley and drove it to Peterborough?

He plays for Brentwood I believe

I just hope we're above Burnley at 5pm, and it stays that way until then end of season.

...and we beat them home and away obviously!!

Rovers scouts were in attendance as Malmo  got beat 2-1 last night …..Malmo had 37 shots 18 on target but still couldn’t breakdown the minnows ….. Berget was playing as a forward…. 

Birmancevic was playing too...

Apologies for not bothering finding the correct thread but this is good news for the lad.

I could think of worse loans to add a bit of quality for the run in.

Tbh...and of course it's just highlights...reminds me of Buckley from those clips. Nicks the ball well and has a great range of passing. Physically sturdier than him though.

As ever the question is, can he do the stuff on the highlights with any consistency (them all being from one month is promising though) and can he step up a level and do it against better players? For the right price though, wouldn't mind a punt. Hard to see how he gets past Dack to compete for that Buckley role, but perhaps capable of operating deeper.

I agree, I did think of Buckley in the first one where he kept nicking it off the players toes. A little of Cairney too with the left foot and range of passing.

I would rather take a (relatively) cheap punt on players like this, in hope we can bring them up to the level needed, rather than spend money on loans like Clarkson who never looked like he'd be physically up to the job.

It's then up to the player to force his way into the team ahead of others.

Scot Twine is the one to get from Mk Dons

If we're to lose Rothwell and Johnson at the end of the season I'd take both. Not sure MK would agree though 😄

I know they're just rumours, but a bit surprised nobody seems to want to discuss either. Had they already been posted and I missed it?

Just had a look at Matt O'Riley as I don't know anything about him, looks a really talented player.

Usual disclaimer, I know it's only highlight reels, anyone can look good.... etc

I've only watched a couple of 'EFL player of the month' highlights videos, but I would suggest you couldn't make reel that impressive over 5 years of a Corry Evans for example, yet all in only one month for O'Riley.

Wand of a left foot, playmaker from deep but also gets forward, nicks the ball off players, skillfull, composed, takes set pieces, scores a few, seems to have it all.

Only 21 and was at Fulham previously, offered a 3 year deal with option of a fourth. Turned it down to leave for first team football in a lower league which you have to respect. Same as Tayo.

Obviously would expect the club to do more scouting than my 5mins, but I can see why there seems to be a bit interest in him.
