We are also only a couple of injuries away from a disaster, Ayala, Lenihan, Nyambe etc. are all physio gold pass members.

The back end is going to get rotated as much as the front line.   It's ok though because he's only bothered about players personal development not league positions. Even if they aren't actually ours and offer no long term benefit to the club whatsoever.

Wasted the budget on new head recruitment guy, he is planning his summer holidays on his nice wage.

To be honest, i'd rather they say foooook all, the window we've had is tbe biggest statement of the lot "we are shit and on the downward spiral"

[pomster]

I'm intrigued now as to the state of the relationship between Sulhail and the covtrio? Whats simmering we dont know about

What was said was: "if we finished top 10 they probably would ". Not that it's what anybody wants.

Probably would is the same as give him a new contract, is it not?

[Paul Mellelieu]

By any measure - and let's use the club's for once - the failure to replace AA with a proven goal-scorer must be seen as a massive failure.  it is not unreasonable to ask serious questions about Waggot and his ability to deliver the players that Tm identified.

 

With 30 goals to cover we have brought in players with little-or-no experience in this league and everything to prove.  We may okay, and the defence does look better - until Ayala gets injured at least - but in midfield and upfront what has this window achieved?  In midfield we are very low on players who both stay fit and who are able to impose themselves on the opposition.  Hopefully the new recruits can add to the dearth of technically-able players.  Upfront, who can see the AA goals being replace?  Ends.

I hope it involves a catapult capable of launching a 57 year old into the sea.

'Johns come in and done a great job he's sold a player in the last 12 months of his contract for big money. Hes brought in a host of highly thought of young players who'll only get better. Hes been sleeping at the training ground and hasn't seen his family, he works all hours this is why i, er sorry the club brought him here. The owners understand, they are happy with our business'

We keep hearing the likes of Sharpe saying we've been 'trying'. Who has? Seriously WHO is actually trying to sort these alleged deals?

The new recruitment guy did a wonderful job.

Every window and every season we just fall further and further behind. It’s rough.

People in that Rovers chat live saying Mowbray and Waggot have done a good job, I could cry. People saying if we finish top 10 give him a new contract WOW.

Just shoot me now

So, after basically 4 months, we've signed:

2x League 1 left backs for £500k each.

2x PL kids on loan at 5ft 5" each.

2x Brighton kids/cast offs on loan.

Marvelous.

Don’t forget Burke.

I’m expecting to get to the last day of the window with only a loan or two extra in then we won’t sign a permanent striker, Mowbray will come out and say we couldn’t get them over the line due to demands and people will smile and nod, then there will be no money in January.

Really hope I’m wrong and we get some quality additions in soon 

Quoting myself a couple of weeks back here but was this the easiest prediction of the window?

Dave, it's just the standard BS these snakes keep spewing. Sadly the window lickers swallow this crap

[G Somerset Rover]

Shambles as Gary Neville would say. Not a chance in hell that we’re replacing Arma’s 29 goals with our current crop, so we better bloody hope that Ayala stays fit, otherwise IMO we’re going to be in deep trouble. 

Another God awful transfer window under this lot to add to the every growing list.

Hardly inspiring. 

14 goals in seven seasons. Those two goals could prove vital in our efforts to stay up this time.
