Alan, if Bobby gets his chance he will play for Doncaster Rovers but to push on he now needs to play league football, the days of loans out to clubs below league 1 are not his ambition, that is to be the first choice here or loans out at the same level or above. He does not see u23s football as a place he would improve from where he is now. The run of games at the end of the season, and how well he played gave him the confidence to kick on, he is ambitious for himself and the club, and sees playing for Doncaster Rovers first team and doing well as the best way to progress his career at the moment. Other bigger clubs are tracking his progress, the club really do need to market the product carefully the way clubs like Peterborough use the market to their advantage, and if things go well Bobby will not be the last, but the first of a some talented youngsters we can develop of our own who force their way into the managers thoughts as first team players.

Make him a centre piece of our team until someone comes along and pays a small ransom to him (of which that money would be invested back into improving the first team squad). Become a selling club at great profit margins and in the midst of it all have some great prospects in the team. Watch Bobby thrive under Cliff Byrnes guidance.
Josh Magennis was rumoured to be a target when GM was here last time, took him to Hull City , then on to Wigan who been struggling to pay wages

Maybe one for SCWK but managers tend to go back to players they have worked with beforehand. Who could potentially join the Club that has played under McCann? Let's start with GoalkeepersGeorge Long? Or would he be way out of our price range/budget?
Wonder if Tyler Smith could be tempted to drop to league 2 on loan. He won’t be wanted at Hull and was at Oxford at the end of the season I think

Has the pace and energy for high press and making runs in behind.Local lad too. Sounds sensible?
Seen Josh Emmanuel's name mentioned who is an athletic full-back.Prompted me to look through the squad he worked with at Hull in L1. Dan Crowley was there on loan and is now available after leaving Morecambe. Tom Eaves hasn't had a great time at Rotherham so might become available - wouldn't be my first choice necessarily but would add some physicality and power up front.
There are lots of posts relating to players who would be good in league 2. Surely we should be considering L1 and potential championship for the younger players.Be positive!I would be shocked if the lads are going to let the play offs go now given their current mentality when approaching the games.
Matty smith left Salford maybe a good signing
