Oh well, at least the hope's have been dashed early enough so that I'm not refreshing this page for the next 8 hrs. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Not much happening anywhere it seems. The Sky sports news reporters will have their work cut out making this sound exciting up until 11. Quick, someone grab a massive purple dildo and head down to Turf moor

With parachute money there still better placed than us. Who out the three you mentioned have a better team than fulham, Huddersfield and burnley

Arguably all three?

Eh? Players being signed up and down the championship.

[rog of the rovers]

As cliched as it sounds Travis and Nuttall have been like new signings, Rodwell too to some extent, all have added depth to the team. 

Combine that with 4 league wins on the bounce and we're  two/three more wins off ensuring (at worst) another season in the Championship has made our January pretty successful without having to take a big financial risk in this transfer window.

30/01/18 - Rovers 3-1 Walsall - Graham 2 and Dack to go 2nd in League One.

31/01/19 - Rovers sit 3 points off the Championship playoff places...

So we are waiting for the price to come down on Assomabalonga? Could be waiting a while. All eyes on boro.

I can see where you're coming from, clearly this is results business and results of late have been very good, but I don't think that those 4 or 5 games should detract from the bigger picture. If we have a medium to long term plan I would expect to see signings to fit into that irrespective of how we've performed over January.

Likewise if we finish the season with a winning run and end up in 7th missing the play-offs on goal difference I wouldn't expect us to put our feet up for the summer on the basis we've done well and don't need any more.

This talk from Mowbray about the players he wants being way, way too expensive isn't good. If we've spent January pursuing players who are way out of our budget then we're wasting our time.

[AAK]

That's that then. Downing and Palmer out and Chapman, who won't be fit for a couple of months in. So arguably finishing the window slightly weaker. Hopefully another academy player can step up if we have injuries.

[Dreams of 1995]

In fairness though the departure of Downing equals the emergence of Rodwell and the departure of Palmer is irrelevant because he didn't exactly play much of a part. With any luck it will mean more chances for one of our own in Rothwell!

Plus Nuttall stinks of goals anyway so balls to Britt

[chaddyrovers]

We kept all of our best players. Lost 1 back up defender but we are well cover there. On Palmer,.he was barely playing. Not good enough for us. But was never going to take Dack place in the side. 

We now have Rothwell playing more and up front we have enough.

Ask your nemisis Madon?

[SBlue]

So from Saturday night full of positivity about the squad, manager and team...

Back to squabbling and disappointment.

All because of some far fetched rumours.

@Paul Mellelieu, please ban Madon for disrupting the harmony of the board.
