Yes an absolute passenger.

We desperately need a winger, like Rak Saki, to get behind defences when teams come and “park the bus”. A good winger with pace who will drag defenders out of their shape and create space for our strikers to score.

From his videos his second touch is always a tackle just like Gallagher.

They got Ennis because he was FREE not because they thought he was better.

Btw I wouldn’t be surprised if the AW sale goes through on deadline day evening so that we haven’t time to reinvest and then any funds for transfers are forgotten about come the summer. it seems that that is what happened when we got decent money for AA.

If we sold AW would we be happy with 20M plus 20% sell on, plus Raj Saki on a permanent deal?

Surely seeing how he can progress would be better than £75K when he is supposed to be highly rated.

Yes but they also thought Pickering would play for England!

Do you get the feeling that Venkies view us like one of their chicken farms? Get them young fatten them up and sell ‘em on. We are like their “farmers”, but developing players instead of chickens. In their eyes we would be self sustaining. What they don’t understand is their “football business” relies on keeping its customers happy so that they keep coming back for more. But, take away the passion, hope and potential glory and you kill the customer base and you no longer have a business. Complete numpties!!

Absolutely. It’s not much to ask is it. Pull your fingers out recruitment department. 😊

How ironic would it be if they sacked JDT and hired big Sam.

Relegation battle. Every point counts.

Wing backs who don’t cross. We desperately need a winger who can go past his man.

Sorba Thomas looking best player on the pitch. Something to prove?

Pickering left his man!!

There’s not a Rovers player who can win a tackle. Too soft.

A loan until the end of the season would be useful as an Ennis replacement, but not as a Gallagher replacement.

I sadly missed that game, much to my regret. If my memory serves me well, the original game (which I had a ticket for) was called off and that was the rearranged game which I couldn’t attend. I missed an amazing game apparently. Jim was a cart horse, but was an absolute beast in the air so strong and solid that nobody could knock him off the ball. When he took a run up at corners players got knocked out of the way like 9 pins. Why do modern players not take long run ups at corners? You get so much better height to your jump and it’s more difficult to be marked.

I totally agree. It’s very wearing. As you say, with no light at the end of the tunnel and bring on a very slippery slope it is very depressing. When one’s mood is governed by the ups and downs of Rovers fortunes it is very difficult. As I have been Rovers fan for 60 years now, I’m starting to feel that for my own well-being, I need to “let go”. But they’re in my blood, so it will be very difficult and may not be possible. Rovers consume too large a part of my day for my own good. I feel like Venkies are literally slowly killing me with their actions and attitude, but I know i won’t be able to change and that in itself is even more depressing. I think that now is the time for Venkies to sell up and go and we’ll just have to live with the consequences. We have to start moving forward again no matter where that starting point eventually is.

Has to be £2M surely before we let him leave. If they do and it’s not reinvested it could be the final straw for JDT.

It’s because they can’t trust the goalkeeper.

Hyam has been rubbish since he came back from injury. never mind youngsters we need experienced defenders.

We’re definitely in a relegation scrap now.

I thought it was the club saying he was injured (because of contractual terms).

He would offer protection at corners and give us a much needed plan B. If he is pushing for more game time in order to be considered for the Euros the cherries may take a contribution only to his salary. Obviously if other teams are willing pay his full salary then we will have no chance.
