Scott Robertson

This was a signing more than I thought we would do this transfer window.
Is the prospect of signing the man from Coventry now dead?

Yes, it was either Bogle or him, and Bogle was the 1st choice.

Will we throw a sneakie one in before 11 o'clock Monday night just asking for a friend

Simoes will be one that drops out or even goes back when everyone is fit unless he shows more than he has done so far

[Donnywolf]

Phew - who would be a Manager lol

[ss1953]

Can’t wait for next Saturday when all the new guys will be ready for selection.

Well done Board, Gavin, DM and Adam Henshall

And a thanks to SM for keeping us informed and grounded.

He can't go back until the summer now.

Yes, I'd like to echo that too. Trying to manage fans expectations in the face of adversity is no easy task. I think the vast majority of fans trust the board but sometimes it's must be hard not to lose sight of that when the noisy minority take to social mediums to vent their spleen. It never ceases to amaze me how some people continue to meddle in things they can know very little about.

Our board have continued to 'back the manager' of the day through several transfer windows and particularly recently we have seen quality players Inc those with raw potential beyond what many of us expected. The board need to be applauded for keeping us competitive in these exceptionally difficult times.

[Alan Southstand]

Same from me, DBR. Nobody has banged the ‘back the manager’ drum more than me, so it’s with huge relief and no little excitement that we have, at last, done exactly that. 6 signings in January is it? Unheard of!

The capture of Bostock was a game changer, for me, and then we topped that with Sims. Then, just as the dust was settling, up pops Bogle. I hadn’t even realised we’d signed the Celtic lad until my brother-in-law sent me a text this morning! Not expecting it at all, my reply to him was ‘WHY?’

[EasyforDennis]

Delighted with the signings this month and well done to all concerned in getting them here. Don't take this to be in any way negative but what message does this send to the likes of AJ Greaves?

[StocksArmy]

Win today, Hull & Peterborough lose, a massive covid outbreak prevents season being completed, DRFC are crowned League One Champions. Happy Saturday.

I bet superfan Scott Robertson from Armthorpe is glad we've signed Scott Robertson!

[ravenrover]

SM just two words to say to Gavin and the rest of the board
THANK YOU

Competition for places. With the fixtures we’ve got coming up, everyone will get their chance.

AJ can either take this and turn it into a positive and work even harder than he is doing or he can go under and be the next Alfie Beestin. Football is 50% talent 50% mentality and if he doesnt have the latter he will be on his way and rightly so. Hes got a lot to improve on to be a regular for me.

I was gonna say, when I saw this news I thought I hope he’s improved his fitness levels. Last time I saw Scott Robertson he’d had about 10 pints on a London away day!

Alfie Beestin is doing great at the moment. Scored a belter last night.

Depends on your perception of "great". I wouldnt call playing at the bottom end of League 2 doing great. No disrespect but he has so much ability and hes not lived up to expection at the minute.

I was thinking that Simoes had improved game on game.
He looked very lively against Wimbledon.

[jmt23]

Is it one too many? we've gone from a team full of defenders, to a team full of midfielders - makes you wonder how much DM will rotate. A great position to be in, along as it does not lead to tinkering for tinkerings sake.

One in the eye for the doom merchants, and board bashers.

I like him hound. Think there is more to come from him of course.
There are some who expect players to produce excellence from day one. It takes time usually for any new player to bed in at a new club. Also he hasn’t had much game time at Barnsley this season.
He has skill and pace and the longer DM works with him the better he is going to get.

The way games are coming at us it gives opportunity to rotate the squad a bit
Great backing from the board thank you
