It's touch and go but if it were to come off, it would give us all a massive lift and a serious statement of intent. 

Fingers crossed and I'm logging off now to avoid temptation/frustration getting the better of me, as I've been inclined to do in the past!

COYB!!!

WE ARE The Rovers!!!

Darren has just lit the fuse....

 

Where's my phone charger?

That's what I was saying earlier, we've got one fit striker at the moment who has hit the net in a league match.

Expand  

And four days for the injured to recover before our next game.

[Tormund]

Who’s a serious statement of intent I wonder?

Funny how people take a lack of excitement as failure, think people would prefer we sold players and scrambled round trying to get replacements in just because it would be more exciting

In reality if we get this Giles chappy in it’s been a very decent window for me 

Expand  

Not to mention we did most of our business early, which is what people on here usually moan about us not doing. Not sure what people were expecting, it's the injury situation that has caused the biggest problem, not the lack of transfer activity.

Apparently there was some issues within the messageboard once the interest was made known and he wanted to speak to the other board. It forced the mods to call the owners ask for technical support...some Indian lad answered to assist.

Expand  

His missus was worried that his "head wouldn't be in the game" whilst the transfer window was on and didn't want to be sat there worrying that he wasn't listening to her properly.

She has therefore confiscated his laptop until Tuesday.

On being asked about whether Chaddy could have his laptop back she said:

"We'll see. On Tuesday we'll sit down and it's a different conversation"

Lingard's not getting a game at ManU

Or Salah might be tempted. Is that serious enough?

And who of our injured "strikers" would you put money on to give a performance to keep us in the top two?

Khadra.

Rothwell does not want to play for this club so what are we keeping? A pure mercenary reluctantly putting on the shirt because no one would pay a proper price for him? I'd swap him for someone enthusiastic about playing for us, even if they are unproven. 

Expand  

Given the huge bonus at the end of the season if we get promoted I think we've got a good chance of remotivating him?

Discussing the potential departure of Dembele earlier this week, Fry said: "There is no way we will sell him on transfer deadline day.

“Because that would give us no time to sign a replacement.”

Expand  

Their owner has tweeted that two players will be leaving this evening.

Obviously, that doesn’t necessarily mean one will be Dembele, or that he would be coming to us, but you never know……

[AJW]

Chapmans gone back to Burton

Darren has literally given is a big dollop of disappointment to be digested at 11 o clock... I hope I'm wrong.

[Hi Mack]

It’s a long slog until May. This squad is screaming out for reinforcements! 
 

If BBD gets injured tomorrow we are in a whole world of trouble. Would have liked some midfield back up too……it is what it is though, if there’s no money- there’s no money! 

[Tormund]

Chapman out next must be somebody else coming in!

[Paul Mellelieu]

Hopefully Dack adds to our forward options too.

Dembele would be perfect for the way Rovers play - can play up front or on the wing.

Is this the start of Rovers business for this evening? I always thought we'd see a few players going out on loan along with a couple of incomings.

Gallagher and Khadra are injured.

Chapman and Khadra are midfielders. Hedges is a winger. Gallagher rarely gets played as a striker.

We've got Brereton and Butterworth.

The four I named are used as wide forwards
