Am I the only one looking forward to chaddy's positive spin on the window after 11?

[West Yorks Rover]

I wonder what GB would do if Lowe had to come off injured after 15 mins and Dabo came on and played a blinder.

Would be interesting for the next games, especially when Evans is back in a couple of weeks.

It had to be this way I'm afraid. These financial losses just couldn't last. It signifies to me that the penny has dropped. Promotion would be a minor miracle and its time to accept where we are. In the same way people have said potential incomings should be priced on the transfer fee plus the weekly wage over the period of the contract. We now have to look at this as being £1.75m plus Danns wages over however long was left of his contract incoming. Im fairly sure any manager worth his salt could pick up a centre half of Danns quality and get change out of that amount.

The squad has lost a lot of numbers for sure. But it was heavily bloated and needed sorting. It will probably make very little difference to the final outcome of this season. I have to say, the owners have been fair in letting it stay as large until now. Had we been sitting pretty in promotion contention I expect they'd have left it alone to give us a fighting chance in the run in. Now it looks unlikely it'll be needee there was no point in maintaining the squad size.

If I was a betting man I'd bet on a new centre half coming in on loan and maybe even a striker too. Unless Best has found god and repents his sins.

McDermott sacked so looks like Varney will have to wait.

[bazza]

Wycombe have quartered shirts, always have I think..http://www.wycombewanderers.co.uk/

So they have. My mistake.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

GB puts Dunny in CD, alongside Robbo, Kilgallon in goal to protect him from injury, Lowe & Dabo up front, JR on the bench as an explosive sub, I'm available as a holding midfield general, as unlike Abbey, I possess a Rovers shirt, and Leon as ball boy.....I know it's radical, but I've stopped drinking in advance of the call.

[neophox]

Conway is Another bargain. Best Brighton player when he was there on loan and Brighton onlys lost 2 games when Conway started.

[patrickvalery]

This sky coverage is rotten. Such a bizarre pantomime. Is anyone else craving a banana?

A machete actually, it's a ruddy freakscene. Simon Jordan, what a front to back. No er sorry, I remember now, I meant "his honesty is really refreshing".

[Guest Norbert]

Fingers crossed for some loans in soon. We're looking pretty short in defence and up front.

[AdamRochina]

everyone signing loads in championship

[roversR4ever]

Well Conway is a good replacement for the injured Marshall. Dabo? Haven't got a clue as no idea how good he is. I've been impressed by Kilgallon not sure there's a lot in it between him and Dann.

The squad does look fairly small we can't afford an injury to either forwards or CBS .

Would be happier if we got cover in both positions.

[Darwen Rover 007]

Correct me if I'm wrong but we can still loan players in after tonight; therefore the 2xcb's isn't a complete disaster although highly risky of course?!

Martin Blackburn says Scott Dann was on £37k a week
