Two lads who have just gone out on loan from Villa seem to be doing ok - Davies and Archer.

Forest signed Davis on loan on 1st January, obviously they had done their homework early.

Both Davis and Archer look and play like pro footballers and we have a galloping donkey.

Forest can then sub Davis for Sam Surridge .....

Sam Surridge is Gallagher mark 2 to be fair. Shite.

No, he's not that bad and another plus is that he runs like a footballer, our one cant even do that.

Anyone expecting SG to replace BBD goal scoring potential can also expect disappointment, Buckley has more chance.

For @Sparks RoverYes, we should have gone for Whiteman

I like Whiteman but I think the reason why we didn’t go for him is we had Buckley coming through. I don’t think you could play them both in the same team.

The reason we didn't go for him is we got kaminski instead.  We needed a goalie that's what mogga told BW

Such different players Tyrone.  BW dictates the pace of the game...they would play well together...Bucko just ahead of him

So why was he even talking to him?

Well we definitely needed a goalkeeper. No argument there.

I’m not so sure about that.

Not seen much of Whiteman to suggest he's any better than what we have. In fact he definitely isn't better than Travis or Rothwell, so he'd be sat on the bench anyway. Travis had him on a string at Ewood earlier in the season.

To be fair now Sparks thinks Dack was shite and that Mols was the next big player, so I think it's best make your own call on Whiteman. Looked fairly average to me and nowhere near what we have, as you mention. Maybe hes better than Davenport

He told him that once he had a goalie sorted and there was enough money left he would come in for him.

He was outstanding v forest last night.

He was the definition of average. Brad Potts and Riis were the standouts last night.

Riis was on for 20 mins and hardly touched the ball...Evans did far more.

He’s not as good defensively as Travis, as the stats prove, or as good offensively as Rothwell, again as the stats prove.

Oh, so you want everything do you....what are Travis goal stats like? Travis 3 Whiteman 32...Travis hasn't got the same game...different player.  Travis can't pass further than 10 yards...that's why his stats are better...

Big difference mate...He literally has scored more goals than both combined...🤣

That’s this season mate. Not sure Whiteman has 32 this season.

And the interceptions and ground duels? Is that because Travis is a couple of inches smaller? Or another make believe reason?

Like I said, he’s not as good offensively as Rothwell, or defensively as Travis, and therefore wouldn’t play.

Travis has 3 all his career. Travis is good but not as good

I’ll repeat, Travis is better defensively and Rothwell is better offensively.

Don't care what you say ...I watched them all and I put Rothwell and Whiteman miles ahead of Travis.

I don’t think you quite understand what I’m saying. Rothwell is better offensively than whiteman. Travis is better defensively than whiteman. Therefore he wouldn’t take either spot off either of them.

I understand your opinion.  I don't share it. He would walk into our team.
