Lose BBD ..its a relegation dog fight We don't look a fluid attacking threat as is and BBD is the one clinical finisher we have who puts the little chances we have away We can't replace his goals, especially this late in the window

Agreed on ayala ..when fit he's the best in this league

Your the third person to hear it... oh dear

Wonder why are transfer deals seem to happen at a snails pace.. even brittain said he waited weeks to sign ...wonder if its a structure thing..jdt says yes to the player..then suhail..then wait for venkys to sign off on it

Would you say pickering has the makings of a decent CB?

Fully agree, I generally think pickering would make a decent CB , he does have a good defensive mind and looked assured there, I think his lack of pace ruins him.at fullback

Understand what your saying but brittain has played RB or RWB most his career and can do either back 4 or 5 Styles played LWB In a back 5 the season Barnsley got play offs ..I don't think he's ever played an out and out LB in a back 4

Styles won't remain at Barnsley in this Window I'm sure, he's far to good for league 1

Mullan says we are still interested but I was told we backed out the minute we loaned morton, Styles was being looked at for midfield not for LB, Styles can play lwb in a back 5 not a back 4

I'm only playing ..Will settle for 3

I want 5 signings today

Which is a very fair assumption, but we've been burnt before when we have expected to sign players..days tick by..then its deadline day and we get excited for a busy day and nothing happens Hopefully under the new regime its very different

Another day and no signing ..no rumours or whispers We only had to sort out small details for Styles apparently, but that was weeks ago and since been told we backed away from Styles and loaned morton No rumours of a left back which means JDT might think we are OK with edun and pickering fighting for that position, bad news if true No rumours or sniffs of a striker Josh bowler link gone super cold No rumours or sniffs of a CM Loan of SVDB seems to now rely on if Liverpool are light in defence No chatter on JpVH coming back Either we really do keep our business super quite or we are really struggling to get stuff over the line

After reflecting on last night I really do think we need the following as a bare minimum LB - Styles (people say we are still in for him some say we have backed out) he's a very good LWB for this league and would help balance out the side CB - Van hecke, don't care what it takes get it done CB loan - Sep van den berg, can cover cb and rb and is a very solid player in this division Josh bowler - we need options up top, Vale needs a loan and dolan should only be used as a sub against tiring legs ST - pacey tricky striker please!

Honestly shambolic worse then I ever saw under mowbray

Reading deserved it tbf ..absolutely outclassed us today.. we got the first half so wrong but reading been very good and up for it Really poor from rovers as we have Sheffield United next.....we desperately need fucking signings and quick

Rave reviews in two games he's started now?

I was a big fan of dolan but the more I see of him the poorer he looks Vale a million miles off champ standard Buckley invisible again Pickering isn't a decent fullback Sammie looks a poor signing at this moment in time

Mowbray got stick for how poor we looked at times..but this is the worst half I've seem from a rovers side in a while..its like we haven't even trained this week

Ayala off the line! ..wake the fuck up Rovers! Wtf is this

Really embarrassing from rovers this.. no where near a top of the table side ..Reading very comftable and must think how the hell are these top

Tbf we are hard to break down, so it was always going to be like a set piece to do us.. or a delfecfion like West brom lol we just don't create enough up top .. very few chances but so far this season we have put them away but that won't always happen

Pickering ffs .. set piece too.. so far 15 minutes in I feel JDT has the line up wrong .. vale very poor

Vale should not be starting in the championship..really poor so far from him

BBD mistake almost cost us.. we broke on them but dolan lack of pace meant he couldn't beat the fullback
