Scott Robertson

[Retdon1]

Rovers about to announce another new signing

[silent majority]

It's to bolster the squad and give DM the backing.

[Retdon1]

Scottish too by the clue on twitter

[Getridorit]

Darren's definitely been backed, well done all concerned

[Buzzberry]

Scott Robertson announced this morning. Good enough for me this week gets better...now just need 3 points today for perfection. Kept this signing very quiet steady player...love it!  Highly thought of in scotland

[DonnyOsmond]

Eligible today!

Scott Robertson. Loan from Celtic. Midfielder. Was on loan first half of the season at Gillingham.

[NickDRFC]

Scott Robertson, Celtic central midfielder who was on a season long loan at Gillingham and recalled a couple of weeks ago. 15 appearances for the Gills.

[Big Fey]

The bench has just got very strong all of a sudden, madger is back as well according to DM, aside from copps.. Are we fully fit again?

[steve@dcfd]

7 loans now, ok JJ missing for at least 2 months  so it will be interesting it says he’s a defensive midfield so will share the workload with Matt Smith.

After this transfer window (even with Whiteman leaving) I’m convinced it’s going to happen.

We are going up....

Tuesday night was where it all came together, matt smith took charge of the middle and stepped out of the shadow of BW, he's gonna be such an important player for us as the season goes on.

Isn't Sims a couple of weeks away from match readiness?

But never played against us on 12th Dec.

A quick look on the Gill's Fans Forum and most wanted him to stay , but there seems to be a question mark about his fitness.

He starts back with us on Monday so it could be two weeks, when he’s ready DM will have 6 outfield loans to juggle to make 5 for match days.

Seen quite a bit of him this season. He’s not stood out, but being a midfielder in a Fatty Evans team isn’t ideal. Defensively minded, Celtic must have though that he could benefit more by being here than at Gills, hence the recall.

Obviously it’s a problem that’s a few weeks/months away with Sims and John-Jules not fit but with Balcombe, Sims, Richards and probably Smith stitched on for the match day squad there will only be room for one of Robertson, Simoes & John-Jules. There’s a chance that Robertson or Simoes does really well and proves themselves in that time as well - will be a headache picking the squad (but a nice headache to have!)

a small write up and Gill's fans reactions.

[DonnyOsmond]

Probably fit better in to our team than Gillingham's.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Bloody eck! This is getting silly now. And on a Saturday??? How are we supposed to keep up!
We must have got hold of a batch of biros!

All welcome to give DM the armoury to sustain our challenge. Perhaps maybe not so good from AJ Greaves perspective however, who knows what's in DM thoughts!

I've felt this season, due to the fixture list and available players DMs had to carefully manage our way through games without taking many risks and rotating very successfully.

Perhaps now, he can let them off the leash and truly go for it. Play with freedom and give it everything from the off in the knowledge there's an able replacement chomping at the bit to get on the pitch.

Strap in and enjoy the ride!

Some serious depth to the squad now. If we have 3/4 injuries or suspensions then we will be able to cope and still have a decent bench
If the whole squad was available for selection then DM has some difficult decisions
It is very rare though that no one is injured.

Some serious intent to get promoted this season. Very well done to the board for backing DM at this juncture with the financial situation as it is.

Beat Lincoln today and we will all be talking as though we are promoted already.
Feet on the floor time whatever the result today. Still another 24 games to play.
Not half way yet which seems strange at the end of January. Well it is strange.

[since-1969]

What is really doing my nut in .. is we seem to have one of the best squads in L1 as well as well  as getting the results to show how good they are , yet we can’t watch them in person AND show how much we appreciate everyone’s achievements this far . RTiD !! 

[Chris Black come back]

I suspect we had to pay Whiteman a lot more to get him to sign the new deal last year. Getting his wage off the books likely financed a lot of the loans.

[silent majority]

He's been on our radar for a while. He was the one that was a definite if Bostock didn't sign, but pleased that the club decided on getting them both.

The Whiteman deal shows how savvy the board can be at times. We knew he wanted to leave and yet they arrange a long term deal with him so that it would help in any negotiations, which it did.

Its partly his wages CBcb, but also the money from his transfer. Don't forget the salary cap kicks in, making it harder to keep paying players more.

[Campsall rover]

Probably fit better in to our team than Gillingham's.

Will probably enjoy playing more for DM than he did for Evans. Also will develop and improve as a player under DM. Would he under Evans?

We'll just have to go up then, where the salary cap is a little bit more "relaxed".

[DonnyOsmond]

We've gone from having to play James and Halliday at CM to now having Smith, Gomes, Bostock, Greaves and Robertson for those two spots. James and Richards as options too.
