It's the old conundrum. Today Huddersfield had 11 workers out there and missed several chances. You bring in a " finisher " and all of a sudden you've got 10 workers and your finisher. Do you still make the same number of chances ? Do you make any chances ? If you do make a chance and your finisher misses it, then what.

From what I've seen of Burnley whoever plays up front with Vokes is expected to run the channels and generally put themselves about. Not really Rhodes game is it. From what I read their problem is making goal scoring chances not failing to take them.

I have thought for a while, that we are more likely to sell players that are doing remotely well, then bring in anyone to improve us. I would not be in the least bit surprised to see someone like Graham go, or even Conway for that matter.

We are in a relegation battle now so we need some form of investment. Last time we ended up like this it was the result of selling/freezing out solid players and having a buffoon as manager. At least it isn't like that this time.......

Venkatesh, (the confused one ) most likely a mistake with the B in front

How do you know it's a mistake? Maybe the mystery owner is Benkatesh

We must be the only club that is looking to spend the January window cutting costs further rather than doing the necessary to keep us up this season.

It appears these idiots would sooner spend January shaving another few thousand off the weekly wage bill by getting rid of the likes of Bennett and Guthrie than make serious efforts to avoid a likely relegation this season by bringing people in, including a new manager.

Marshall gone is a foregone conclusion. It disgusts me that after 6 years of playing games and lying to supporters that Coyle and co. still think people will swallow the 'illness' line that has kept him out of the last two games. Obviously Cheston, Pasha and co. won't be aware that if we beat Newcastle tomorrow and Wolves lose then we'll only be 4 points behind them in our quest to find 3 clubs to finish above, but it seems the whole survival thing is a side issue at the club.

It really shouldn't be because I'm sure the financial cost of even one season in League One will be far greater than any income they'll get from selling Marshall/Bennett or investing some cash in 2-3 decent additions in January, as other clubs will prove in the coming weeks.

Once he's gone and his £200k or whatever peanuts fee we'll get for him is banked then they'll move on to the next sale project. Danny Graham is rising to the top of that list. He's on course for potentially 20 goals this season in a woeful team and must be getting sick of things when he's putting us ahead or level in games and we're not coming away with anything to show for it. He won't be joining us in League One and will have some value for a transfer, so I'll bet a 'story' in the Lancashire Telegraph/Sun will appear in the next couple of weeks linking him with a move to a rival which will then snowball before he is sold to someone like Norwich for a million quid.

I think Coyle is looking to get rid of fringe players like Guthrie, Bennett and sending Byrne and Hendrie in hope Venkys let him sign 3 or 4 players.

Marshall will leave

If that's the case he's an even bigger idiot than I thought he was.

No Raya ?

No Lowe ?

No Akpants ?

What about the young talented Joe Rankin - Costello ?

But they aren't

A list of who Rovers have done deals with in 12 months period was published.

so isn't that being transparent?

what are you actually after?

Who's Doyles agent chaddy along with Tomlinson and Rankin-Costello's ?

I reckon they'll stay until the summer at least - Boro are likely to stay up so that's £2 million quid. We must have some other sell on clauses (Judge, King, Gestede, Hanley etc.). Piece of string and all that.

Will we get that if they flog Rhodes though?

Anyone linked with the hopeless Liam Feeney ?

Please!

I would think so. Otherwise they could be accused of selling him just to get out of paying their contractual dues.

Worryingly, when fit Guthrie is probably the best of a bad bunch in the middle.

Yup. Central midfield is an utter joke and has looked poor since about 2008.

For a couple of runs Evans and Guthrie looked like a decent combination but both severely lack fitness and can only at best manage 4 games before one breaks down.

Seriously I think the last proper realiable central midfielder turning out for rovers was Savage. That's crazy.

That is worrying, as he is pretty awful.

The truth is we don't have any good central midfielders. Evans is only decent if he has much better players around him, of which there are none in our present team.

No leaders, no talent and no courage. Might as well replace "Arte et Labore" with that.
